I'm using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 for C++. When compiling, Visual Studio needs to choose against which version of the CRT and MFC DLLs the application should be linked, version 9.0.21022.8 (= RTM), 9.0.30729.17 (= SP1) or 9.0.30729.4148 (= SP1 with security update). I'd like to know how you can choose which of both versions will be linked...

Hi there, can anyone recommend a MPEG4 library that will compile(or is compatible) with Intel or Visual C++? EDIT: clarification I was not aware of x264, and ffmpeg does not compile with VC++ (compiles with MingW). Basically I need a library that can be compiled on Windows (or the name of a vendor) that will allow me to extract frames ...

Using C# WMI I start an exe on another computer and this exe starts another exe using the C# Process class. The last exe tries to call Directory.CreateDirectory using a network path (aka \\comp1\d$\dir). Directory.CreateDirectory throws this exception: Access to the path '\\\\blah\blah\blah' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(...

Although I personally prefer Linux, the hard fact it that 100% of the potential customers I can imagine run Windows. Ok, for Windows I am comfortable with C++ Builder. I suppose I could switch to NetBeans and use Java j...
I read a very fascinating article that was about programming drivers using the wdk, and one of the functions it used is called ObReferenceObjectByName. This function has given me lots of headaches. The first bad thing is that it's not documented by microsoft. The second thing, is that the language used in the article was C++, and I wa...
