Hi,
i developed a C++/CLR App using Visual Studio 2008. The following are the settings
1. Developed using VS2008, Featurepack was installed but not used(april) (x86 machine Vista SP1)
2. /clr:pure, pure .NET, no native code.
3. Target framework set to 2.0
4. I used cliext STL/CLR in the project.
5. Release mode
When i try to distribute the compiled exe on a Windows Xp SP2 PC, i tried the following and the program would not run.
1. I copied the exe to target machine
2. Installed .NET framework 2.0
3. Ran the app, and an error occurs - "The application failed to start because of configuration incorrect..."
I then tried to install
4. Install VCredist 2008
5. Ran the app, the app launches but a new error occurs
"System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualC.STLCLR, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Microsoft.VisualC.STLCLR, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' ...."
I then installed .NET framework 3.5 and the app finally runs perfectly.
What i dont understand is,
1. Why do i need the VS2008 redist? I thought this was only for native code. I didnt use any native code in my assembly, in fact i compiled as /clr:pure!
Checking the .exe using dependecywalker shows that the exe only depends on MSCOREE.DLL, no MFC,CRT etc.
2. Why did the compilation proceeded even in VS2008 when i selected the target framework to be 2.0. I used STL/CLR in my app, why didnt the compiler tell me that STL/CLR is part of .NET 3.5 and produce an error during compilation?
3. I was expecting it to run properly with .NET framework 2.0 installed only, just like any other C# code targetted for this framework. I didnt expect vcredist and .net 3.5 required..
Can anyone clarify this? Anyone had this problem, or my approach was incorrect?
Thanks

Might it be the manifest file that is your issue ?

I have linked a C++ static library to a Windows Forms Application. The static library contains a singleton:
namespace Lorenzo
{ class VendingMachine
{ ...
I am trying to invoke a function in the singleton from inside a button’s click event with the following code:
VendingMachine::Instance()-> function();
I get the following linker errors.
error LNK2028: unresolved token (0A00000D) "public: static class Lorenzo::VendingMachine * __clrcall Lorenzo::VendingMachine::Instance(void)" (?Instance@VendingMachine@ Lorenzo@@$$FSMPAV12@XZ) referenced in function "private: void __clrcall VendingMachineControls::Form1::chcolateSelectnButon_Click(class System::Object ^,class System::EventArgs ^)" (?chcolateSelectnButon_Click@Form1@VendingMachineControls@@$$FA$AAMXP$AAVObject@System@@P$AAVEventArgs@4@@Z) Vending Machine Controls.obj
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: int __clrcall Lorenzo::VendingMachine::makeSelection(int)const " (?makeSelection@VendingMachine@ Lorenzo@@$$FQBMHH@Z) referenced in function "private: void __clrcall VendingMachineControls::Form1::chcolateSelectnButon_Click(class System::Object ^,class System::EventArgs ^)" (?chcolateSelectnButon_Click@Form1@VendingMachineControls@@$$FA$AAMXP$AAVObject@System@@P$AAVEventArgs@4@@Z) Vending Machine Controls.obj
The library works with a console application, so there is no problem with the library. I would be grateful if someone could tell me what the linker errors mean or at least give me a hint as to what might have caused them. I would be very grateful for all help.

Question, you are using C++ and the .NET platform to write software for a vending machine but you don't know what a link error is, is that correct? If so, why would you choose to use a language for your project that you don't know how to use? I find this confusing at best.

Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2005 C++/CLI and I need to create an installer for an application. The documentation I have says to create a new project and select "InstallShield 12 Projects" but there is no selection available. Does anyone have information on how to get an installer created for a completed application?
Thanks,
Buck

Hi Mike,
Since I e-mailed I discovered Microsoft documentation about 'Deployment in Visual Studio'. The docs are for Visual Studio 2003, 2005, and 2008. I printed off the docs and I am trying to implement the 'Windows Installer Deployment Tasks'. The first in the list is 'How to: Install Prerequisites in Windows Installer Deployment'. Of course when I follow the instructions of selecting the project in the Solution Explorer and selecting Properties and the in the Property Pages dialog box I expand the Configuration Properties node where I am supposed to select the build page and click the Prerequisites button. Only there is NO prerequisites button to click on (what a surprise). I'll play with the other 'How to:' items in the Windows Installer Deployment Tasks list to see what other functions don't appear to exist on my machine.
Thanks,
Buck

Have a look at nsis[^], I use it for my installations and it's pretty easy to use.

I have tried to use System::Drawing but failed.

Are you using C++/CLI to start with, or are you just trying to use this method without building a .NET project ?

I am using without building a .NET project.I have used MFC application project

well, if you don't make it a project that supports .NET, you obvioulsy can't use .NET libraries in it.

So you are saying there is no way to call managed code from unmanaged code
|
|
|
|

No, I'm saying you need to make your project managed, for it to call managed code. It can be mixed, it can still use MFC for some things.

Im attempting to transfer data between two programs using a Named Pipe server.
I am controling the server via the client; I can control when to start the server and when to wait for incomming connections.
My problem is the server pauses execution untill it gets a connection from the client, but since the program is paused I cant tell the client to attempt to connect to the server.
Is there a way to solve this catch-22 without using threads?
All suggestions welcomed!

No, I'd say threads are it.

That sounds like your catch-22 there....
How can the server tell the client anything if the client is not connected?
There needs to be some connection for the client to control the server, yes?

I have some openGL projects that use auxWireCylinder(...) which was provided in glaux.lib. This library has apparently been deprecated, and is no longer available in VS 2008. Does anyone know where/how I can get this functionality back (or what I might use in its place?).
Thanks,
Tom

I create a form Form1.h. Put a button in this form to open another form Simulation.h. In order to do this, i #include "Simulation.h", create a handler Simulation^ S1 = gcnew Simulation(); then S1->ShowDialog()
After that in Form1.h, this can be done.
btn1_click(...){ //button click event
this->btn1->Text = "ON";
S1->btn1->Text = "ON";
}
I want btn1 text in Form1 class change then btn1 text in Simulation class change also and vice versa
In Simulaion.h, i create a click event also:
btn1_click(...) {
this->btn1->Text = "OFF";
????
}
i want to use Form1's btn1 but here i cannot include Form1.h to Simulation.h so cannot create a handler of Form1 class. As it is OOP i try use this code Form1::btn1->Text but cannot also. in this case how can i use btn1 of class Form1 in class Simulation? Thank

Thank for your suggestion. I have read through article and try out the codes but i still cannot make it. In order to create a handler of other form ref class in c++/cli, i need to include the form header. By including Simulation.h in Form1.h i can easy create a handler and utilize ref class Simulation variables. But after that i want utilize Form1.h variables in Simulation.h cannot make it because i cannot inlcude Form1.h in Simulation.h. So i wanna find a way that i can use Simulation.h variable in Form1.h and can use Form1.h variable in Simulation.h at the same time.
The article is in c#, vb.net no need hearder can create the class object and just one way passing. I try the same code in c++/cli it not work.
Really hope that there is a way to do it. If not, i may just pass the value to databse to use by other which cost me some time.
