Make a full rebuild.

Edit:
If this does not help, including MSVCR80.dll (and maybe a handful more dlls) in the publish folder should solve the problem.

Thanks, now it works!!!

There is only one last small question until this thread can be closed: How can I setup my dll so that it gets a version and an informationtext? In Dev-Cpp this was under Projectsettings, but in VC++ I can't find anything like that...

Dark_Samurai

In the IDE, add a resource file (.rc), now the left project window switches to the resource window. Here you add a new resource type, just called "version" where you can edit this settings.

It seems like this is not supported with the express version...

Thanks for your help!

Probably because the function is expecting a double which is 4bytes and you gave it a short which is 1-2bytes depending on compiler/Os.

Stick with ints/floats, they're faster in almost all cases. 2Byte data types don't help unless you're using them inside classes to save space. Things are optimized more efficiently if all the data you're using is 32bits for the most part.

Can I recommend you try out the STD::STRING stuff? char*'s and the stdlib cstring manipulators are very very dangerous, I can't tell you how many times I've blown up the heap/stack with them .

Do you mean using an index that doesn't exit? Because of that I use for example sprintf_s (all with _s) which is save in this case (because of an parameter that holds the size).



In school they told us not to use int because it's size depends on the compiler. But with int every thing works, because of that I will use int in the future.

Dark_Samurai

Unfortunately, yes, int can vary in size depending on compiler, but if you're using a comiler on at LEAST a 32bit platform that was made in the last 10 years or so, you can assume int is 4bytes. I know for a fact you can in VS/Borlandbuilder 6+.

What the heck do they tell you to use besides an int? long?

It's not crashing on sprint_f, I believe it's wigging out on the accessing of sscanf_s.
