Hello, I am new to C++ windows programming and have only taken 1 class in c++ in my life (I have experience with other languages and OOP).
I'm using Visual C++ 2008. and my project is created by the wizard for a Windows Forms Application. (I'm guessing this means CLI or whatever that is)
I am trying to make a program that has a small text "database" that reads in to a 2 dimensional [100][2] array. the data reads in and also outputs as it should. Eventually, the program ends (seems like after only 30 'events' on the form). the debugger always give me an exit error when the program freezes.
The program '[2716] Project_1.exe: Managed' has exited with code -805306369 (0xcfffffff).
I have looked everywhere online and cannot find an answer to this.
when I look at the taskmanager during execution, the memory seems to go up in small increments when I have do anything on the form (even just move the mouse). the program always freezes when the memory gets to about 30,000 kb. this seems REALLY small, so I don't think it's a memory leak.
Here's the code for the header file that has pretty much everything but the functions. I'm sorry if this seems long
//beginning of file
int items[100][2];
int pictureData[9][4];
int readFromFile();
int writeToFile();
int setLocation(int idnum, int location);
int getLocation(int idnum);
int readLocData();
