Error c4996 on Visual Studio 2010, windows 7.

Asked By Sandra R Bailey 10 points N/A Posted on - 01/03/2015

I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 on my laptop that has Windows 7 installed in it. I am trying to use the string copy function in it and when I use the strncpy function, it outputs an error. In the previous Visual Studio version it used to be a warning. How can I make Visual Studio output it as a warning and not an error? Is it possible?

Hello Sandra R Bailey,  I am sorry to say that this problem can not be resolved. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 shows the string copy function as an error always. Yes, I know in older version this was an error, But now this updated version takes it as an error. So it can't be fixed anyway.
