The Double Byte Size in 32 bit and 64 bit OS
Is there a difference in double size when I run my app on 32 and 64 bit environment? If I am not mistaken the double in 32 bit environment will take up 16 digits after 0, whereas the double in 64 bit will take up 32 bit, am I right? ...
Can my 32 bit and 64 bit COM components co-reside on the same machine?
I have a 32 bit COM component that is used mostly by ASP, we also have the 64 bit version. The 64 bit version is functionally identical and it also uses the same ProgID (and as far as I know the same CLSID's etc).

Can a 64 bit EXE link against 32-bit DLLs?
I ask because I noticed that many 64 bit EXEs link against what appear to be 32-bit DLLs. For example, my 64 bit MFC app links against user32.dll, urlmon.dll, wininet.dll - all of which are 32 bit DLLs that reside in windows\system32. So is this some MS specific wizardry that applies to these DLLs, or is there backward compatability, a...
How will Windows 7 be programmed? Will .NET still be king?
With Windows 7 due to be released at the end of 2009, what changes should we expect? What impact will Windows 7 have on the industry? Are we still going to be using .NET (3.5?) to program Windows?

What software exists for bridging a 64-bit ODBC app to a 32-bit ODBC driver on windows?
The problem I am looking to solve is communicating from a 64-bit app through ODBC with a datasource for which there only exists a 32-bit ODBC-driver. One solution that would suffice for the moment is using an ODBC-to-ODBC bridge. I found an ODBC-to-ODBC bridging-software created by Easysoft. Are there any alternatives? ...
