Hello,
How are you knowing how many bytes are to be read? I've seen most people throw some random and huge number at it. You might want to try IOCtl with FIONREAD this if you aren't doing it already there:
DWORD dwHowMuch = 0;
IOCtl(FIONREAD, &dwHowMuch);
Receive(m_szBuffer.GetBuffer(dwHowMuch), );
szBuffer.ReleaseBuffer(-1);
Note that I'm letting CString do the gruesome stuff of memory allocation and deallocation for me (because CString already has a GetBuffer() method, and I can exploit that here). I'm not proposing this as an excellent solution, but it works and you will be free of any hand-crafted memory management that you might want to implement. I, for once, believe that CString will manage the memory much better than we do (OK, we can write something better, but what the heck... OOP is about reusability and what GetBuffer() has to offer has been good enough for me).
Also note that passing a number to CString::GetBuffer() will dynamically 'adjust' the string buffer to hold at least "that much" bytes that was passed to it (mind you this does not include the terminating zero character, but here, we aren't dealing with a string anyways). This will ensure you won't run out of memory and if the previously allocated memory was good enough to hold the data to be currently received, no harm is done!
I assumed that you're using MFC, but if you are not, I see your query is already answered. Also, note that you don't 'need' MFC as such if you want to just use CString.

What about documentation [^]?
You may also check out the Rajesh's gold list of MFC books [^].

There is a code line.
File.WriteAllBytes("c:\image.raw", abc.rawdata);
It was composed by Visual Basic.
But I don't know how to change the code by Visual C++.
In the start,
How should I include library or header file??
|
|
|
|

You could use the basic file APIs to accomplish this.
Look at CreateFile[^], WriteFile[^], CloseHandle[^].
You only need to include Windows.h.
You could also use the MFC CFile[^] class.

This is what WriteAllBytes is doing.
Creates a new file, writes the specified byte array to the file, and then closes the file. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten.
You can implement similar functionality using the CFile/CStdioFile or some other MFC class that deals with file reading/writing.
You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Hi,
Please let me know the difference b/w debug and release dll"s...

You probably want to know the differences between debug and release builds. Here's a classic article[^] on the subject.
Hope that helps.

Hi all
Does anyone know a better Win32 API for pinging ?
regards
Thang
|
|
|
|
|
PING by itself is not a Windows API.
It is an executable called PING.EXE.
It internally uses ICMP APIs like IcmpSendEcho[^] or Icmp6SendEcho2[^].
The functions are declared in the header file Icmpapi.h.

In the past I've worked on large teams and the build system we had in place would auto-increment the build number. At the moment I'm working on my own shareware project (written in C++, using VS2005) and I'd like to have Visual Studio auto-increment the build number for me (bonus points if it only increments the release version).
I started to do some digging and I've read that Visual Studio has this feature with .NET projects, but I haven't read anywhere about this being available in C++ projects, so my questions are:
* Does this exist for C++ project?
* If so, what are the steps needed?
* If not, are there any suggested tools or add-ins? What do some of the developers here use?
Thanks,
Jeff

If you don't insist on an "index" of builds you could use the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros which give you the build date-time combined with some pre or maybe post build step that deletes the OBJ file or maybe updates the file time to make sure the file you put the creation of a build number into will get built every time (you can make the post or pre build step only in your release target if that suits you).

Thanks, but I'm looking for an incremental increase in the build number.

Yes, I already had searched but when I found lots of articles where a macro was written, I noticed that each article had lots comments about bugs, and instead of weeding through the umpteen articles I decided to post my question here to this forum.
So, back to original question, what do people here use?
(if you use one of the macros from one of the articles then please recommend it)
And does Visual Studio have an auto-increment feature available to C++ like managed projects do?
Thanks,
Jeff

Nah, I am old fashion and I manually change my build numbers.

No, unfortunately Visual Studio C++ users do not get those überlegen modern features.
This Microsoft Help and Support article has a sample build increment, I have never tried it.

Good Luck,
