I'm rather new to C++/CX, and right now have an old C project which I need to port into C++/CX.
The output are flushed into text-file or standard output, but it's not that important right now since I can just take them into the Message Dialog there.
My question is that, do you have any tips for porting this project?
I just tried to copy a C file into CPP but failed to compile.
I mean, do I need to wrap the old functions into some kind of Class structure now?
Thanks in advance!

For the differences between C and C++, a starting point is David Tribble's "C99 vs C++98". Without any more details (original C environment, current C++ environment, some details on exact error messages) it is next to impossible to answer the question.

I'm really confused when I'm writing a driver? just need to know which file should I write first header file, or the configuration file otherwise the code file. just for example keypad driver using C. if there any resources to understand more these steps for writing driver I will be very thankful
Be it a driver development or application development,
Very first step is be clear with requirement,
Then have a proper design and then go for coding.
Note that coding without design is a disaster.
Which file to start with is your question?
If you are so much confused just start with code file.
Keep entire code in that file.
Later on you can re arrange your code to different files like header file , Config file , code file etc...

I downloaded netbeans for C/C++. I followed every instructions and downloaded MinGW, and msys and added those to the environmental path. While trying to write a simple program it gives me warning that says "cannot find include file <stdio.h>". It says that for every include directive i seem to use in the program.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem here?
UPDATE: Turns our I did not install base package from MingW. After messing around with it a little bit, I got it working. Thanks everyone!

What are configuration files? What are their use in c programs?
Additional question: What does it mean to have an error which states "Cannot open configuration file"?
A configuration file could be any file which the program uses to persistently store options, state, or data between executions. The concept is not specific to C and is probably universal to most programming languages. It is impossible, without knowing exactly what program you are dealing with, to figure out what they are, where they would be stored, or why the program wouldn't be able to open it.

I am writing a dissertation for university final year.
I want to put a large amount of source code on a DVD for the appendix.
95% of code is written by me, but some code is copy and pasted from samples and taken from forums.
Do I have to label each bit of code that is not mine or something?
What would I write if I don't know who's code it is anymore?
You should definitely cite your source if the source specified you do so. However, if you are taking samples and adapting them to your environment you usually don't have to cite it (as long as it has changed in a significant way).
Usually, I try to include a comment in my code if I just copy and paste something, even if it is free and open to copy. However, this is more of a preference than a specification.
In the end, it is up to the people you got the code from (if they specified a license for the code) and your advisor at the university.

How would i licence my c command line program, e.g limited functionality without a serial number?
Depends what licensing means ...
Write the license text into the source code resp. show the license text when installing or starting the program.
If you want prevent users from copying the program, things get complicated, you might need some hardware dongle.
Or just make it GPL and give the source code away ...
Include a EULA (End User License Agreement) in your program which users will have to accept while installing/using your application. You can get lots of sample EULAs in Internet. Replace the Names appropriately. But remember, you are gonna do things at your own risk. Read the EULA well, modify it to suit your needs.
