Visual C++ Project continually out-of-date (winwlm.h macwin32.h rpcerr.h macname1.h missing)

Problem:
In Visual C++ .Net 2003, one of my projects always claimed to be out of date, even though nothing had changed and no errors had been reported in the last build.

Opening the BuildLog.htm file for the corresponding project showed a list of PRJ0041 errors for these files, none of which appear on my system anywhere:
winwlm.h macwin32.h rpcerr.h macname1.h

Each error looks something lik ethis:
MyApplication : warning PRJ0041 : Cannot find missing dependency 'macwin32.h' for file 'MyApplication.rc'. Your project may still build, but may continue to appear out of date until this file is found.

Solution:
Include afxres.h instead of resource.h inside the project's .rc file.

The project's .rc file contained "#include resource.h". Since the resource compiler does not honor preprocessor #ifdef blocks, it will tear through and try to find include files it should be ignoring. Windows.h contains many such blocks. Including afxres.h instead fixed the PRJ0041 warnings and eliminated the "Project is out-of-date" error dialog.

tasklist

Examples:

Show task information on the Cygwin SSH daemon:

C:\>tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq sshd.exe"

Image Name                   PID Session Name     Session#    Mem Usage
========================= ====== ================ ======== ============
sshd.exe                    2248 Console                 0      3,508 K

Show services for each process:

C:\>tasklist /SVC

Image Name                   PID Services
========================= ====== =============================================
System Idle Process            0 N/A
System                         4 N/A
smss.exe                     952 N/A
csrss.exe                   1068 N/A
winlogon.exe                1092 N/A
services.exe                1136 Eventlog, PlugPlay
lsass.exe                   1148 Netlogon, PolicyAgent, ProtectedStorage,
                                 SamSs

Overuse of std::transform

Using std::transform on a simple, NULL-terminated string. This is a horrible perversion of what was simple -- if unattractive -- code:

template <typename t=""> T* ToLower (T* psz)
{
   if (!psz)
       return 0;

   size_t size;

   if (sizeof(T) == 1)
       size = strlen((char *)psz);
   else
       size = wcslen((wchar_t *)psz);

   std::transform(psz, psz + size, psz, tolower);

   return psz;
}

Visual Studio Macros - Header/Source switcher

This code grabs the active file's name, lops off the extension (e.g. '.cpp'), replaces it with the corresponding extension (e.g. '.h'), and attempts to load the new filename.

This should work with .c, .cpp, .cc, .h, .hh, and .hpp files.
