<p style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">Shawn Farkas of the CLR team recently posted a great message on the .NET Development forum about asking good questions.<br /><br />A lot of what he says is also applicable to Visual C++ so I'm posting a link here:<br /><a target="_blank" title="/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=81136" href="http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=81136"><br />http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=81136</a><br /><br />I'll just reiterate one of his comments: whenever you post a question please provide as much detail as you can. <br /><br />- Paste in the full text of any error message you see.<br /><br />- If you suspect that the problem is in your code then provide enough context so that other people can work out what is going on.<br /><br />- If you are asking a more general "How do I ...?" question then let us know which version of Visual C++ you are using and also whether or not you are targeting the .NET runtime.<br /><br />Keep those questions coming!</p>© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
