I have my answer. I will post it so that it is in the archives incase anyone else needs it.

System::String^ CString2DotNetOut()
{

          char* cString = "20 chars for testing";
          System::String^ sString = System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::PtrToStringAnsi(System::IntPtr(cString));
          return sString;
}

void DotNetString2CStringOut(System::String^ sString)
{

          char* cString = (char*)System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(sString).ToPointer();
          cout << cString;
}

Hi all,

We have a mixed mode managed c dll here and I need help.

The internals of the dll are using native c and the interface is exposing managed c so that c# can call it. We are passing a System.String into the dll and need to convert it to char*.

Currently the developer is looping for each character in the string and placing the value into the char. There has got to be a better way.

Anyone?

Thanks

Yea! That is the one, but it's not on the machine this time. The images in the directory are not the same... I swear I have not been drinking!

That's my favorite one though!

Ok, I am confused. I installed Vista RTM and noticed that the background wallpaper I had used throught the RC series was missing and some new ones were there. This was a new install not an upgrade BTW.

So I found this one that I really liked with has the evening scene of the pier on the ocean. The one with the lights.

Last night I had an issue when I installed the new ATI drivers, which resulted in me cussing a lot and reinstalling all over again due to the whole OS dying.

Now on this new install the wallpaper items are the ones I saw in the RC edition and the other ones I saw, including my new favorite are gone!!! I looked on the CD and can't find any cabs or installation directories (like i386).

So what the background folks??? Does Vista randomly decide which set of photos you are getting and how can I get the one I liked back?

I hope soon cause it's where certified partners get thier VL media from

It's the Utlimate version for Corporations. It's only available through VLM.

I thought the tunneling only applied to XP. The way I understood it was that IPV6 in XP was a tunnel protocol that went through IPV4 and in Vista it became a stack instead of a tunnel. So Vista either connects direct IPV6 to IPV6 or IPV4 to IPV4 and without a supporting router the transit is lost if a downgrade to IPV4 can't be performed. Is this wrong?
