What are your thoughts about them? Sometimes I have to write unmanaged code at work, but with large scale (games) projects, it just becomes way more time-consuming and complicated, which is solved by throwing more people at it. Do you think managed code is viable for large scale applications? (applications like Photoshop, 3ds Max, Maya...
I see the terms managed and unmanaged used a fair bit around here. Searching online I can get a fuzzy notion of what they are, but what I really need to know is how it affects me as C# desktop app developer? How do I know which I'm dealing with at any point and how does it change my approach to that code? Duplicate http://stackove...
Judy array is fast data structure that may represent a sparse array or a set of values. Is there its implementation for managed languages such as C#? Thanks ...
The app on which I work is a WinForms app written almost entirely in Visual C++ circa 2003. .NET was selected, prior to my arrival on the scene, because of the UI building framework, but the vast majority of code was developed in unmanaged land. Part of that was absolutely necessary--we do some real-time image processing on some very lar...
This started as a way to find C++/CLI and Managed C++ assemblies so that all classes internal to them could be tested to ensure all inherited methods were being reimplemented. I would like to add this as a build process step to ensure that it never happens again. Thinking about this problem also made me a bit curious as it would be int...
Hello everyone, I am debugging a crash dump of managed code, when using !threads to show all threads here, a couple of threads has Exception field value with various exceptions. My question is how to identify which exception is the root exception which causes process crash in a quick way? Any ideas why so many threads are associated wi...
I have some ANSI standard C code which is authoritative. What that means is that although I have the source, I can not translate to another language nor modify calling arguments, as those actions would invalidate the authority. There are over 150 functions. I can make incidental changes, such as change the file names from .C to .CPP s...
Frequently when I am using the Reflector, I come across lots of unsafe code. Anyone knows how much of .NET is unmanaged/safe? ...
Is it ever possible in a managed system to leak memory when you make sure that all handles, things that implement IDispose are disposed? Would there be cases where some variables are left out? ...

I know this is probably the canonical "It depends..." question but I'd appreciate any pointers as to where to start looking. I have a client/server app talking over ethernet. In one computer I run the server and a client and on another just the client. One runs Vista and one runs XP. After an uptime of about 3 weeks the entire computer ...

I have a managed C# dll that uses an unmanaged C++ dll using DLLImport. All is working great. However, I want to embed that unmanaged DLL inside my managed DLL as explain by Microsoft there: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.interopservices.dllimportattribute.dllimportattribute.aspx So I added the unmanaged dll fil...

I'm searching for the correct syntax to pass a struct array to an unmanaged C++ dll. my dll imports are called like this #define _DllImport [DllImport("Controller.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention::Cdecl)] static _DllImport bool _Validation(/* array of struct somehow */); In my client code I have List<MyStruct^> list;...
When I use a GUI in C++ the text fields are stored as managed strings, i think. I need a way to convert them to standard ints, floats and strings. Any help? ...

I have heard that C++ offers no native support for multithreading. I assume that multithreaded C++ apps depended on managed code for multithreading; that is, for example, a Visual C++ app used MFC or .NET or something along those lines to provide multithreading capability. I further assume that some or all of those managed-code capabil...
I have extensive unmanaged Windows CE 5 C++ code that provides a UI that I want to use in a new product by combining it with a large amount of newer business and communications logic written in managed C# on Windows CE 6 and the Compact Framework. The UI may know about the business logic, but I want the business logic ignorant of the UI...
