At my last place of employment, we put together a set of batch files that would run nightly to check files out of SourceSafe, compile each module, and then check files back in. All errors were captured in a log file that got looked at the next day.

Never used perforce. Have used Ant and I recommend it. That said check this out[^]

CruiseControl.net with Nant can probably solve your needs.

hmm, looks cool

does ant, cruise control work with C++
I've searched but still can't find any references to C++

CruiseControl main purpose is to get the latest version of the source from the version-control-system, and start building the solution using the latest source (Independent of the programing language used in the solution)

Nant is merely a "script" language to specify how the build proces should be performed. You can call the VC6 compiler from nant, and that way build the solution.

Hi,
We have VC++ application running on server which goes down sometime. Is there any inbuild tool which run on my desktop and do the monitoring of xyz.exe (running on server) from task manager.Please let me know if you know any such tool. Appreciate your time.

Thanks
Pankaj

Define 'monitoring'. I have many, many monitoring tools that monitor different aspects of process behaviour (RegMon, FileMon, ProcMon, TcpView, Wireshark, etc etc).

Just to monitor whether xyz.exe is running or stopped. Either by showing status as green when exe is running and Red when exe stop on client desktop.

Task manager?

Task Manager display on server where exe run however I need something show on my desktop.

In that case, I'd suggest pslist[^], as it can list the processes running on a remote computer. It's free, it's sanctioned by Microsoft and (like all the other SysInternals tools) it gets the job done!

How to use loadlibrary function

19-Mar-09 1:52

How about using EnumProcesses to check if your exe is listed in the process names?

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Like this:

HINSTANCE hInst;
// Get the dll module handle
 hInst= LoadLibrary("SayItsMyLib");

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

~~Did you register your dll? using the regsvr32 command~~
regsvr32 is used in for COM dll's

You only register COM DLLs. Normal, non-COM DLLs don't need to be registered.

Will your DLL be used by other programs/processes or only by one application? If only by your own app, then i'd say, keep it next to your executable. Otherwise put it into the system directory, but avoid hardcoding paths, don't assume for example that the system directory is in c:\windows\system32, because what if the user installs his Os on -let's say- drive E, then the system folder should sit in e:\windows\system32.
You usually only need to register a DLL if it needs to do things like add registry entries or such before it can be used, so basicly, if your DLL needs registering or not depends on your DLL.
