Hi all, I've kind of coded myself into a pickle on this one. I am writing a custom WPF control which is similar to the "TreeListView" described in This MSDN article as well as many other places on the net. A pretty big pile of this thing is custom at this point, and it's meeting my goals fairly well, except on the virtualization fron...
I'm running an SQL Server express 2005 database inside a guest OS that I'm trying to connect to via a application running on the host. However, I'm not able to connect to the database (I can connect to the database if I run the application inside the guest OS). Both operating systems are Windows XP 64. I'm using bridged networking mod...
Do any current operating systems (windows, linux, BSD) provide drivers that enable user-mode programs to execute partly in the trusted execution mode (isolated from everything else running on the computer)? If so, where can the documentation be found? ...
I'm a developer of a MMO game and currently we're at my company facing some scalability issues which, I think, can be resolved with proper clustering of the game world. I don't really want to reinvent the wheel that's why I think Linux Virtual Server could be a good choice especially with some Level 7 load balancing technique. I'm cur...
Hi! Is there any way to virtualize tooltip in WPF? I have many dataitems displayed on map. When i'm changing template, for example, it takes a lot of time to generate UI for tooltips that are invisible. Maybe wpf supports something for such cind of virtualization? Thanks in advance. ...
I want to setup a x86 Linux Box such that: It uses minimal system resources. Runs SDL, without XWindows Includes sufficient functionality to run QEmu. Basically I simply want it to ONLY be a host for Virtulization and be as "thin" as possible leaving nearly all resources available for the "client" OS. Is there anything like that ava...
May I burn in flames if this has been answered. At work I use a Windows XP Pro machine for my development and at home I use a Macbook Pro. I am thinking of shifting my development environment over to virtual machines using VMWare Fusion (on the mac). My question is, can I open a virtual machine image created on my Mac with my windows co...

I'm planning to build Linux web development server in virtual machine environment on Windows Virtual PC. As I don't have much experience with installing and configuring Linux web servers, I wanted to ask for some advice: What Linux distribution do you recommend for such server? I want the virtual server to look like real hosting enviro...
I'm not planning on doing this right now, as I don't have the experience in this area to even attempt it at the moment, but I'm curious about something. If implementing an operating system from scratch, what would it take to build an application like VirtualBox? Not necessarily as user friendly with a nice GUI or anything, but somethin...
In virtualbox, the screen resolution can be anything - even something strange like 993x451, etc. I tried changing it using pywin32 but I failed:: >>> dm = win32api.EnumDisplaySettings(None, 0) >>> dm.PelsHeight = 451 >>> dm.PelsWidth = 950 >>> win32api.ChangeDisplaySettings(dm, 0) -2L which ends up being: DISP_CHANGE_BADMODE any he...
Hi, I wonder how virtualization software such as VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation works? How can they create a virtual environment that is taken as a separate computer by operating systems? I'm almost sure the answer to this question is very deep, but I'd be well satisfied with basic theory =) Thanks in advance! ...
I'm trying to figure out a way to programatically determine if a copy of windows is running inside a copy of Parallels. I have found this post with very good instructions for determining if Windows is running within VMWare, VirtualPC, or WINE, but I haven't been able to find anything similar for Parallels. How does one go about detecti...
Hi all, I'm currently evaluating the feasibility of using VirtualBox (or VMWare) to deploy the follow project to 10 sites Windows XP MSSQL 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services JBoss to run 1 in-house software that mostly query master data (customers/products) and feed to other software Why I want to do this ? Because the IT s...
I'm on a desktop PC, so I dont need Apache, MYSQL, PHP to run all the time on my main PC. Also I have all the good tools (adobe cs4, etc) on my XP box and they wont run on my Win2000 VM Guest, plus they would require another license even if they did. I'm not sure if its worth the trouble but figured I'd ask before I try to figure out how...
Hi I want to create a Virtual Machine because I need to install a Windows Server OS to use the UDDI feature. I am confused with the two virtual machine available in Microsoft. What is the difference between Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2? ...
I would like a simple description of how to implement a virtualizingstackpanel for an ItemsControl that is databound to an observable collection in my MVVM. I have an ItemsControl instance for each tab in a tab control, and switching tabs becomes VERY slow when the ItemsControl grows larger. What can I do to speed up the app? I open...
I'm wondering how to create a minimal virtual machine that'll be modeled after the Intel 16 bit system. This would be my first actual C project, most of my code is 100 lines or less, but I have the core fundamentals down, read K&R, and understand how things ought to work, so this pretty much is a test of wits. Could anyone guide me in ...
It stands to reason that Visual Studio (.NET compiling and the IDE) would run better on a $5000 server than a $500 desktop. Does anyone have experience running Visual Studio in a virtual machine hosted on a server in this price range, with access via RDP? (Assume modern hardware available for the stated prices.) Obviously, there will b...
Ops: This does not belong to ServerFault because it focuses on Programing Architecture. I have following questions regarding differences between Cloud and Virtualization.. How Cloud is different then Virtualization? Currently I tried to find out pricing of Rackspace, Amazone and all similar cloud providers, I found that our current 6 ...
