Now that Whidbey has been out in Beta for more than a few months, it seems worth revisiting some frequently asked questions which have different (better?) answers now. For the yes part of the answer, after building, go to the Output Window, select "Show Output from: Build", and about half way down you will see a section like this: Csc.exe /noconfig /warn:4 /define:DEBUG;TRACE /debug+ /optimize- /out:obj\Debug\ConsoleApplication1.exe /reference:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.

Ask the user to open a new shell. The best way to do this is system("echo Please open a new shell now."); sprintf(cmdstring, "echo Enter the command '%s' in it.", cmd); system(cmdstring); The traditional solution, pioneered by Microsoft, is to sell enough copies of your proprietary, slow, and limited software that everyone else supports your formats.

Use our Mono Migration Analysis tool to check if everything that your application uses has been implemented in Mono or if there are special considerations to keep in mind. The Mono API today is somewhere in between .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, see our Roadmap for details about what is implemented.

The service has been tested with a C# client auto-generated from WSDL by the wsdl.exe tool. It should work fine from any .NET language.

I have code snippets that I use often. How can I manage them so I can easily used them? In Visual Studio, you can store commonly used code snippets on a tab (other than the Clipboard ring) in your Toolbox. You use drag and drop techniques to move the...

A000001: Yes, just put the name of the macro after DANCAD3D.COM (tm) on the DOS command line. EXAMPLE: C:\DC27>DANCAD3D DEMO1.MAC

Microsoft didn't get its Standard C++ act together until Visual C++ 2003. (a.k.a. version 7.1) If you must use older versions of VC++, you're stuck with either the C API, or the ancient 1.7.1 release of MySQL++. This version is an unofficial third-party contribution which is known to have bugs. If it works, I'm happy for you. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. Microsoft is giving away a limited but functional version of Visual C++ 2005 which works just fine with MySQL++.

A : Yes and yes. DJGPP supports several methods of passing command-line arguments which allow it to work around the DOS 126-character limit. These are: The !proxy method. If you invoke the program from within another DJGPP program (like Make or Gcc compilation driver), it gets the address of the memory block where the actual command line is stored. The start-up code will detect this and use that info to retrieve the command-line arguments.

After installing the Basler BCAM 1394 SDK on your computer, you will notice that we provide some code samples for Visual Studio 6.0 (containing the VC++ 6.0 C++ compiler) and for Visual Studio 2002.NET (containing the VC++ 7.0 C++ compiler). Newer

Yes. In order to do this you will need to buy Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and a Client Access License for proper communication with the server. Team Explorer, which is included with Team Foundation Server, is a stand alone client that uses the Visual Studio 2005 shell providing a UI for source control, work item tracking and all the other features. For more information on licensing Visual Studio Team System (including Team Foundation Server) see the Team System Licensing White Paper.

Use properties. Using ant -Dname=value lets you define values for properties on the Ant command line. These properties can then be used within your build file as any normal property: ${name} will put in value.

Unix and some other systems provide a popen function, which sets up a stdio stream on a pipe connected to the process running a command, so that the calling program can read the output (or alternatively supply the input). Using popen, the last example from question 19.28 would look like extern FILE *popen(); sprintf(cmdbuf, "sort < %s", datafile); fp = popen(cmdbuf, "r"); /* ...now read sorted data from fp..
