PRB: CodeView Does Display Source File Contents

This article was previously published under Q59963

SYMPTOMS

An attempt to open a source code file in CodeView fails. CodeView version 4.0 sounds the system bell and refuses to load the source code file. CodeView versions 3.x displays the application in assembly language mode.

CAUSE

The first line of the source code file contains extended ASCII characters (ASCII codes 0-8, 11, 14-31, or 127-255).

RESOLUTION

To use extended characters in your source file, begin the file with a blank line.

MORE INFORMATION

Even though CodeView does not display an application's source code when the source contains extended ASCII characters, you can use CodeView to debug the application in assembly language mode.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
