Tool to Check ActiveX Registration and Which VC++ Redistributables are Installed
The GitHub C# Project to Check ActiveX Registration and Which VC++ Redistributables are Installed has been updated. Note: It should contain a pre-compiled executable located in bin\x86\Release (for non .NET programmers).
What are the VC++ “XP” Library Builds?
The Chilkat C/C++ library downloads marked as “XP” for VC++ 2012 and 2013 are compiled using the “XP” platform toolset. In Visual Studio, the toolset is chosen as shown here:
VC++ Link problem: fatal error C1047, “Chilkat*.lib’ was created with an older compiler than other objects; rebuild old objects and libraries”
Regarding the following VC++ link problem: “fatal error C1047: The object or library file ‘c:\Chilkat\libs\x64\ChilkatRel_x64.lib’ was created with an older compiler than other objects; rebuild old objects and libraries” This can be resolved by building without the /LTCG flag turned on. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the /LTCG flag if you are using […]

Using Chilkat in Managed C++
The Chilkat VC++ static libraries are for unmanaged C++ applications. A Managed C++ application (using Microsoft’s Managed Extensions for C++) runs within the .NET Framework and therefore must use the Chilkat .NET assembly. The Chilkat C++ online reference documentation and online examples are for unmanaged C++ applications. For Managed C++, the best choice is to […]
Non-English String Literals in C++ Source Code
When a C++ compiler compiles a C++ source file, it must process the bytes according to a character encoding and that is typically ANSI. ANSI is not a character encoding, it is simply a keyword that says “Use the default multi-byte character encoding for this computer based on its current locale.” Therefore, if your program […]
Utf8 C++ property allows for utf-8 or ANSI “const char *”
All Chilkat C++ classes have a Utf8 property. For example: class CkEmail : public CkObject { public: CkEmail(); virtual ~CkEmail(); … bool get_Utf8(void) const; void put_Utf8(bool b); … const char *addFileAttachment(const char *fileName); … }; The Utf8 property controls how the bytes pointed by “const char *” arguments are interpreted. By default, “const char *” […]
