C++ 2011: nullptr
C++ used to lack a special value to indicate a null pointer, which led to some problems. The new standard introduces a new reserved word nullptr, to designate a constant rvalue that represents a null pointer. Read on to learn more.
C++ 2011: Strongly-typed Enums
Strongly-typed enumerators, provided by the new C++ standard, solve the known problems with the traditional enumerators. The new standard brings a new kind of enumerator, introduced with 'enum class,' called strongly-typed enums.
Improve Unit Testing with Visual C++ Programming
Visual Studio comes with an interesting tool for unit testing, but for C++ we have to use C++\CLI to develop tests. In this article we discover a simple technique to avoid all of the drawbacks generated by using C++\CLI.
Microsoft AMPs Up C++
C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism will aid developers in building massively parallel applications.
Switching to MVVM
Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) is a proven design pattern used heavily in many WPF / Silverlight applications. This article focuses on implementing MVVM on existing applications rather than starting a new application. In this article we are going to see how we can take small steps towards MVVM.
Recursion Primer using C++ Part 3
Zeeshan examines all of the Recursion dimensions (compile time/runtime and structure/generative) with the five different types of recursion (Nested Recursion, Binary Recursion, Mutual Recursion, Tail Recursion and Linear Recursion).
MFC Integration with the Windows Transactional File System (TxF)
The Transactional File System (TxF), which allows access to an NTFS file system to be conducted in a transacted manner through extensions to the Windows SDK API. MFC 10, has been extended to support TxF and related technologies. This support allows existing MFC applications to be easily extended to support kernel transactions.
Rubix Cube
This program presents an original way of the famous Rubik's Cube by an assembly of 27 multi-colored cubies isolated in the space. Even during its deformations, it allows a 3D vision of the cube thanks to the basic MFC graphic functions. This simulation can also rapidly calculate a solution to reordering the Cube.
ISO Finalizes C++ Update
After eight years of development, the programming language update will likely be released later this year.
Programming the Windows Transactional File System (TxF)
The Transactional File System (TxF) supports a number of advanced features that allow full control over data consistency and transaction commitment. In this C++ tutorial, transacted directory operations will be covered, demonstrating the ease with which directory consistency can be guaranteed using the TxF.
A Developer Introduction to the Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM) and Windows Transactional File ...
The use of transactions to ensure data consistency has long been associated with data maintained in relational database systems. With the Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM) introduced in Windows Vista, transaction support is available at the operating-system level, and Windows components like the Transactional File System (TxF) and Transactional Registry (TxR) allows developers to interact with these resources in a transactional manner.
Programming the Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM) API
The Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM) provides a simple API for developers to create, query, commit and abort transactions. Various Windows resource managers such as the Transactional File System (TxF) can be managed with KTM transactions. Read on to learn more...
Advanced C++ Listcontrol
Use your C++ Programming skills to create a special list control that allows a control to be inserted in a particular cell.
Faster Microsoft C++ Programming With The MFC Class Wizard
During the glory days of MFC and ATL in the 1990s and early 2000s, The Visual C++ class wizard was a highly-used and useful IDE tool that simplified life for developers. The re-introduction of the class wizard, after the absence of a decade, demonstrates commitment to the 'glory day's' ideal and adds simplicity to class management tasks inside the IDE.
