Unnecessary locking in STL? (Visual C++ Express)

How to use a C++ library in a C# app?

Now I've got a managed dll which I've added as a reference in my C# project. Now how do I use it?

VSPackage: Modify toolbar button text/tooltip at runtime
I have been developing a Visual Studio extension as an Add-in for VS2008/2010. The new version now is to be done as a VSIX package for VS2010 only (as it has to be .NET 4 anyway), and I am having some troubles with (rather simple, I would think) UI handling. The extension primarily consists of a toolbar with some buttons that launch var...
