How to: Migrating a CLR console Visual C++ project to Windows Forms
- 17 December 2012
Note: Windows Forms programming in new development is discouraged by Microsoft at this point as Microsoft wants to make full use of hardware accelerated drawing instead of using the CPU-intensive GDI. But maintaining old Windows Forms code in Visual C++ 2012 is still supported, GDI isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Visual C++ 2012 removed the Windows Forms project template and I see people scramble to find ways to create a Windows Forms project. There is a walkaround that’s been around for years, that is, to convert a CLR console application to a Windows one, then add forms related code to the project. The basic steps are listed at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317433, conveniently named “How to suppress the console window for a managed extensions to Visual C++ Windows Forms application”. Yes, the need to convert a C++ console application to windows forms is that old, back all the way back in the managed extensions for C++ days. So what I need to do to add Windows Forms support to a C++/CLI console application? Of course the System.Windows.Forms.dll reference is missing in a new console application, so I need to reference it:
Add the correct interface first in Adding an MFC Class from an ActiveX Control wizard.
- 04 December 2012
In good old times aka VC6, if you want to use an ActiveX in MFC, the Components and Controls Gallery would generate all the properties and methods of an ActiveX and pull dependent types and create wrapper classes for them as well. And it was good. It magically knows the main class of the Windows Media Player ActiveX is CWMPPlayer4 and that GetCurrentMedia method returns CWMPMedia.

How to use Visual C++ with Perl
- 03 November 2005
Microsoft Visual C++ and later do not support perl scripts by default. That is, the Developer Studio does not associate any special significance to perl scripts without being informed otherwise. However, there are several viable options, namely custom build rules, which enable the creation of projects that depend directly upon perl scripts. The remainder of this article discusses the following three methods for adding perl script files to a Visual C++ project:
《转换指南: 将程序从托管扩展C++迁移到C++/CLI》译后
- 17 March 2005
终于把Stan Lippman先生的这篇文章译完了。从去年4月在全球MVP峰会上拿到这篇文章的手稿到现在，差不多一年过去了。虽然当时的Visual Studio 2005还不支持一些语法，但是我和董颖涛对新的C++/CLI语言都很感兴趣，在当时就讨论过翻译的问题。之后我就开始翻译这篇文章，但是进度一直很慢——主要是杂务太多、语言上的困难（尽量避免误解和词不达意的情况，以及斟酌用词的选择）。在1月份完成了全文之后，看到了Sunhui的一篇文章（http://community.csdn.net/expert/Topicview1.asp?id=3834281），觉得附录里面讲到的一些内容或许一些人也有兴趣，所以继续翻译附录的工作，幸好现在是春假，比较有时间，终于在今天完成了。译文目前在http://blog.csdn.net/jiangsheng/archive/2004/10/18/140450.aspx可以访问，希望读者指正。
