The previous post was when I was within the project and I AM CHOOSING ICON FILE. If I highlight the Solution and select 'Add New Item' an 'Add New Item - Solution Items' dialog box appears and I can select 'Icon File' and add it to the 'Solution Items' folder. Right clicking on this icon file and selecting Properties now displays a PropertyGrid that has 5 properties listed... (name), Active Config, Description, Path, and Startup Project, but NO Build Action.

Yes that is correct.

Why did you switch to 'Solution'? Add the Icon File to the Project.

I tried switching to solution because I have added the icon file to the project a half dozen times now. There simply is no Build Action property to be found.

My full version number is 8.0.50727.42. I bet it does not match yours.

I all,
need to convert a MFC app to .net, would it be wise to strip out the MFC stuff first to just have normal ANSI C++ code and then wrap it in MC++?
not sure if i'll run into problems later.
thanks

You have an entire application written using MFC, what would be left if you "stripped" it out?

well, i guess the windows stuff etc.. the code is an API for currency forex exchange - but i want to extract the main functionality of the API code and convert this to .net.
the application is a sample app, it just has a menu with some basic functions - nothing fancy.

eh,
Sounds like you’re just in here for a laugh, I’ve been programming in many DIFFERENT languages for over 10 years, if you have nothing useful to add then don't question my ability...
I’ve done this before and i'm not in anyway a beginner - i came here for advice but it seems to me know one here has the knowledge or the qualifications to help!

Yet you could not manage to formulate an intelligent question in your initial post that accurately represents your situation. And then you think it's ok to cast aspersions at me? Your like one of those assholes that cuts people off in traffic and then blames them for the incident, you are the problem in this thread ass wipe not me, f*** off.

You can simply compile your MFC application with the /CLR switch (project property, Configuration Properties|General|Common Language Runtime support.)
If I must move an application from native to .NET, my own preference is to understand how the application works and then rewrite it in C# and fully leverage .NET. (I've had some code move almost straight across with mostly cosmetic changes--like having to put public in front of methods and so forth.)
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

open or create usertype.dat file in a notepad and defined your keyword and save in folder where devenv.exe exist.

Hi, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 C++/CLI. I guess my previous question on the autoscroll was a real stumper, so I'll try something else. When writing an application I will get quite a ways into the development when, at the insistance of my boss, I need to create a new version that I can continue development on. So I will go through the tedious process of creating a new folder and copying 'mySolution1 Version 1' to 'mySolution1 Version2' and then renaming the individual solution and project files (that isn't why I am posting but if someone knows an easier way to do that I would love to know). On to the question. While working on an app I did this through a 'mySolution1 Version5' at which time I added an icon of our company logo to appear on the forms and everything was good. Then I needed to use a copy of 'mySolution1 Version5 to begin a new and different application called 'mySolution2 Version1' again renaming the solution and project files accordingly. It compiled fine but crashed with a 'MissingManifestResourceException' on the 'Windows Form Designer' generated code "this->Icon = (cli::safe_cast<System::Drawing::Icon^ >(resources->GetObject(L"$this.Icon")));". If I remark out the line the app compiles and runs fine using the default icon. If I go into the 'Forms Designer' and change the Icon property the way I did before then the app crashes. The syntax of the line is the same. Anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Buck

Umm, ever heard of source control.

Hey Mike,
Geez, considering I'm the only programmer on staff the Source Control in VS 2005 appears 100 times more tedious than the way I have been doing it. And considering that there is no money to buy a third party plug-in where would I get a free third party plug-in?

Just to let you know,
I have figured out a seven step process that I can use to consistantly be able to copy and rename entire solutions but that isn't what I need to do to correct this icon problem that give me an error on the line...
this->Icon = (cli::safe_cast<System::Drawing::Icon^>(resources->GetObject(L"$this.Icon")));
There was a Microsoft .NET article "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950960.aspx" talking about this very subject and another forum had a solution for this problem. The solution is to add the icon as a resource and then select the incon file's Build Action property and change it to Embedded. My problem now (as it always is with Microsoft) is that my VS 2005 does not have the same Forms or properties as these examples and the icon file I imported does not have a Build Action property. I will post again as a Build Action problem.
Sorry, it would have been nice to provide you with a link to the MS article but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks

I am using the keydown event, for performing some operation. I just want to store this return value as string, i don't know how to do this. Can you help me.
for example
If the user press the key 'a', I want to store 'a' as string
Thanks

It's a char, call ToString to store it as a string. But, it's one char, a char will do it just fine.

Thanks for reply
I want to know want key is pressed by user.
I think KeyData will provide that user pressed keydata but it returns key.
I dont know how to store the return value as string.
So i used this keyvalue .
i wrote like this
int ^ keyvalue = e->KeyValue;
String ^data = keyvalue->ToString();
Can you tell me how to store the keydata as string. I am using .net framework 2.0 version(windows form application);
thanks,
