I was able to run it in Vista with some kind of manifest file, but this...

Hello, We have to learn VB.NET for the semester, my experience lies mainly with C# - not that this should make a difference to this particular problem. I've used just about the most simple way to save a file using the .NET framework, but Windows 7 won't let me save the file anywhere (or anywhere that I have found yet). Here is the code...
Is there a way in Windows using C# to record a sample of the stereo mix? In other words, record all pings, beeps and music being played via any application? I've had a look at NAudio which will record the microphone as it's source, but I can't figure out how to point it at Windows' stereo mix? Or, if anyone knows, any pointers on how t...

I'm trying to find all the windows of ANY kind that are open (and have a taskbar 'button'). I have no problems finding the list processes/hWnd's, and then cycling through those, but how do I determine if a process/hwnd has a window open? (even if minimized). I've tried doing different combinations of the window parameters (such as WS...
I found this code for disabling the task manager in Windows XP. It works :) But does it work in Windows 7, too? The registry path is the same, I've checked this. But maybe there are some restrictions!? Thanks in advance! ...
I have a C++ application (quite complex, multiple projects) in Visual Studio 2008, that produces a single dll. Recently I switched to Windows 7, but had previously been compiling under Windows XP. Suddenly the dll in question cannot be loaded by another application, i.e. on a machine running Windows 2003 Server. I've been trying variou...
Is it possible to add other menu items to other pinned applications right click menu in the Windows 7 taskbar? I'm using .NET, but I will accept P/Invokes as well. I've been reading the documentation on the API, and can't seem to find a way to do this. I just thought I'd check here as a last ditch effort to find a way. ...

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition and Windows 7 Professional x64. The issue is that when I try to debug my website project, I get th...

Windows 7 with Aero Glass basically looks quite nice I think. But it has some major drawbacks regarding readability: I cannot easily tell whether a window is currently active or not. I've been tweaking the colours and transparency levels a lot recently but the only safe indicator is the close button: it's red when the window is active, i...

I have a WCF client (running on Win7) pointing to a WebSphere service. All is good from a test harness (a little test fixture outside my web app) but when my calls to the service originate from my web project one of the calls (and only that one) is extremely slow to deserialize (it takes minutes VS seconds) and not just the first time. ...
