I can't use ofstream in my form..

it says...
Unknown Identifier.

And YES I included "fstream"...
But it's not fstream.h... it's the simple fstream.

What should I do?

Either that or...

How do you use savefiledialog?

Now... how do I write a variable in it?
It only uses stream.write and that write only writes arrays..
Plus I'm having hard time using arrays..
It seemed like streamwriter.writeline would work fine.
But it's different from stream...
what can I do?

From the above questions, I think spend some time studying C++/CLI. There is too much here for a simple answer.

I can't study it more than that..
I don't have a book,
I don't have a class on it,
And furthermore, all the darn examples on C++ web browsers won't work.
I'm trying to write a variable in a file.
I got the dialog working and the creation of the file FINE.
But when it comes to writing arrays wich are definitely the only variable type that has NO Meaning IN LIFE at all...
I used to program in pascal turbo...
But in a whole game programming I never used arrays.
And I'M not gonna start here... You hear me man?
So tell me...
How do I write a variable in a damn file??!?

Well it does not appear that you are. What you are doing is posting questions one at a time and asking someone here to write the code for you. Studying means actually sitting down with a book, online tutorial etc and working through it until you understand it. The fact that you don't understand arrays suggests you have a long way to go.

You may be referring to incorrect links.

Interesting. So are you looking for a syntax of writing managed arrays? Here is how you write a simple integer array.

C++

array<int>^ arr = gcnew array<int>(2);

// Adding values
arr[0] = 26;
arr[1] = 18;

Fenix2 wrote:

Here is how you write array of strings to a file.

C++

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;

typedef array<String^> StringArray;

void WriteArrayToFile(StringArray^ arr)
{
	StreamWriter writer("c:\\test.txt", false);
	for each(String^ str in arr)
	{
		writer.WriteLine(str);
	}
}

Use it like:

C++

StringArray^ arr = gcnew StringArray(2);
arr[0] = "You need";
arr[1] = "a good book";
WriteArrayToFile(arr);

All I can say is, grow up, read the posting guidelines and post your question nicely with relevant code and change your attitude if you expect help from this forums.

If you ever plan to read a book, try this[^]

Do you have a library near you where you could borrow one?

Even if not, you obviously have access to the internet and there are thousands of good tutorials around, just try searching this site and use google. That's what the rest of us have to do.

HI all,
I am getting this error since morning, I am clue less as I am working first time on it (I am c# developer).

the code file are as follows and i compied using Commnad prompt
command cl /clr:oldSyntax DemoCPP.cpp

DemoCPP.cpp class

#include "DemoHeader.h"

DemoCPP::DemoCPP()
	: Length(0.00), Height(0.00)
{
}

DemoCPP::DemoCPP(double L, double H)
	: Length(L), Height(H)
{
}

DemoCPP::~DemoCPP()
{
}

double DemoCPP::getLength()
{
	return Length;
}

void DemoCPP::setLength(double L)
{
	Length = L;
}

double DemoCPP::getHeight()
{
	return Height;
}

void DemoCPP::setHeight(double H)
{
	Height = H;
}

void DemoCPP::setDimensions(double L, double H)
{
	setLength(L);
	setHeight(H);
}

double DemoCPP::Perimeter()
{
	return 2 * (Length + Height);
}

double DemoCPP::Area()
{
	return Length * Height;
}

header file DemoHeader.h

#pragma once
#using <mscorlib.dll>

__gc class DemoCPP
{
public:
	DemoCPP();
	DemoCPP(double L, double H);
	~DemoCPP();

	void setLength(double L);
	double getHeight();
	void setHeight(double H);
	void setDimensions(double L, double H);
	double Perimeter();
	double Area();
private:
	double Length;
	double Height;
};

any body have any idea how to resolve this problem?

thanks in advance!

Did you create your dll project with a wizard. (If not do it)

Press F1 for help or google it.

Since this is a DLL, you need to compile with /DLL compiler switch. BTW, why are you using old syntax?

Thanks for quick response!

Yes I have googled a lot and then placed question here...

the Old command i am using because it is recommended by the VS2005 when i tried to build the project from vs2005

I tried the project type as empty project as well as class library!

still I am getting the same error!

I have created the project using wizard itself!
any further help!

thanks in advance!

If you have VS, don't do command compilation. I never came across a situation where VS recommended old syntax. If you need to create a fully managed assembly, choose Class Library project type. Use new syntax and compile using /clr:safe.

if you need to communicate with native libraries, compile with /clr switch which will produce mixed assemblies. Since you have VS IDE, best option is to use it to compile rather than doing through command. VS does things like manifest embedding automatically.

thanks navneeth for ypur reply

I tried using /clr:safe option however i got the following error

Error	1	error C4980: '__gc' : use of this keyword requires /clr:oldSyntax command line option	d:\excercise\dot net\cppclasslibrary\cppclasslibrary\CPPCLassLibrary.h

8

so as suggested I used the /clr:oldSyntax

and option _gc I am using as i want to consume this class libray in c#

Here is your class using new syntax.

C++

#pragma once

using namespace System;

ref class DemoCPP
{
public:
	DemoCPP();
	DemoCPP(double L, double H);
	~DemoCPP();
	double getLength();
	void setLength(double L);
	double getHeight();
	void setHeight(double H);
	void setDimensions(double L, double H);
	double Perimeter();
	double Area();
private:
	double Length;
	double Height;
};

Now compile using /clr or /clr:safe.

How do I get Image_click to work more than once?

7-Oct-09 23:19

I got the Answer Smile | :)

here it is

1. Project Properties -> General Tab
2. for Common Language Runtime Support select Old Syntax (/clr:oldSyntax) from drop down

now you do not need to play with command line ..... Smile | :)

you can easily build your project from visual studio IDE itself

Here's some code :

private: System::Void TS11_MCli(System::Object^  sender, System::Windows::Forms::MouseEventArgs^  e) {
			 				Tsn11 = Tsn11 + 1 ;
				 if (Tsn11 = 0) {  this->TS11->Image = Image::FromFile("C:/GamePics/NOTILE.png");}
					else {
						if (Tsn11 = 1){  this->TS11->Image = Image::FromFile("C:/GamePics/GREEN.png");}
							else {
								if (Tsn11 = 2){  this->TS11->Image = Image::FromFile("C:/GamePics/GRTRE.png");}
								else {
									if (Tsn11 = 3){  this->TS11->Image = Image::FromFile("C:/GamePics/ROAD.png");}
									else {
										if (Tsn11 = 4){  this->TS11->Image = Image::FromFile("C:/GamePics/WALL.png");}
										};
									};
								};
						};
							 
			 };

};

Your questions is not clear. Please explain it clearly.

Also the code posted is less readable. Please remove unnecessary spaces and format it nicely. I think a switch case makes more sense here than nested if.

The question is ultra simple.
How do I get a mouseclick event work twice?!?

As for the code, it works.

The bug is either the variable won't increment more than once, either the procedure is usable only once.

I'm gonna try something.
