You should use Monospaced font[^]. Arial [^] is a sans-serif font. Try with Courier, Courier New or other monospaced font.

Thanks!! Courier New worked for me.

I need to read in numbers until a new line. Once I hit the newline, it should leave the while loop. This isn't happening though with the code I wrote, any help would be appreciated!
...
while ( character != '\n' )
{
if( true( character, num ) )
{
execute code here
}
else
{
return -1;
}
cin >> chDigit;
}
...

What is "character"?
What is "num"?
What does this have to do with managed c++/cli?

it's possible to some operation like:
IntPtr hdc = this->panel1->GetHdc();
Graphics ^newGraphics = Graphics::FromHdc(hdc);
newGraphics->DrawImageUnscaled(tmp,0,0);
this->panel1->ReleaseHdc(hdc);
in correct timing with vertical sync without going into directx?
if this is possible, can someone point me out a tutorial or example where i can learn this thing?

Hi All
I am getting error when use command USE 12;(12 is database name)

I have the following native function call:
wchar_t* SXNative::ReturnString()
{
wchar_t retString[128];
wchar_t Test[] = L"This is a dummy";
wcscpy_s(retString, sizeof(Test) / sizeof(wchar_t), Test);
return retString;
}
The return value works fine from the native function.
In a C++/CLI wrapper class I have a managed type that marshalls the return type:
String^ ManagedWrapper::Managed_ReturnString()
{
wchar_t* test = nat_ptr->ReturnString();
return gcnew String(test);
}
The return type from the manaaged function returns garbage.
Any idea what is wrong with this?
Thanks in advance.

IMO this isn't valid C or C++ code, it returns a pointer to a stack-based array, which is going to diappear in thin air as soon as the function returns. It may look like a good pointer on immediate inspection, but it will not work reliably.

OK. It goes out of scope after it returns. How do I mend that?

by making sure it does not sit on the stack (the alternatives being static allocation and heap allocation).
In C, it would be a global array, or a malloc'ed buffer.
in C++ it could also be (a member of) an object, anything that gets gcnew'ed or is static.
And for anything dynamic, you would eventually have to deallocate it (e.g. call free on the thing that was malloc'ed).

Can you suggest something? I've struggled with mixed mode a bit
Jer 29:11

I don't know what it is you want to achieve. I guess this would be the simplest C++ code that should do it:
wchar_t* SXNative::ReturnString() {
return L"This is a dummy";
}
as now the string sits statically in memory.
If you need more C++ advice, better someone else kicks in. I answered the OP because it started as a P/Invoke issue, which it wasn't after all.

Thanks. Not sure where the post was intended as P/Invoke. I was sure I was pursuing an interop question. What you posted is a portion of what I had initially. The native code worked as posted. It just goes out of scope when called my the managed function. As stated in the OP, I want to return a native string to a managed function that marshalls it to a System::String.

"Marshal" in the subject line got my attention...

Look at his thread ... maybe it can help, you its going from System::String (utf8 charset) do std::string

Thanks for the offer. I think I got it (see later in thread).

As Luc mentioned, one way to do this is to allocate the
native string and free it when you're done with it:
wchar_t* SXNative::ReturnString()
{
wchar_t* retString = new wchar_t[128];
wchar_t Test[] = L"This is a dummy";
wcscpy_s(retString, sizeof(Test) / sizeof(wchar_t), Test);
return retString;
}
String^ ManagedWrapper::Managed_ReturnString()
{
wchar_t* test = nat_ptr->ReturnString();
String^ retstr = gcnew String(test);
delete test;
return retstr;
}

Thanks Mark,
An illustration goes a long way than a theoretical discussion. I thought about the return type from the native code, what's been discussed and realized that rather than marshalling or converting it in the managed function, why not have the managed string object returned in native function. That's one of the bigger bonuses of C++/CLI right? So I decided to do the following:
<pre>
String^ SXNative::ReturnString()
{
wchar_t Test[] = L"This is a dummy";
msclr::auto_gcroot<String^> ret;
wcscpy_s(retString, sizeof(Test) / sizeof(wchar_t), Test);
ret = marshal_as<String^>(retString);
return ret->ToString();
}
</pre>
<pre>
String^ ManagedWrapper::Managed_ReturnString()
{
return nat_ptr->ReturnString();
}
</pre>
I want to say thanks again for posting the example because that may help someone else like it did for me. I also want to post my solution as well as I feel that it shows an alternative solution.
Thanks again Mark 
Al

I don't know what others read into your OP, but I personally
figured the native function needed to be pure native. Had I known
it could be mixed then it would have been much simpler
Cheers,

Just the same, I would appreciate your opinion on what I posted. Both version work but I would value your input as to what I showed.
The real native code is left out for proprietary reasons, but what was illustrated in context was not necessarily written in stone as to having to be completely native code. I should have stressed that the wrapper was a CLR DLL and that mixed mode was viable.

I suppose it could be simplified...
String^ SXNative::ReturnString()
{
wchar_t Test[] = L"This is a dummy";
return gcnew String(Test);
}
or
String^ SXNative::ReturnString()
{
return gcnew String(L"This is a dummy");
}

What YOU posted DOES compile and work for me. Perhaps I don't understand what you mean.

That was my opinion (joking) on the code you posted,
because you asked.
There's so many ways to code - I try hard not to give opinions (I'm
hardly qualified to decide what code is good or bad), but instead I
prefer to provide alternatives. Someone else may come along
and provide an even better alternative...etc.

I know. But you also asked my opinion - I quoted you on that
