I have an ASP.NET application originally deployed to a .Net 1.1 Framework on Windows 2000 server which i'm now using on a Windows 2008 Server using 2.0.50727.

Solutions? It seems like this should be one of those things that has a ...
Hi all, First off, I know that ~/ is the home directory. CDing to ~ or ~/ takes me to the home directory. However, cd ~X takes me to a special place, where X seems to be anything. In bash, if I hit "cd ~" and hit tab, it shows a bunch of possible ~X options like ~mail and ~postgres and ~ssh. Going to those folders and doing a pwd sh...

Does Qt have any platform-independent functionality to accept paths like "~/myfile"? I know about wordexp, but it would be nice with a platform-independent wrapper. Edit: Thank you all for the responses. "~/myfile" was just an example. What I am looking for is functionality to handle file-paths as you would be able to write on the com...
Hi, im using linux with gedit which has the wonderful habit of creating a temp file with a tilde at the end for every file I edit. im trying to move all of these files at once to a different folder using the following: find . -iname “*.php~” -exec mv {} /mydir \; However, its now giving me syntax errors, as if it were searching thro...

Linq to Entities uses the ObjectQuery which implements IQueryable. I normally use the IQueryable methods to filter through my data but today I needed to create a special LIKE statement. The framework keeps thinking its smart and "escaping" my wildcard "%" with the tilde which rendered my special LIKE statement null and void. So after dig...

I have a variable in my bash script whose value is something like this: ~/a/b/c Note that it is unexpanded tilde. When I do ls -lt on this variable (call it $VAR), I get no such directory.
