Thank for your answer,
So I tried to create 2 smart device projects in MFC and WTL , but I can find /clr option for compiler in project Setting, it is normal?

PS: I use VS2005 Professional Edition

Yes It is. this is normal. it means that u can use >net assemblies as well.

Which project template and project type u selected ?

vassilux@20-Jun-06 20:47

20-Jun-06 20:47

It is Visual C++ /Smart Device /MFC Smart Device Application and WTL ATL/WTL Application Wizard for Windows CE.
?

vassilux@20-Jun-06 20:53

20-Jun-06 20:53

So I think C++/CLI is not supported for Smart Device, I can't find any information about this possibility

It looks like the case. But under C# category, VS 2005 supports a few Device project templates. I can't figure out why there is no C+/CLI support for Device development. Sigh | :sigh:

I got an answer from Microsoft about C++/CLI for Smart Device :
There are no plans for C++/CLI on devices. Native C/C++ plus P/Invoke/COM can be used to interop with legacy C/C++ code.

I'm trying to create a .dll using ATL, which I want use in C#.

Can anybody please guide me to create a simple method / function which takes string in input parameters and returns the same(string)..

I tried a lot but always faced problem of returing string back to calling function in C#.

I did the same with C++ class library successfully but when it comes to ATL its not the same.

As I'm using other SDK API's in creation of .dll and I can't go with Class Library its having problem with "CLR and MTd". Which can't go together. Finally I decided to stick to ATL.

Now please guide me to create the methods which I can use in C# to get the string value.

Stack problem with setting callback in native code.

19-Jun-06 21:58

Use the below signature for the COM method. Then use RCW to call this method from .Net
[id(1)] HRESULT ReturnString([in,out] BSTR stringValue);

I have a 3th party dll writen in C. I have no problem calling most functions in the dll from the managed code. But there is a function that take a function pointer for setting a callback function that I am having problems with.
I have the following code:

First in a wrapper class

[DllImport("w32dll.dll")]
static void dllSetCallFp( void (*aFp)(void*) );

Then in seperate class.

delegate void funDelegate(void*);
typedef void (__cdecl *FUNPT)(void*);
funDelegate ^ fp  = gcnew funDelegate(MFun);
pin_ptr<funDelegate^> pp = &fp;
IntPtr ip = Marshal::GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(fp);
FUNPT cb  = static_cast<FUNPT>(ip.ToPointer());

Wrapper::dllSetCallFp(cb);

MFun is just a test function.

void Client::MFun(void* pV)
{
	int i = 9;
}

The problem is I can debug into the calling of MFun but when I return I get the following errors
Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention.
Then
'FatalExecutionEngineError'

Can anyone help me with this?
-Thanks

Just a thought. Is it possible to use a function pointer directly, instead of marshalling from a delegate?

Multidimension arrays

Multidimension arrays

Read dozens of examples given on website how to do an single array with
the System::Array etc. But I can't get the hang of it how to use it properly.
I keep getting error messages when I hit the build button.

For example I want a simple 2 dimension array of the integer type.
in the old code it was:
int board[16][16];
board[3][3] = 5;

if i try to use the managed version:
array<int^,2>^ m_Board = gcnew array<int^,2>(16,16);
for (int row = 0; row < 16;row++)
{
for (int col = 0; col < 16;col++)
{
m_Board[row][col] = 0;
}
}

Confused | :confused:

I get error message on my screen.

Also I can't find anything about freeing the memory in the articles.
Is it neccessary if you use it in a class.
How do I free it if it's necessary?
Can I change the size of the area dynamically?

That should be array<int,2> not array<int^,2> since you want the array to contain ints.

DataGrid/DataGridView within a MFC dialog

I'm having a problem using the DataGrid/DataGridView within a MFC dialog (using the CWinFormsControl< > template).

I create a DataSet from a Xml file and then set it to the DataSource. I also set the DataMember to the appropriate table name, but nothing is displayed in the grid view. I tried other various approaches, but nothing seems to work.

I have no problem setting this up in WinForms - it won't work in MFC. I know the data's there because I can actually step right into it from the DataGrid object (debugger) - it just won't display - the ColumnCount is still 0.

What's the problem? Has anyone else experienced this?

PlayerBalance is a String Data Type
Bet is a Int32 Data Type

I use this Conversation method
Bet = System::Int32::Parse(PlayerBalance); //Its OK

But This code not work; //error C2865: '<' : illegal comparison for handle type
if(Bet < 200)
{
MessageBox:Show("OK");
}

Hi,

Int32 is a value class, you probably used ^ there.

Int32 Bet; // should be fine

Hello,

if you mean with "Label" a System::Windows::Forms::Label control
then you could use this snippet:

// an array of 10 Labels
array<Label^> myLabelArray = gcnew array<Label^>(10);
