I'm working on a project that involves converting an application developed 10 years ago using VC++ 4.2 running on Windows NT 3.51 to VC++ 2005 running on Windows XP. Suffice it to say this has been a nightmare. The conversion "wizard" seems to leave most of the work undone. After much travail, I've finally winnowed the errors down to one. I've detailed it here (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3188024&SiteID=1&mode=1[^]) on the MSDN C++ forum. Thus far I've gotten no satisfactory answer.
It seems to me that there should be some other people who have had to convert old Microsoft C++ applications developed with 4.2 to C++ 2005 and have encountered similar problems. I assume this is probably some weird Microsoft quirk that can be easily solved by someone in the know. Since this is idiomatic and has nothing to do with logic or programming in any direct way, it requires someone who really knows all of the in's and out's of Visual Studio.
This project is for the U.S. Navy and is high priority so any help will be greatly appreciated.

From what I understand, it's a problem with conflicting resource IDs.
use this : http://www.riverblade.co.uk/products/resorg/[^] (from our own Anna-Jayne) to try to see what can be (semi-)automatically done to your resources.
If that does not work, check the resource "includes" to see if there's no unwanted include directive there.
If that does not work either, do it manually, check each resources, each values.
Good luck.

I downloaded/installed the suggested Riverblade tool and ran. It found quite a few potential conflicts which I fixed.
Unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem. I still get the CVT1100 error. And, when I change the /TLBID value from 1 (suggested by Microsoft help) the error stays the same: "type ICON, name: 1". In other words, no matter what value I insert (I tried 2, 1000, and 39000) I still get name: 1.
As for "no unwanted include directive", I assume you mean an extraneous include file? If not, what do you mean? I did remove what I determined was dead code that caused a compiler error because it had 3 ID's that were not defined anywhere. Apparently, the 4.2 compiler didn't flag this dead code because it was smart enough to determine that it was, in fact, dead and didn't generate any related object. Ergo, there was no reason to flag the error. VC++ 2005 is much less forgiving. Other than that, I haven't found any obvious dead code.

Makes a change for it being for somebodies homework. I also think it's spelt:
URGENTZ!!!!
I have plenty of resource conflicts if I'm not careful in my own code. When I get them, I just search for the define name, or the number itself and just change it. That doesn't really require much VS knowledge.
Finding out that I'm loading a dialog box with the same resource number in another DLL, *that's* a pain. Fixing it is trivial.
I'd second the pointer to Anna-Jayne's resource organiser[*] though.

[*] She's british, so I'm using the correct spelling.

You have a problem finding out what a "build rule" is and search them in ".rule"-files?  
Whatever you may do for tha Navy, please keep it in the US waters, as not to accidentially hitting me with it.
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

hello
i want to read sequenece numbers from the packets that are in a dump file. problem is that i hav read the header into byte array. and want to convert the sequence numbers into integer.
my code is
unsigned char buff[2]; buff[0]=header[22]; buff[1]=header[23];
unsigned int t; n=(buff[0]<<24)|(buff[1]<<16);
header is byte array containing header. byet 22 and 23 is sequqnce number and i want to convert it into int. but this code is not working properly.
can anybody help me.

1/ Read on the posting guidlines - particularly the pre tag. It marks out what is code, and what is text.
2/ You declare t, then don't use it.
3/ You use n, but don;t declare it. Without knowing things like type, we can;t help you much.
3/ buff [0] is a uchar. (buf [0] << 24) is also a uchar - and only has room for 8 bits, and will therefore end up as 0.
4/ Lastly, some help:
DWORD dwResult = 0;
dwResult |= header [22];
dwResult <<8;
dwResult |= header [23;
dwResult <<= 16;
Enjoy,
Iain.

Are you sure he wants the original number times 65536?

No - but he did do a shift by 24 bits on one byte, and 16 bits on another. Given that I was guessing at his code (ie, taking his word for which was the high byte, etc), it was one of the few bits of solid data he'd actually provided.

So, if I understand you well, you have an array of two bytes and you want to 'convert' this two bytes into ONE integer ?
If yes, then simply do something like this:
int Value = buff[0] + buff[1] * 256;
Depending on the byte ordering, you will perhaps have to invert them.

It depends on byte ordering of your packet, i.e
Big Endian:
unsigned int n = (buff[0] << 8) | buff[1];
Little Endian:
unsigned int n = (buff[1] << 8) | buff[0];

If I understand correctly, your sequence number you want is in bytes buf[22] and buf[23].
If that's true, you can use a cast to retrieve the value:
unsigned short SeqNo;
SeqNo = *(short*)&buf[22]; Note that if it's only two bytes, it's a short and not an int.
Hope that helps.

I'm using custom handler for unhandled exception to generate crash dump file in my application (using XCrashReport). The problem is that it does not handle crash when progeram is freezed and user closes it using task manager. Is there a way how to run my exception handler in this case? It is difficult to explain users when they will find drwatson's crash results (and I think it is different in different windows versions).
Thank you.

I do not think that an application can trap being terminated by Task Manager - too much potential for abuse there, IMHO.
One thing you can try is to create your own watchdog. Create a separate thread whoses sole purpose in life is to send a message (like WM_NULL) to the main message pump every 10 seconds or so using SendMessageTimeout(...) with an approporiate timeout.
If the timeout expires, intentionally crash the application by doing something like dereferencing a NULL. Maybe that will cause the SEH handler to fire and give you more information about the state of the application?
Peace!

If it was an urgent query, that would have been posted on the lounge. I am surprised you didn't know this.

I can't say it for sure. But I've seen several such new members with their name as their member number while making their first few posts. So, that's my guess.
