Will do

I think Ivor Horton's "Beginning Visual C++ 6" a nice book to guide you to familiar with the IDE of VC (how to use the development tool, ex. ClassView, FileView, ResourceView, ClassWizard, WizardBar, ProjectSetting, debugging tools, ...). But if you decide to read this book, you should keep it in mind: there're too many errors in this book. There're more than 200 entries in the errata!

Actually, I think the original poster is only interested in MC++ books.

Thanks but I'm looking for MC++ books. But I have to agree with you. It is a very good book.

Hi there,
What is __gc statment before defining classes in manged code ? 
It's my first post in managed code form
My month article: Game programming by DirectX by Lan Mader.

__gc tells the compiler that what follows next is a managed type, ie it will be garbage collected.
HTH,
James

In MC++ should we always delete the destructor and the implement the Finalize function or we should never do anything?
I am still a little confused about if to leave the desctructor or not
Experts?!!?
Al

If it behaves like C# the destructor is treated as a Finalize method.... Wonder what would happen if you define both

The question may also be: What happens if I don't define a destructor what so ever?
Al
|
|
|
|

In a pure managed class it will be GC'd as normal... The destructor is just there to free up any non-managed resources during GC. If you do have unmanaged resources though you are encouraged to implement IDisposable so that they can be returned ASAP.
I have no idea what happens when you mix managed/unmanaged together though I assume you could treat it like another system resource, implementing IDisposable and calling Dispose from the destructor/finalize methods.

So, if I don't have any unmanaged code I could just delete the destructor! Great!
Thanks James!

That's what it's called Managed C++. Part of the "managed" is about garbage collection.

I use a lot of vectors for storing pointers to C++ objects. What is the best .NET framework collection type to use in Managed C++ for storing managed classes?

ArrayList is the analogy to vector...
BUT, if you feel adventurous you can get Collection Generator from Chris Sells and create a new template for MC++ (and modify the code so that it works with MC++), then you just create/edit an XML document to create a new Collection type.
Works very well with C#; haven't tested VB.NET's version. Comes with collections for Vectors and HashTables.
