Hello, After switching from VS2005 to VS2008 SP1, I found an issue that I can't explain. A program works fine under VS2005 in both release and debug mode. Under VS2008, when entering the debugger an assert is raised. If I let the program run (in debug or release mode), no assertion at all. I spent almost two days on this and I don't un...

We have a several large MFC applications which presently call a COM object to bring up a complex dialog. We would like to integrate the dialog into the applications -- we do not want to continue to use a COM object.
