I need to use IMSAdminBase in order to programatically administrate IIS. Unfortunately i get unresolved external symbol on linking phase.
Do you know what is the appropriate library file to be used?

What is the unresolved external?

According to the docs, IMSAdminBase only requires

#include "iadmw.h"
and
#include "iiscnfg.h"

As it is a COM interface, I wouldn't expect there to be a static library to link against.

It's a MFC dialog-based application in DEBUG mode. I have included the headers in stdafx.h.

Try adding

#define INITGUID

before the #includes.

I did. No effect.

I have used the informations from MSDN - Enumerating Keys and Data[^] (hope the link is ok) where something is obviously missing...

Remove the includes from stdafx.h and place them in stdafx.cpp instead.

Not a chance. It gives me compile errors and among them i've noticed:

C:\temp\t\iis\iisDlg.cpp(230) : error C2065: 'CLSID_MSAdminBase' : undeclared identifier
C:\temp\t\iis\iisDlg.cpp(231) : error C2065: 'IID_IMSAdminBase' : undeclared identifier

Solving these problems is turning me back to the linking errors Dead | X|

VC++ Template problem

VC++ 6.0 has a problem with templates I'm told. what is it?

Obseve everything, remember more...

Christian Graus4-Dec-02 23:31

It does not support partial template specialisation, which in particular, means you cannot do the sort of template metaprogramming which has become trendy since the 'Modern C++ Design' book came out. While it is a pain, ( and still not fixed in VC7, yet ), it really doesn't stop 95% of the dev work likely to happen using templates.

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

I ask because with the free compiler DEV-C++ I had a very very basic swap function, and the code would not compile under VC++ when copied in to it.

Shouldn't be a proble. The best approach would be to post the code, so we can comment. Remember to tick the box under this main edit box that says 'display this message as-is (no HTML)', or anything between <> will be lost.

lol sorry I meant I had the code - ages ago.

oh! it's still on my wall...

template<typename x>
int Temp1(X &A, X &B)
{
X Var;
Var = A + B;
return Var;
}

How to put my working application's icon in the notification area?

5-Dec-02 7:25

Oh, I thought you were trying to do a swap. This is an add, and I'm not sure it has any value over simply adding without the function call. It will not compile if the type in question does not have an operator +. Because your return type is 'int' it also will not compile unless the template argument is a number, and it will give warnings because it will strip floating point numbers down to an int.

Swap would look like this ( except you'd add the template arguments being stripped by the site because neither of us checked 'show message as-is' )

template
void Temp1(X &A, X &B)
{
X Var;
Var = A;
B = A;
A = Var;
}

Frame Control

I was interested in using the "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Frame Control" but this control can't be used outside of VB (If you try it, the "GetObject" method gives you an useless dispatch)so anybody has a similar control or knows how to make it?

Thanks in advance Confused | :confused:

I need help - how to put my working application's icon in the taskbar notification area (the system tray) instead of its default position in the taskbar when minimized? Shall I change some registry key or…?

There are some samples like:
http://www.codeguru.com/shell/systemtray.shtml

If aplication's window is visible and you don't want
to see it in a bar next to Start button, you have to
hide its parent window (if here is any).
Anyway if you need just put icon to system tray
you can find inspiration in sample above.

Visual C++ 7 and Windows'98

Please tell me is it possible to build applications under Visual C++ 7.0 and to work under Windows 98. I tried in Property Pages/Configuration Properties/Linker to set optimization for Windows 98 but no result! What shall I change?

You don't even need to enable optimizations for Windows 98 to run programs built with VC7 on 98.

Try to figure out what bugs in your code are causing the program not to work with 98.

I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

hello @all,

i connected my mfc program and an access database with ODBC.

<br />
CDatabase db;<br />
db.Open(_T( "MyDatabase" ), FALSE,<br />
FALSE, _T( "ODBC"));

the ODBC driver of my database is called 'MyDatabase'. but when i use this code, the database is not selected. i must select it myself!
what must i change to select my odbc driver from the program (i have to do nothing, after i start the program)?

thanks
mfc
