I am using Visual studio 2005 for my development. I am doing a smart device application using Visual C++ MFC.
I had an application runnning perfectly on a device with ARMV4, till recently we receive a new Device with ARMV4I. the application is running on the new device but some features are not working, mainly serial port communications.
I compiled the existing application to new ARMV4I but still doesnt work.
I had an idea to create a new application and choose ARMV4I using the wizards, and then then compile it to use in my device..I have some trouble doing that!
My question is how to create a new application and copy/add/insert the old files, images, dialogs, headers and others from the old one and make it works.
if you have idea, please give some detailed information.
thank you
This is not an answer for your question, rather, another procedure to follow to achieve your goal.
Create two dummy projects with exactly the same name; one for ARMV4I and the other for ARMV4.
Compare the resulting .vcproj files (they are XMLs) using a visual diff'ing tool (e.g. WinMerge)
Identify the changes between them that makes one work and the other not
Apply these changes to your existing project. It should work now.
If you still need to copy files into your new project, just copy your .cpp / .h / .rc / res files into their appropriate directories and edit your .vcproj file manually to reflect these new files.

I'm using visual studio 2012 and SVN (tortoise) repository. I want to block some developers access to some source files, but I need the solution project compile ok. So I can't quit any file from it, and I don't want to use compiled dll. I want to know if exist some software /plug in / app that to controls some access permission to view/get files into VS. Any Idea ?
You could obfuscate the source code. (e.g. give variables cryptic names)
If this is an option, take a look at this thread.
I'm new to C++/COM. I have created a ATL COM Project with a callback mechanism to send messages to managed side. It has one idl file (sample1.idl) which expose 'n' number of methods, hence managed environment can access it. Now i would like to add another .idl(sample2.idl) file to that project.
.tlb is created for both sample1 & sample2 and build succeeded. On browsing the .dll , I couldn't find the sample2.idl related stuffs. I suspect that .tlb generated from ‘sample2.idl’ is not reflected in the .dll.
Can we have more than one IDL’s in the ATL (COM) project ?
The default for ATL, as with many native build environments, is to embed the type library as a resource in the DLL. Something you can see in Visual Studio (retail edition required), use File + Open + File and select the DLL. Open the "TYPELIB" node, you'll see one type library with resource ID #1. This is the one that Visual Studio sees when you use Add Reference.
Most any build tool that consumes type libraries will only ever look for that one resource. Visual Studio is no exception. It also can encode only one type library in its project files. You perhaps can make it work by selecting the 2nd .tlb file with the Add Reference dialog. Albeit that it is very likely that you'll now get exposed to more problems in your ATL project, like forgetting to register that 2nd type library in your .rgs file.
Very hard to give proper advice without any hint what that second IDL file might contain. Stay out of trouble by merging them or by using the existing support in IDL to import other .idl files or type libraries.
I am making changes to a web forms application in visual studio 2012 and part of that change is to remove reference to an old dll. The dll is responsible for handling authentication and I have written a new class library to handle this.
My problem is everytime I build my website in the solution, it always generates this old dll. I've annotated out all references to it in the entire application and it's not in the project dependencies of the solution.
If I exclude the unwanted dll, it just generates a new one. I am completely baffled by this. It's something I've not encountered before so I am not sure what else I can do.
I'm not sure what to post so if anyone can help then that would be great.
I had a similar problem (but it was with a persistent DB file being generated). I ended up having to go through the bin from the project file and editing it from there. Some files are 'hidden' from the project, and are either visible by
Make sure you are showing all files. There is a button at the top of
the Solution Explorer called "Show All Files". To see this button,
make sure that your project is selected in the solution explorer.
or by manually going through your project files.
EDIT
It can sometimes be hidden in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) where it can reside indefinitely. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zykhfde0.aspx explains how to remove it (if it is indeed hiding there).
try this, remove the old project from your Solution.
My team has been developing a software package for a while. The code is under source version control. Until now, every developer has been setting up their own development environment manually (we use Visual C++, recently upgraded to 2012). Now that the structure of the project has grown more complicated and the build configuration is non-trivial, I decided to create a portable solution and add it to the source control system for the convenience of newcomers.
The problem is I need the developers to be able to set up the solution according to their particular needs (mostly preprocessor #define's) without disturbing the solution for everybody else.
VC++ is creating a .user file for every project that seems to be designed to hold settings on a per-user basis, but I'm not sure how to add settings so they are stored in this file (which I exclude from source control) and not in the project file or the property sheet files (which are included in source control).
How can I accomplish this? Thanks.
I created my iPhone app with MonoTouch and deployed it to the AppStore. Now I want to add a free lite version of the same app. What is the best way to do this with MonoTouch/MonoDevelop?
So far I created a new Provisioning Profile for the lite version. I can change the build options to use the full or the lite profile. But what else do I have to change and how? I think at least the app name should be changed, but how???
Thanks,
Christian
The way I do these things is to create a new project, then add the existing c# files from the first project as a link. You will see this option on the "add existing file" dialog. Keep in mind all your Icon/Splash screen files will have to be copied though, MonoDevelop doesn't handle these right if they are linked.
Just a side note, you can get by with less provisioning profiles. Create one as com.yourcompany.*, then name your apps com.yourcompany.yourapp1, yourapp2, etc.
So I have a profile for Development, AdHoc, and AppStore, but I have several apps deployed.
Rather than link files, I prefer to make three projects: A library project which will have all the UILogic called X.Touch.Core and two more which will have a reference of the Core. X.Touch.Lite and X.Touch.Premium. This way you don't need to have linked files, it can be painful. You can put a file called settings.xml and perform some feature toggling there.
