How to Configure Windows Update

Does the database and the DSN exist?

I used this code but I am getting errors.

And what would those errors be?

sDsn.Format("ODBC;DRIVER={%s};DSN='MyDsnName';DBQ=%s",sDriver,sFile);

It looks like you are trying to create both a DSN and a DSN-less connection. Why?

recset.Open(CRecordset::forwardOnly,sql,CRecordset::dynaset);

What is the value of sql?

You mean by using the Control Panel applet:

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL wuaucpl.cpl

Or something else?

Wuauclt.exe operates on the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update

Could it be that no updates are available?

Class not visible

I am a newbie to vc++. I did some C 15 years ago... but, normally, I'm a vb.net guy. However, my current job is VC++ and my boss wants me to place a class inside a .h and .cpp file that already has an existing class. I did this fine but when trying to define an instance of this class from another class, it seems invisible even though I have included the .h file.

Here's my code:

file1.h

class Class1
{
// definitions here
};

class Class2
{
// definitions here
};

File1.cpp:

#include "file1.h"

Class1::SomeFunction()
{
}

Class2::AnotherFunction()
{
}

File 2.h

#include "File1.h"

class Class3
{
Class2 cClass2; // not visible.
};

Any ideas?

Are you using namespaces in file1.h ?

What extactly do you mean by 'not visible' ?
Are there some compiler errors ?

No, no namespaces. Boss doesn;t want to use namespaces.

Getting undefined class error when compiling on the line where I am insantiating a new class variable:

Class2 cClass2;

are you sure you're not having trouble with the class name ??

be careful, C/C++ is case sensitive (unlike VB/VB.NET)...

Yes, I'm sure.

Maybe there is a conflict between some #define directives

#ifndef DONT_INCLUDE_TWICE
#define DONT_INCLUDE_TWICE

class Class1
{

};

#endif


#ifndef DONT_INCLUDE_TWICE
#define DONT_INCLUDE_TWICE

class Class2
{

};

#endif

If DONT_INCLUDE_TWICE is already defined, the definition of Class2 will be skipped.

Maybe you can post your header files here...

but if that was the problem, he would have an error such as "Class already defined"...
but the compiler says that the class is NOT defined, even with the header include...

Then don't tell him/her that you can't get away from using the global namespace!

Wish I could. He wants me to do it the way he tells me to do it.

Would I have to include the .NET framework if I use namespaces?

No. Namespaces have nothing to do with the .NET framework. It's just the name of a declarative region in your code. All programs use (or have use of) the global namespace. If you use STL, you will see references to the std namespace.

I just put your three files into an existing project and it compiled fine. The problem must lie with code that has not been shown.
