Question

I have added a resource in my project. Its size is 4.096 byte.
i need to assign it to DWORD because 3rd argument of WriteFile() needs it.

WriteFile(hFile, pExeResource,size, &bytesWritten, NULL);

So i cast it like this:

UPDATE2: DWORD bootsize = 4096; //and still warns me
But i get this warning. can you plesae help me?

Answer 1

I think this is a combination of regional/language differences along with C-syntax.

I assume you mean 4.096 to be 4,096 with a comma separator. (Due to regional/language differences, you probably use . instead of ,.)

In C/C++, you don’t use the separators. Just do this instead:

DWORD bootsize = (DWORD)4096;
