God I love this business. For the first time I am doing what they said you could do in .NET but I've never done or seen done before - two languages in the same solution.
And one of them is C++. Really a new experience. I am studying VC++ as fast as I can and trying to catch on to the whole Linking/compiling universe it inhabits and just where everything goes if using the VS2010 IDE (using VS2012 is not an option for this particular project as it just complicates the C++ side)
Using Boost 1.54 and a whole lot of other stuff I'd never heard of as of July 4.
I am going to be using QuickFAST (an opensource C++ project with a dotnet wrapper that decodes and deserializes feeds from financial markets that use the FAST/FIX protocol) and it isan adventure.
Since I'm on the UT a lot I thought I check to see if we had any VC++ gurus in the house and if posting questions here was going to be useful. ( I also hang out on Stackoverflow, of course and QuickFAST has a very nice Google group)
Now I think I should see if there is VC++ section of UT that I've just alwasy had turned off...

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
