What's the best way to output the public contents of an object to a human-readable file? I'm looking for a way to do this that would not require me to know of all the members of the class, but rather use the compiler to tell me what members exist, and what their names are. There have to be macros or something like that, right? Contrived...

We are considering moving the win32 build of our cross-platform C++ application from MS Visual Studio 2003 to MS Visual Studio 2005. (Yes, very forward-looking of us ;) Should we expect to many code changes to get it compiling and working? ...
We are considering switching from MS Visual Studio 2003 to MS Visual Studio 2005 for our C++ development. I think jumping to 2008 might be better. In what ways are VS2008 better than VS2005 for C++ development? Are there any disadvantages of VS2008 over VS2005? ...

I'm building a project along with a Dll. The Dll must support native code so I declared it as a /clr. My project was initialy also a /clr project and everything was fine. However I'd like to include some NUnit testing so I had to switch my main project from /clr to /clr:pure. Everything still compiles but any Dll call generates a runti...

I've started a personal project in my spare time and I would like to use test-driven development since it has been a huge benefit to me in my Java development. I started this project quite a while ago, and I used CppUnit. I know there are probably other frameworks that are better, but this...
