C++ Expert to convert Visual Studio 2008 project to Visual Studio 2022 (Community Edition)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Hello,
I have a Visual Studio 2008 project (9.0) that I want to be converted into a newer Visual Studio Edition (preferably Visual Studio 2022 - 17.0 – Community Edition).
The solution has 8 projects, 5 custom-made and 3 open source (that need to be upgraded as well to newer versions).
The custom projects are:
- Simple configuration dialog – gets a few parameters from UI and saves them into a ini file section and executes a command line
- Simple uninstall app – checks a password (calls a URL – that is now HTTP link – needs to be HTTPS) and perform a set of actions
- A pretty simple library project where functions used across the projects
- A pretty simple master loader (DLL – no UI) that also calls a URL – that is now HTTP link – needs to be HTTPS and perform a set of actions (like starting child process and monitor that it is running)
- A complex multithreaded DLL (the child process) that performs different OS interactions including calls to URL (POST) – that is now HTTP – needs to be HTTPS
The additional libraries:
- CURLib – needs to be upgraded to support HTTPS
- JSonLib – the HTTP (that needs to be upgraded to HTTPS) communication is based on JSON
- SQLLiteLib – not sure that it is still in use – if so, needs upgrades
The very important aspects is that I need all the dependencies to be statically linked – not dynamically, so the executables files to run on any Windows machines (7 and newer 8,8.1,10). The existing solution does that but does not communicate with the server using HTTPS and this is a MUST for the newer version.
Basically, the requirements are to upgrade the solution and to rewrite a function that it is called SendRequestToServerCurl that does the HTTP communication with the server, which needs to be HTTPS. As from the function name states – CURL library is used.
I am looking for someone with experience is doing similar tasks and who is able to complete the project in matter of days.
Thank you!
