Hi Greg,
[quote user="Greg Pei"]You answer explains why we see discrepancy between OpenRoad Designer and Microstation Connect. [/quote]
I agree it can be a bit confusing, because depending on a target platfomr, different VS versions (C++ compilers) have to be used:
- MicroStation CE (from the original release to Update 4) and OpenRoads Designer (current version): Visual Studio 2013
- MicroStation CE Update 5: Visual Studio 2015
Because applications like OpenRoads Designer or AECOsim Building Deisgner are built on top MicroStation platform, I guess the next ORD version will also require Visual Studio 2015, so the ddevelopment will become simpler.
[quote user="Greg Pei"]we appear to be able to avoid the problem by using Microsoft File API directly just not fstream.[/quote]
Because it seems to be a problem of standard C++ library and not MicroStation Did you try to isolate the code and compile it as independent Visual Studio C++ project?
With regards,
Jan
