We have an existing (old) codeline that we have recently converted from VC6 to VS2008 (converting to VS2005 along the way). After our conversion, all (or most) of our vcproj files set WINVER to 0x0500 via the Preprocessor Settings. In quite a few of our precompiled headers (typically stdafx.h), WINVER is set to 0x0500 (some still set i...
Hi all, For my application (an MMC snap-in) I need to create a single native DLL containing strings that are localized into different languages.

I'd like to change the way some types are displayed using either 'dt' or '??' in a manner similar to how you can do that with autoexp.dat. Is there a way to do this? For example, I have a structure something like this: struct Foo { union Bar { int a; void *p; } b; }; And I've got an array of a few hundred o...
Hi, I've looked everywhere on how to turn off the Tag Navigator at the bottom of my Visual Studio 2008 and can't any info!

Is there a way to disable the "Pending Checkins" processing which Visual Studio 2008 does every time one opens a solution?

I am extending the Visual Studio 2003 debugger using autoexp.dat and a DLL to improve the way it displays data in the watch window. The main reason I am using a DLL rather than just the basic autoexp.dat functionality is that I want to be able to display things conditionally. e.g. I want to be able to say "If the name member is not an em...

I would like to use complex numbers as defined in C99, but I need to support compilers which do not support it (MS compilers come to mind). I don't need many functions, and implementing the needed functions on compilers without support is not too difficult. But I have a hard time implementing the 'type' itself. Ideally, I would like to ...
