I want to get the name of all active process on a Win2000 machine. I know that "tlist -s" is the command, but to use this, the "tlist.exe" has to be extracted from the Win2000 CD-ROM.

A few years back, another clever programmer set up a VB.NET service to print to one of the server's installed printers. The job queried a database table to see if it had any print requests, which specify the file to print and the name of the printer to send it to. The job constructs a 3-part command line incantation and executes it; it...

Now it seems that when we render a smart quote (i.e. ALT+0146 ’) to the screen and then send it back to the SQL Server 2000 database for persistence, the smart quote gets corrupted to - ’ -. My Question: How could ASP server-side code corrupt a smart quote ’ ? EDI...

EDIT: MSDN offered that for IIS 5.0 and earlier, Response.CodePag...
