I don't have the ability to make an MFC program, but I will definately let Microsoft support know.
Thanks for your help.
At least now I don't feel stupid!

When I try to reference an exe file it says it doesn't allow exe or com to be referenced, but it's a .NET exe... so there must be some way to reference it..
Anyone knows how to do that in visual studio 2003?

Why must there be?
A technique that is used a lot where I work is to have an EXE project that is just a bootstrap to launch code in DLLs (in other words there is only one class - with a main method). That way if anything needs to be referenced it can be.

There must be because it's a dll that has a Main method which is defined as an entry method for the application...
Your suggestion doesn't look appealing to me.. I still hope there is some better workaround.
But thanx anyway.

Library .DLL's have a DllMain method, not a Main. Did you compile this thing as a Console Application??
Colin's suggestion is the best workaround. Doing the "rename .EXE and modify the project file" thing works, but is a total hack.
If the code in the .EXE is going to be shared, do the right thing and put it where it belongs, in a library .DLL!

I think it's a kind of a bug in visual studio and not a hack that I should apply.
If I can reference the exe from the commandline, why not to allow me doing the same from visual studio which is only an IDE not more than that...

It's no bug. It's by design. It's trying to force you to follow correct methods and techniques.
Library code and shared objects belong in LIBRARIES, not .EXEs. If you have an object that is shared between modules, it goes in a library. Why is this so hard to understand?
Go ahead and do the "rename .EXE" thing. It just makes you application harder to maintain, a bitch to reuse code, and more difficult to exapand upon.

I think you can really argue whether this is a bug or not.
One application I would have found the possiblity to reference a .NET exe quite convenient was when I tried to make a working application controllable via remoting.
I wanted a quick way to tell my "remote control application" which members my application has, so this was the direct way.
Meanwhile I've dropped the whole idea, but nevertheless I think this to be a perfectly valid example for wanting to reference an exe from a different project.
Any other, better ideas are welcome, though.

You can't set a reference to an .EXE, only .DLL's and other libraries. An .EXE is NOT a library. Well, unless it's an old ActiveX server anyway...

It's perfectly possible using the command line compiler, only Visual Studio doesn't allow it. Workaround: rename the file to .dll, add it as reference, rename it back, modify the project file in Notepad.

I was wondering how to find the source code line / filename (__LINE__/__FILE__ equivalent) when using the Compact Framework, since the System.Diagnostics.StackTrace class is not supported? Goal is to support logging of location of errors in release as well as debug. Has anyone found a technique using Trace, perhaps?

I see the .NET Framework have GraphicsPath class to do this but in .NET Compact Framework don't have it. How can i hit the lines? Thanks

First, make an enumeration as follows:
enum Positions
{
Administration = 0;
Management = 1;
Junior = 2;
}
You can then use this to store the current value ie
Positions myPositions = Positions.Administration;
when the function is called you want to check the input (A, M, or J) and then statically handle it, so
if (a) myPositions = Positions.Adminstration
etc
Hope this helps

Write a simple FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server and client using the TCP socket libraries on
Unix. This simple FTP application only implements the command “GET” to retrieve a file and
the command “LIST” to request a list of all the files the server offers. The example client and
server codes studied in class show how to use command line parameters and the use of the
socket libraries for a simple stateful server that returns a message to the client that tells the
number of times it has been accessed. The specifications for your client and server are as
follows:
===========================================
Client specification:
Your client should accept as parameters from the command line the name of the host on which
the server runs and the corresponding port number. Both arguments are optional. If no host
name is specified, the client uses "localhost"; if no protocol port is specified, the client uses a
default one given by PROTOPORT.
The client should do the following:
· Prompt the user to enter one of the following two commands:
o GET filename to retrieve the given file
o LIST to get a list of all files the server offers
· Connect to the server and request service by sending the user’s request.
· The client should then simply display the information sent back by the server on the screen.
· The requested file should be written into a file of the same name. If the file already exists, prompt the user to enter a new name.
· Close connection with server when done.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Server specification:
The server takes a single commandline argument that specifies the port number the server is
using, i.e. server 5555 . If no protocol port is specified, the client uses a default one given by
PROTOPORT. Have the server export a set of files from the computer on which it runs (i.e.
make them availabla for download). The server should:
· Read the request message from the client.
· Process the request (either GET or LIST):
o If the request is GET filename, then retrieve the file and send it to the
client.
o If the request is LIST, then get the list of all files available for download.
· On errors, send an error message back to the client such as:
o Not a command or command not implemented
o File does not exist
o Incorrect command format

I don't understand the problem. You have to build a control. You put in a numUpDown and a label for the number if you don't want to have a textbox. Then catch the KeyEvents. If a number is typed change the value. You might have to catch the Events from the Form and then change your controlvalue.
Or did I missunderstood your question?
Greetings,
Ingo
