Can you please specify which format you want to convert (to and from). Do you need code or tool?

Hi All,
I have managed to Host (C#)Windows Froms Control in MFC Application.
MFC Application is Dialog based application where i did "Insert ActiveX Control" on a dialog and i am able to see the Control on Dialog.When i execute Program it runs fine.
Problem is after that when i Close Development Environment (VC++(6.0) IDE)and open it agian,it gives error "The ActiveX Control can not be instantiated"
"The ActiveX Control MyControl.MyControl1 Failed to initialize properly"
And in Design environment it shows Blue background on my control.But when i run it it runs fine.
It is very annoying ,every time i closes and opens the IDE error is shown.
Can anybody give some advice on this.
Thanks
TusharM.

 Hi all:
In CP I came across a demo project, and when I start trying to grasp It's source code, the following declaration really comfuse me up!What this colon is all about?
Is anyone can give me a explanation? I appreciate that!
struct MP3FRAMEHEADER
{
unsigned emphasis : 2; // M
unsigned original : 1; // L
unsigned copyright : 1; // K
unsigned modeext : 2; // J
unsigned chanmode : 2; // I
unsigned privbit : 1; // H
unsigned padding : 1; // G
unsigned samplerate : 2; // F
unsigned bitrate : 4; // E
unsigned hascrc : 1; // D
unsigned mpeglayer : 2; // C
unsigned mpegver : 2; // B
unsigned framesync : 11; // A
};

The : n notation is specifying bit fields, in this case, 32 bits total. It's a hint to the compiler that it can store all those in a 32 bit unsigned int, although it doesn't imply any particular ordering. It saves you from having to use bitshifts and masking. You don't see it that often, but it is mentioned in language references.
Seems developers now pay as much attention to those as journalists (at least here in the UK) do to English grammar and punctuation references...

Thanks a lot.
But can you give me a example, or It's application?

It's very simple - say you're working in a very tight memory space (some kind of embedded system that doesn't have huge amounts of RAM)
On a normal PC, you'd probably just assign everything as ints
struct DATETIME
{
int nDay;
int nMonth;
int nYear;
int nHour;
int nMinute;
int nSecond;
}
making the assumption that each int is 32bits (4 bytes) then you'll see that each DATETIME will take 24 bytes of memory
Now, if you think about it, you don't need 32 bits for each of these variables
Day can be from 1 to 31 - so fits in 5 bits
Month can be from 1 to 12 - so fits in 4 bits
Year can be represented as 0..256 if you add on a year offset (and don't intend to use years in the far future or in the distant past) - so 8 bits
Hours: 0..23 - 5 bits
Minutes: 0..59 - 6 bits
Seconds: 0..59 - 6 bits
So if you total all those up (5+4+8+5+6+6) you get a total of 34 bits
struct NEWDATETIME
{
unsigned char nYear;
unsigned int nDay:5;
unsigned int nMonth:6;
unsigned int nHour:5;
unsigned int nMinute:6;
unsigned int nSecond:6;
}
The actual amount of memory used will vary depending on how inteligent the compiler is, but if it behaves correctly it'll use far less memory than the original struct (and if you've got thousands of these in memory, you'll see what a saving it'd be!)

struct NEWDATETIME
{
unsigned char nYear; // 8 bits is all we need
unsigned int nDay:5;
unsigned int nMonth:6;
unsigned int nHour:5;
unsigned int nMinute:6;
unsigned int nSecond:6;
}
So the colon operator in the declaration above simply means nDay, nMonth... takes several bits instead of 30 bits for each of them. Other than that there's no any different with the former declaration which is every member element in the DATETIME structure takes 30 bits regarding the implementation and assignment? Just out of memory consumption thinking?
Am I right?

Yup - basically if you type unsigned int nDay; you're saying "I want an int called nDay" and the compiler will likely allocate 32 bits for it.
If you have unsigned int nDay:5; you're saying "I only need 5 bits for this variable" - whether the compiler allocates 5 bits, or gives you a full 32 bits is up to the compiler, but if it works properly it'll let you save memory.
So in other words, 9 times out of 10 you'll probably never use it.
In the example you gave, it looks like it's something to do with parsing the data in an MP3 file - this is quite a common use of bitfields, since it lets you quickly read in an abstract binary file into sensible variables

Well, Thanks a lot.I really appreciate your patience!
Yes, I'm working on a MP3 file parsing!
And I'v got the example source code, but It seems hard to grasp!

How can I get parameters (signature) of a function exported by a C DLL? I am looking for a tool or any code that achieves this. Dependency Walker fails to show signature of C functions, why?

That is why you need the header files for the dll/lib.
onwards and upwards...

Can this be done without header file(s)?

Hi all,
I have the following function in my VC6 project:
<br />
LPSTR getFieldName(int index)<br />
{<br />
return (index < 0 ? "abcd" : SysAllocString("Newstring")) ; <br />
}<br />
It runs well in VC6 if I give the preprocessor macro OLE2ANSI.
When I convert the same project to VS.Net 2003, It starts giving errors in atlconv.h. So I had to remove the OLE2ANSI macro from preprocessor definitions.
Then it give the error:
<br />
c:\src\INCLUDE\OIP.CPP(123) : error C2664<br />
: 'SysAllocString' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char *' to 'const OLECHAR*'<br />
It gives the same error in VC6 with out the OLE2ANSI macro.
Is there a macro in .Net that can be used instead of OLE2ANSI in VC6?
Any idea how to solve the issue?
thanks...

What you try to do man???
LPSTR getFieldName(int index)
{
return (index < 0 ? "abcd" : SysAllocString("Newstring")) ;
}
This is totally stranger code i suppose
SysAllocString - allocated BSTR - BSTR is OLECHAR* olechar is WCHAR or CHAR (depend on macro definition OLE2ANSI and system).If you wont to return just LPSTR why you don't do this
return (index < 0 ? "abcd" : "Newstring") ;
and in any way when you allocate string by SysAllocString you shoul remove one by calling SysFreeString but when you return some constant string you don't care about this at all.

I am converting a VC6 project to vs.Net 2003
This is some part of the code that works perfectly fine in vc6 and giving the error in vs.Net.
I don't want to change the code that is tested and working.
Why is the same code giving error in vs.Net?
Thanks a lot for your reply...

Hello,
Can I read function signature from a flat DLL without TLB or LIB extension? Actually, I can read function name but not its parameters from a DLL. What do you suggest about it? Thank you.
