C# file read/write fileshare doesn't appear to work

Hi, My question is based off of inheriting a great deal of legacy code that I can't do very much about. Basically, I have a device that will produce a block of data. A library which will call the device to create that block of data, for some reason I don't entirely understand and cannot change even if I wanted to, writes that block of...

Reading hidden share in C#

So I have a small C# app that needs to periodically check the contents of directories on multiple machines on the network. I thought I could just read \hostname\C$ as a directory path, but with the normal Directory class there doesn't seem to be a way to authenticate against the other servers so you can access the hidden share. I'm sure...

Playback large files on Windows Media Player during download

Hi, My question is about writing a video file to the hard drive that is being downloaded from the network and playing it at the same time using Windows Media Player.

Accessing files beyond MAX_PATH in C#/.NET

BACKGROUND I need to write a tool using .NET version 2.0 at highest (using something off the shelf is not an option for this client for political, commercial, and confidentiality/trust reasons) to migrate files from one server to another over the network.

Hyper-V File Shares over Wide Ethernet Dramatically Slower

We recently moved a file share machine that runs on 2008 hyper-v to our data center from our local network and now it is periodically extremely slow. The networks are connected via wide ethernet. Pinging the server returns in less than 1ms and tracert shows only 1 hop again at less than 1ms. Other services provided from that locatio...

Regular Expression validating hyperlink for export to Excel

A user may enter "\my.fileshare.com", "http://www.msdn.com", or "In my file cabinent". These inputs are exported to a Excel file.

C++ with Eclipse without a tool chain?

I have a C++ project that has to build on Linux but I don't have a Linux machine set up to run any kind of GUI (they all have no monitors).

Nant - Check if a remote share already exists

We are using Nant to deploy an application and need to ensure that a share is created during the process. We use psexec and net share to create the share but this fails and stops Nant if the share already exists. Is there any way to detect that a share exists already? Either before trying to create the share or being able to detect t...

How to implement iTunes built-in App "File Sharing" feature.
