Before replying I did look at Nant and pSake. These are complex answers to my simple need. I want to eliminate the my use and my user's interactions with commandline and batch file code. I understand that I still want to use CMD to do my work but now I do not have to physically go thru and...

I'm trying to eliminate our dependence on batch files for compiling our many projects. I am forced to use a huge batch file to create our installation and am just tired of all my co-workers' questions about how to compile certain projects. So I'm trying to create an application in C# that will...

If you are running an actual installation package then you should have it uninstall the DLL (which is mainly physical and reference removal) before installing the new one. This stays in line with current expected procedure... But if you are just replacing the DLL then unregister the old one...

And like an idiot I just realized that he's not using "phrase" in the concatenation method so my post is irrelevant.

the_phrase's parameters tell the compiler that the phrase is constant. The variable "phrase" cannot be modified in any case. The value of phrase and the address it points to cannot be modified if declared as "const char* const phrase". Right off the bat that seemed wrong to me and I did a...

I have created a new section of the already cramped status bar to display member information of a specific class. I am trying to do this be means of a PostMessage() but my application crashes when I run it in Release (but not in Debug). Here are the custom messages (from defines.h): #define...

...I'm speechless... That is truly hilarious!

Oh God you should see the code I work on: the code has had at least 4 different code standards that have been used over the past decade... It's like they never heard of nesting or keeping things aligned so it can be readable... Comments are the worst... Variable names do not match their...

This site should explain what you want (it sounds similar if not do right exactly what ur looking for): http://blog.kalmbach-software.de/2009/05/27/deployment-of-vc2008-apps-without-installing-anything/ I hope ur work doesn't block this site. If I'm wrong let me know because I think I found...

Feed all of your port info into an array: //Declare 2d array int iPortArray[47][5];//an array of 47 (0 to 47) arrays that correspond to the number of ports //Most likely if you want to keep all the information about a port use a CString instead of an int // Then refer to port '0' as...

Why not configure separately? Also why not feed everything into an [string] array? Default each node to -1 (as an example) and then if there is a value then there you go... you can read it in as what you are already doing (separated by commas) but then place them into a separate class...

Um... having been laid off and waiting just over 3 months before being hired it is frustrating. Granted I had less exp then fizzak so chances are that fizzak would be a better candidate for some of things I applied for than me. If you are making unemployment and it pays your bills than just...

The fact that you are a contractor might be the actual issue. The ones who 'took over' your proj. are they contractors also or are they normal employees of the company? I've seen times when towards the end of a project managers tend to try and shift their people onto then so they become...

Ummm... a USB business card is actually a good and novel idea which the GRAPHIC DESIGN community has made theirs. Chriscboy you should do some research on how graphic designers are designing theirs. Every year (I think) there are a few magazines for graphic designers and a few art magazines...

I don't know if this will help but there is a little PDF (link: http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/~ahazel/EXCEL_C++.pdf) that on page 56 explains a way to create a vc++ add-in for Excel. I hope this helps.
