Starting again with VC++2008

[Si]

Hello Everyone

Long time no see :)

I'm wanting to be able to program filters again so I downloaded VC++2008 and tried loading in one of my old projects (Shiftwrap).

It seemed to load OK (asked if I wanted to convert a few a things) and then I tried building the project.

But I can't find any .dll file in the output folders :(

(closest thing was a file called ShiftWrap.dll.intermediate.manifest which I've no idea what that is :) )

Could I have a hand to get back into the filter production business please :)

regards

You can also try VS 2010 RC, final will be available in 14 days.

Unfortunately my time machine is in the shop for repairs at the moment :p

You don't need your time machine for the RC, even beta 2 was robust enough.

Found the dll :)
It is being saved in the old location where I used to store my projects and not the one where the project is being compilied from!

If anyone knows where this path is held in the configuration I'd be most grateful to know it :)

Visual Studio writes the project result in the field specified as 'Output file' in the project settings
for DLLs and EXEs, this will be found in the linker > General section.
for LIBs, this will be found in the librarian > General section

for DLLs and EXEs, this will be found in the linker > General section.

Can't find anything in Project > Properties that seems to mention linker :stupid:

Could you be a bit more precise to help an old codger out :)

Look here:

Note that "$(OutDir)" and "$(ProjectName)" are placeholders that will be replaced by MSVC. You don't need to use them, but they usually are quite handy.

Also when you are creating a LIB (static library), you will have to look at "Liberian" instead of "Linker". For EXE's and DLL's it looks like above...

Done - Ta :)
(I was selecting Project > Properties when I was highlighting the Solution tab and not the Project name (in bold) below it

Now - all I need to remember is what a byte is :)
