.net in C++

[Schadenfroh]

If I make use of .net functions, like this code sample in VC++, is it possible to set VC++ up in such a way that it can compile and then run without the .NET framework installed on the target system?

Thanks

A search for static compilation of .NET turns this up. No idea if it's any good.

Are you simply looking to manipulate the registry? I can give you some regedit suggestions.

No. You use .NET classes, you need the .NET runtime.

Well... You COULD, if you rewrite every .Net class called in your program. However, this is the correct answer without a lot of code rewriting.

This same technique will allow you to run windows programs without windows! 😉

Ask RedSquirrel how his mySQL library is working out! :laugh:

I gave up on it as i had touble finding detailed documentation on the protocol and the password hash functions then put another couple hours of troubleshooting and ended up getting mysql++ working.

I did rewrite lot of .net stuff such as DateTime so that it's portable though. Basically anything I find myself rewriting each time i make a program, I just write a base header for it so I can use it on any platform. My DateTime is actually similar to php's time and uses the same formatting for time, so that it is "standard" to an existing implimentation.

For mysql I ended up writing a mysql++ wraper class though, as mysql++ is sensitive to crashes, so I have error checking built in the class.

One of these days I really want to write a thread class as well, but pthreads is fairly simple on it's own so probably no point in having a wraper for it.

Is this for school or work? Is it early into the project? Why MFC or .Net?

Kind of an interesting question as the .net classes for registry access are probably wrappers for advapi.dll calls.
