I'm using Visual Studio 2008. I'm aware that std::vector has bounds checking with the at() function and has undefined behaviour if you try to access something using the operator [] incorrectly (out of range). I'm curious if it's possible to compile my program with the bounds checking. This way the operator[] would use the at() function...

In a doc/view project using VS2008, a MFCMenuBar seems to load the correct MENU resource (IDR_MAINFRAME) from the project, since adding and removing menu items is reflected in the menu's UI. It even appends the accelerators to the default menu items (e.g. Ctrl+O to the Open... item). However, the accelerator table (IDR_MAINFRAME) doesn...

Hi: I have some .dll native C++ programs which mainly return int/double values, array structures and string values. These values should be taken by a Web Service program made in C#.

I've got a unit test I'm writing which seems to have some kind of a pointer problem. Basically, it's testing a class that, once constructed, returns information about a file. If all the files expected are detected, then the test operates correctly. If there are more files expected than detected, then the routine correctly reports error. ...
