Managed C++/CLI

This has nothing to do with C++/CLI, try the visual C++ forum.

What is the difference between 'constant pointer' and 'pointer to a constant'? with example.

C++/CLI to write Driver? DDK?

Please post your C++ questions in the correct forum. This is the "C++/CLI" or Managed C++ forum.

Hi, C++/CLI and DDK compatible? can I write driver with C++/CLI? How about C#?

.NET lanuages, such as C#, VB.NET and C++/CLI, are not appropriate for driver development. You need to use C or C++.

I want to learn more of C++ but at a lower level(???),
a point where it is not so platform specific.
Where would look or what would I search for to
learn a cross-platform version of C++.

I enjoy C# and VB.NET is so so. And I have written many
apps. in VC++ but I want to learn it where I can knowledgible
write an app for Windows and turn around be able to do on other platforms.

Does anybody understand what I am trying to ask?

God Bless,
Jason

I am not perfect but I try to be better than those before me.
So those who come after me will be better than I am.

You want to learn standard C++. A good starting point is "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrop. Beyond that, a good point is to ask in the right forum, this one is for .NET C++, you want the Visual C++ forum.

Note, standard C++ has no GUI libraries at all, the moment you want a UI, you want platform specific ( probably MFC ). But, it's good even in an MFC app to use standard stuff like list, vector, ifstream, string, etc.

close a running program by c++ code.

8-Oct-07 1:10

A lot of people seem to miss the sticky at the top of the forum that explains it, and just not know what the CLI means. I'm only telling you because more people will see your posts in the right forums. This forum is a ghost town, I just come here to redirect people to the right forum, and not many people ask or answer C++/CLI questions.

Why the sudden flood of people not using a Microsoft compiler, but asking for help in the forum for Microsoft .NET extensions for C++ ?

I noticed that too! I bet the majority of the postings in this forum are non-C++/CLI. I guess they see the C++ of C++/CLI and think it pertains to non-Visual C++ issues. Anyway, they help our posting numbers!

The forum naming kind of sucks. 'Visual C++' implies the MS compiler, and implies a GUI. Lots of people don't know what CLI is, so they ignore it because they figure this is the place to ask non MFC or non MS compiler questions.

to check status of an application using a c++ program

6-Oct-07 4:43

I have also noticed bookstores don't know how to categorize C, C#, C++ and C++/CLI books. Some bookseller web sites just group some or all together in one category. I guess when people look at these language names, the symbols mysteriously disappearsand they all look the same. I believe this forum is the twilight zone of forums.

is it possible to check the status of an application(exe file) whether running or not using a c++ program, if it is running i need to close the application, how can i do that?

You should be posting your questions on the Visual C++/MFC board.
This board is for managed C++.

To find a running application you can use these APIs:
EnumProcesses(), OpenProcess(), GetModuleFileNameEx(), CloseHandle()

I'm not sure how you're going to gracefully force the other app
to close.

Ref Classes in Win32 dll

Hi everyone,

We have a VC++ RPC Server developed in VC8 . This server hosts a number of drivers developed as Win32 dlls...

We now have a new requirement, we need this RPC Server to host some dlls developed in c#. Since the RPC Server cannot host C# dlls, we have a developed a intrefacing module developed as a Win32 dll. This dll has a unmanaged section as well as a managed section (developed as ref classes ).... The managed classes will load the c# dlls and handle communication b/w the RPC Server and c# dlls...

In such as scenario, will garbage collection automatically occur????
