You would use the GetFileVersionInfo API. See Using Version Information on the MSDN site. Sample: DWORD verHandle = 0; UINT size = 0; LPBYTE lpBuffer = NULL; DWORD verSize = GetFileVersionInfoSize( szVersionFile, &verHandle); if (verSize != NULL) { LPSTR verData = new char[verSize]; if (GetFileVersionInfo( szVersionFile, verHandle, verSize, verData)) { if (VerQueryValue(verData,”\\”,(VOID FAR* FAR*)&lpBuffer,&size)) { … Read more
As Patrick O’Hara wrote, NuGet will not make changes to a C++/CLI project for you. See GitHub Issue NuGet/Home#1121 – Cannot install managed packages into a CLI project. However, using the NuGet command line utility, NuGet.exe, you can have NuGet download and unpack the desired package(s). For a complete example, here were steps that I … Read more
In the case of an import library for a DLL, the .lib file does not contain any actual code at all. It basically contains just a list of the functions in the associated DLL — enough for the linker to embed a reference to that DLL into something linked with the library, but not much … Read more
It looks like you are most of the way there already. Well done with your investigation. Let’s see if I can help clear up the ‘why’ behind it. Here’s what the linker is doing. When you link your executable (‘main’ above) it has some symbols (functions and other things) that are unresolved. It will look … Read more
It looks like the perfect solution does not yet exist. To summarize some research: Make My Manifest (link) This tool scans a VB6 project to look for COM dependencies, but it also supports manual declaration of late-bound COM dependencies (i.e. those used via CreateObject). Interestingly enough, this tool puts all information about the dependencies inside … Read more
I just did some real-world testing (compiling DLLs and applications with MSVC++ and MinGW, then mixing them). As it appears, I had better results with the cdecl calling convention. More specifically: the problem with stdcall is that MSVC++ mangles names in the DLL export table, even when using extern “C”. For example foo becomes _foo@4. … Read more
First of all, you need to understand the difference between two very different kinds of DLLs. Microsoft decided to go with the same file extensions (.exe and .dll) with both .NET (managed code) and native code, however managed code DLLs and native DLLs are very different inside. 1) At what point does web.dll dynamically link … Read more
I was having the same problem. Turned out I was missing the ./Views/Web.config file, because I created the project from an empty ASP.NET application instead of using an ASP.NET MVC template. For ASP.NET MVC 5, a vanilla ./Views/Web.config file contains the following: <?xml version=”1.0″?> <!– https://stackoverflow.com/a/19899269/178082 –> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name=”system.web.webPages.razor” type=”System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, … Read more
