Another minor detail that bit me for a few minutes today. I'm posting this so I'll see it and remember, and possibly lodge it in other people's consciousness. Using Visual Studio 2005, adding an existing .cs file to a C# project will cause a copy of that...
By a staggering margin, most of my problems integrating C++/CLI code into my C#-based project has been deployment problems. Without fail, every integration or test deployment will be plagued with inexplicable problems. I'll try to list a few, with their...
