Maybe. Anyway, strictly speaking, the obstacles that are hurting the OP are functions of an application programming interface (Win32 API): he isn't dealing with a C language dialect.

Again, CByteArray members GetData & GetSize (togheter with std::string constructor) do the trick, for instance:
CByteArray arr;
arr.Add(0xff);
arr.Add(0x00);
arr.Add(0x10);
arr.Add(0x41);
std::string str((char*) arr.GetData(), arr.GetSize());

Are you using Visual Studio 2005 or 2008?
You may notice that the Visual Studio puts your exe in a folder called "debug" at the same level as your project folder.
The "debug" folder that's inside your project folder holds only the obj files, and the exe does not run from there.
You have to make sure that you put the DLL into the same folder where the exe file is created.
Solution Folder<br />
|<br />
|---Project Folder<br />
| |<br />
| |-Debug<br />
|<br />
|---Debug <= Put dll here<br />
|
|
|
|
|
I'm using Visual Studio 2008.
I had been careful to paste the DLL in the folder with the .exe file... But it still doesn't work...
It is the first time I tried to do a DLL, it is possible I forgot something, or maybe I'm doing something wrong... 
|
|
|
|
|
Does your DllMain() function return TRUE?
A Dll will only load if its DllMain() function returns TRUE.
|
|
|
|
|
I think my DLL code is correct, because I used the DLL in a c# project and it loaded and worked just fine.
My problem is to load in a c++ project.
I read that if we want to use a DLL without de lib file, we must paste de DLL file in the debug project folder (and I did it, because I want it to work without the code files).
Then I used
HINSTANCE myDll = LoadLibrary((LPCWSTR)"Testing.dll");
if(myDll)
Console::WriteLine("DLL loaded \n");
else
Console::WriteLine("DLL failed to load \n");
it always "DLL failed to load ", it doesn't return any error.
Did I forgot something, or am I doing something wrong? (I'm starting with c++, so possible I'm making some mistake).
Thanks.

Change your code so that it reads as follows:
HINSTANCE myDll = LoadLibrary((LPCWSTR)"Testing.dll");
DWORD Error = GetLastError();
if (myDll)
Console::Writeline("Dll Loaded");
else
Console::Writeline("Dll Not Loaded");
Put a breakpoint at the line that says "Not Loaded."
When the program breaks, inspect the value of the variable Error.
That will be the Windows error code for what went wrong. Post the Error code here, and maybe we can help you figure it out.

Hi.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I did what you suggested and I got error 126 (unsigned int).
I made a litle search to understand error 126 and its causes...and I found out that I can't cast char* to LPCWSTR, and the solution is just "Use Multi-Byte Character Set" within the projects properties. And it works just fine.
Best regards,
Carla

Hi,
How do i convert a const string& to CByteArray ?
I have to convert the string to CByteArray and pass the member functions GetData() and GetSize() to a method as parameters
Is it possible or is there an alternative way of converting string to CByteArray.
An example would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Mayur M

Try (I didn't test it...)
CString str = _T("Hi");
CByteArray arr;
int iSize = (str.GetLength()+1) * sizeof(TCHAR)
const BYTE * pByte = (const BYTE *) (LPCTSTR) str;
for (i = 0; i < iSize; i++)
{
arr.Add(pByte[i]);
}

Thanks for your reply.
The code snippet works fine. But the snippet is for convertion of CString to CByteArray. But i'm looking for a const string conversion to CByteArray.
Even if i use the CString conversion to CByteArray, is there any inbuilt methods rather than using the for loop.

Are you talking about std::string?

Yes, you may use CByteArray methods SetSize and Getdata to copy the string content into the array buffer.
CString str = _T("Hi");
CByteArray arr;
int iSize = (str.GetLength()+1) * sizeof(TCHAR)
arr.SetSize(iSize);
const BYTE * pByte = (const BYTE *) (LPCTSTR) str;
CopyMemory( arr.GetData(), pByte, iSize);
As usual, the test is up to you.

Ya! i'm talking about converting from std::string to CByteArray.
If there is no solution then i might have to go to CString. (Last option)
|
|
|
|
|
std::string str("Hi");
int iLen = str.length();
CByteArray arr;
arr.SetSize(iLen);
CopyMemory( arr.GetData(), str.c_str(), iLen);
Please note, the above code is not adding the null terminator at the tail of the array.

How about the CByteArray to std:string?
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
I'm able to convert const string& to CByteArray using the
memcpy(byteArr.GetData(), source.c_str(), source.length());
Does converting back the CByteArray to const string& work the same way using memcpy?
Regards,
Mayur M

char str[] = "abcdef";
int iSize = strlen(str);
BYTE * pByte = (BYTE *) str;
CByteArray arr;
for (int i = 0; i < iSize; i++)
{
arr.Add(pByte[i]);
}
the loop is must use.

The calcost function needs some change as it is the source of error.Somebody help.

Quite the opposite, actually. You can't post a big wad of code on some Internet forum and ask someone to help you figure it out. I guess you can, but then you haven't been helped. At a minimum, you need to isolate the problem down to a small handful of statements (the actual number varies, but if it's more than a dozen, that's likely too many). Everything else is irrelevant and only acts as a hinderance.
Instead of trying to work through 200 lines of code, why not start with a smaller project, get it working, and then add to it until the problem shows itself?
This forum is frequented by a lot of sharp people that will gladly help you, but they aren't going to do it for you. You might look real closely at Package::setWt() and Package::setShip().
