I've been reading about this recently in Chris Sells book, "Windows Forms Programming in C#". He has a 30 page chapter on the subject in which he describes in detail how to embed resources into a .NET Framework executable.
The process is a little different in C++, and. in all probability, depends on which version Visual Studio .NET you are using.
If you haven't tried it already, what happens when you open the compiled executable in Ildasm.exe? The manifest should show your resources and the associated namespaces. This is from Chris's book: "To check that a file has been embedded properly into your project's output assembly, you can use the .NET Framework SDK tool ildasm.exe. This tool shows all embedded resources in the Manifest view of your assembly".
Depending on the method that you used to embed the resource, he goes on to describe the process that Visual Studio .NET uses to assign the default namespace and the actual path to the resource. He also points out that building your project causes the .resx data to be embedded as nested resources, which are resources grouped into a named container. He then goes on to describe several methods for loading these resources.
You don't say in your post, but, how are you attempting to access these resources?

Thanks for the pointer. I think it was to do with the project configuration. I went through it and changed it where required and it seems to be ok (for now...). I had to change the resource output file names in configuration. I now know to use the ildasm.exe to see if they are being embedded correctly.
Thanks again.
Oh and I was using the ResourceManager class to access them.

DirectShow has a number of APIs desined specifically for this purpose.
You'll find that it's not really a simple, intuitive process, though.
If you can locate the SDK tools that come with the DirectX SDK, there should be one known as: GraphEdit.exe
Using DirectShow[^]

How does one go about playing an audio file in C++? Is there any way to use mp3's?

what about more advanced features? e.g. how do you continuously play a file? I found mciSendCommand(), but cannot work out the device id (i am not a multimedia programmer thus not familiar with these stuff  )
with wav file functions, you can ask the system to play the sound in a loop...
|
|
|
|
|
If you just want to play a simple wav file, try ::PlaySound(...). very simple
include file:
<mmsystem.h>

I was just playing around with the VC++ Express, mixing up template code and managed classes. I wasn't able to figure out how to write a template class (managed or unmanaged) that can work with both managed and unmanaged classes. Is it even possible?
There are obvious syntactic differences, for eg, it's T * for unmanaged and T ^ for managed classes.. I tried specializing the template for managed classes, but then couldn't figure out how.

managed C++ probably uses the .NET framework for templates. and they can't be specialised.

But aren't templates compile time thingies? I guess they only need to be supported by the compiler and no runtime support is required. Generics, yes, but templates, I don't think so.
What I wanted to do is to write a template class that can take both managed and unmanaged types as type parameters. Is there any other way it can be done?

You'll need partial template specialization for this to work. Ie:
#include <vcclr.h>
using namespace System;
template <typename T> class TestClass
{
T member;
public:
TestClass (T mem) : member (mem){}
};
template <typename T> class TestClass<T^>
{
gcroot<T^> member;
public:
TestClass (T^ mem) : member (mem){}
};
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
TestClass<String^> tc(gcnew System::String(L"something")); //managed
TestClass<int> tn(1); //native
return 0;
}

Oooh ok. I did try partial specialization, but I didn't get the syntax for specializing for managed classes (T^). I guess the syntax is the same as for specializing for T*.
Thanks a lot.

Dear fellow CPians,
I am perplexed as to what's the fuss about a trivial phrase like 'Initialisation is Resource Acquisition'. I would be grateful if some kind enlightened soul could shed some light on it. What does it signify?

Guys thanks a lot for the pointers. Its not a big deal after all, only the obvious restated as jargon.

I'm using visual C++ .NET, and I'd like to make an ActiveX control for on a website, but I fail to find how to do it.. Sure you have many sites on how to us vb.NET and C# into a control for a website (such as, say; windows update), but I can't find a *manual* that says how to do it in vc++ .NET.
I know it's something with making an assembly, but.. that's all i have now.. an empry assembly..
Any help is much appreciated,
Michael

It's actually alot easier than you would suspect.
There is a utility that is included with the .NET Framework SDK, called:
AxImp.exe
This converts your ActiveX control into a .NET assembly.

Sounds pretty simple, you just need a nested loop.
Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

If both arrays are same size, then you can just put them into a
for(i=0;i<length;i++)
snprintf(newarray, maxlen, "%s/%s", oldarray[0][i], oldarray[1][i]);
Otherwise, as Christian says, a nested loop.

Hi all,
I've got an application where a window (parent) opens a child window. How do I ensure that only one of these windows (child) can be open at any time????
Thanks all
