Hi All: I am having the following error. Before the code was not compiling and I got the following error: d:\Profiles\r65136\Desktop\lesson31\MilkshapeModel.cpp(126): error C2664: 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits>::read' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'byte *' to 'char *' with [ _Elem=char, _Traits=std::char_traits<char> ] So I converted pBuffer to (char *) pBuffer, I type casted. inputFile.read((char *)pBuffer, fileSize ); Then it compiled but now I am getting the following error when it runs. Lesson31.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point SetPixelFormat could not be located in the dynamic link library OpenGL32.DLL. If anyone has any insight please help me!

Your code compiled ---and ran--- unmodified for .net2003, which compiler are you using?
I am using the built in compiler from Visual Studio.net 2003. What do I need to change from Lesson 31 in order for it to work with Visual Studio.
Hi yes I am using the built in compiler with Visual Studio.net 2003. Do I need to make any other changes? How can I get it to work? I just took the lesson 31 from the NEHe website, downloaded the one for the Visual Studio.net and then tried to run it, and have been unsuccessful, please help!
I actually used the first link for lesson 31. http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/vc/lesson31.zip

Upgraded the vc6 proj to .net solution.
copy your source.
compile, ran, it worked.

Sorry I didn't go into it further but thats what I did and it worked, possibly a bug in the .net version. good luck.
How do I do this: Upgraded the vc6 proj to .net solution? Please help, thanks!
real simple, .net does it for you. open the .dsw file.
Hi:

Ok so I did that, and I get the following error. Did you have apstring.cpp and apstring.h? If so how did you get it?


c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\fstream.h(220): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'apstring.cpp': No such file or directory
The original code calls for fstream.h - vc6 style.
Your code you posted doesn't, it uses fstream - no .h extension. Did you copy the source you posted and try that?
Ok so now I am getting the following errors:

Any ideas?
