Thanks for this. Good to see C++ getting its fair share of support from MS. Will be nice if MS could release nice rich wrapper libs (hiding some COM specifics) to make development easier and more productive on C++ on Windows platforms. COM is what makes developers wary of jumping from Unix world onto the Windows native development bandwagon. Just my 1c...

thank you for great news, C++ is longly used for many custmors around my job.

Anyway, hyperlinks on MFC and TR1 are broken,

I guess some server error happend on their site.

Great, all I need now is for them to update XNA so it works with 2008 and I'll be laughing :)

Sawai-san,

I am not sure which hyperlinks you are referring to. I just tried again the MFC and TR1 links from the post and it seemed to work well.

By doing this you've chosen one third-party MFC control vendor who will survive, and put the rest out of business. I hope you're happy.

Has anyone else noticed that these are mostly features that have been available in the .NET framework for a while now? It seems to me that Micro$oft is making the transitional push away from unmanaged code by making it second fiddle to managed code. I'm not trying to bash C++, I'm just saying that this will be a reality far sooner than alot of people want to admit.

Fantastic work with the unmanaged Office 2007 ribbon component. I'm looking forward to the .NET version.

Now that there's an unmanaged 2007 ribbon component, how long until someone wraps that for .Net and we'll have a native .net ribbon instead of all these 3rd party look alikes?

Hi Mesan,

The team is working on a .NET ribbon control and we hope to have something around the end of this calendar year.

Hi I wanted to report a bug: the regex class does not work with WCHAR and ECMA/icase (ECMA with for case insensitive).

std::tr1::wregex rx(L"^([a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\\-/=?^_`{|}~]|(?!^)\\.(?!\\.|$)){1,64}$|^\"([\\x01-\\x08\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x1f\\x20\\x21\\x23-\\x5b\\x5d-\\x7f]|\\\\\\\\[\\x01-\\x09\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x7f]){1,64}\"$", (std::tr1::regex::flag_type)(std::tr1::regex_constants::ECMAScript | std::tr1::regex_constants::icase));

if (!std::tr1::regex_match((LPCWSTR)EMailAddressStringW.Left(iPos), rx)) return eInvalidChars;

Hi,

Does Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack includes Unit Testing plugin for VC++ projects as well? How to create a Automated Unit Test Cases for VC++ methods?

Awaiting your response at the earliest.

Thanks and Regards

Hello Krishnamurthy,

The Feature Pack does not include any updates to unit testing. I would recommend taking a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243171.aspx & http://www.codeguru.com/columns/kate/article.php/c11893/ for VC++ unit testing. Also, you might find http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vststest/thread/cc3b7b31-e364-43c2-b40e-6b9013595a42/ useful.

Dear Ayman,

Thanks a lot for the links.

How do I create Unit Tests for Unmanaged Code?

How do I create a Unit Test case for MFC and Static Library Code?

I have created a Unit Test case for Class Library code by changing the /clr to /clr:safe.

Kindly let me know the best practice to create a Unit Test case for MFC and Static Library Projects.

Awaiting your response at the earliest.

Thanks

We do not have a pure native unit testing solution, the only way to test native code is from Managed C++ via P/Invoke.

Thanks,

Are there any issues installing this on VS2008 Pro running on a Vista box? When I run the installer, it cannot find my installation of C++

thanks!

Hello Thomson,

There should be no problems there. I believe the feature pack won't install if you already have VC2008 SP1 installed on your machine. The features introduced by the feature pack are already rolled into the service pack.

If the feature pack is failling and you don't have the SP installed, then try installing the SP to get the features. If that is not a prefered choice, please feel free to contact me directly at aymans at microsoft dot com and we can try diagnosing the problem.

Thanks,

Thank you for your response Ayman, I did have SP1 installed. I have two installations (one worked, and one didn't) and I thought each had SP1. Turns out one of the systems was running XP did not have SP1, so I incorrectly concluded that it might be a vista thing.

Hello,

i cannot find a download link or a hint how to get & install the MSDN documentation for the new MFC classes, e.g. CMFCRibbon...

I have installed:

- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition - ENU

- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 - ENU

- MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008 - ENU

I CANNOT install:

- VS 2008 Feature Pack (it says 'no component installed')

The question now is: where&how do i get the new MFC MSDN documentation?

Regards,

Kuwe
