I'm working with an API that is delivered to customers as a static library. This library in turn makes use of another 3rd party library built with the Intel Compiler. This library has dependencies to some Intel libraries that I don't possess. When I build a test application I get past this by specifying these libraries in the "Ignore spe...
Assume that class Being has a property of type Habitat. Both classes are implemented in their own .cs files. When I drag and drop the two classes from the class designer onto a new Class diagram, I do not see an association line from Being to Habitat, whereas there is an association in code. Am I doing something wrong, or this simply isn...

I looked on MSDN, couldn't find it. I found an XML Schema for the .vcproj file, which is nice. But what I really want is an explanation for each of the elements in the vcproj file, a reference.

I have a VC++ project in Visual Studio 2008. It is defining the symbols for unicode on the compiler command line (/D "_UNICODE" /D "UNICODE"), even though I do not have this symbol turned on in the preprocessor section for the project. As a result I am compiling against the Unicode versions of all the Win32 library functions, as o...

I'm an MVC fan from way back and used Maverick.Net for my web sites long before ASP.Net MVC came along. One of the utopian goals I had for MVC was that I'd be able to break the horrible practice of designers doing their thing in Dreamweaver and emailing over the HTML to the developer who had to spend time fiddling around with it to massa...
I'm porting VC++7 codebase to VC++9. Surprisingly Visual Studio 2008 highlights internal as a keyword in C++ code but looks like it is not really treated as such. What is this - a bug in VS, an environment setting I haven't found yet, or a sign that I will no longer be allowed to use internal as a regular identifier in some upcoming ver...
