I try to change the icon for the application file in the debug folder. In the properties, there is no choise where you can do this but if I create a shortcut of this application file, then it is...

Yes ofcourse, you are right. I forgot the quotes:

"C:\"

Now it works.

Thank you !!

I dont know if I did, I dont think so :-O

Okay. In the Configuration Manager, I will then choose:

Active solution configuration: Release
Configuration: Release

If I do this, it will create files under C:\

Now comes another...

If you have done a program in VC++ 2008, what is the procedure to do a release and a "Finished" program of this.

In the "Form1 Property Pages", I have under General choosed:

This is true, I am checking for possibilities and in the end, I will be that careful to see what can be possible or it wont be, how to define things etc...

You could use the File::Exists to first check if that file exists and then it will not through an exception.


String^ FileOne = "C:\\File1.txt";
String^ FileTwo = "C:\\File2.txt";

if(...

Yes, that would be more than nice.
I think this would be the complete testcode if I dont miss anything out.


I think this would be the complete testcode and see what this MessageBox returns. ...

For the moment I am getting the computers name with this code, but perheps there could be others and better ways to get a computers unique "ID".
I am searching for a way to identify a computer so a...

thank you ArkM, I thought of that perheps can be a scenario that I haven´t thought about. I red about the ToLowerInvariant() and it seems to be the right approach for this purpose.

I use this command to check for the Computername wich returns:
