I have an application that manages patient demographic information. Along with this data a user can scan a picture of a patient and assign that picture to a patient. When the user clicks the scan button a separate application is opened as a dialog in order to scan the image. When running this on XP everything worked fine. The imaging app...
My friend accidentally bought a laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. He figured out how to install IIS on it, but it doesn't seem to have either the management console or the admin tools. Is there any way for him to configure a site or import an IIS 6 config file? EDIT: "Windows Vista Home Edition" --> "Windows Vista Home Basic...

This may not be strictly programming related but more OS-structure related. Running Vista 32 bit on a brand new laptop with 3GB of memory, Running idle the system consumes about 40% of its memory. Other then the fact that this is outrageous on its own right, the OS should be able to fit all of the processes nicely into memory and not ne...
Quite a few comments to answers in a different post gave me the impression that a lot of things regarding standard folders (%APPDATA%; %TEMP%) in Vista are different from XP, which should of course be taken into account when developping software that will have to run under Vista at some point. But in my company, I do not see that happe...
I'm using: FileInfo(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles) + @"\MyInstalledApp" In order to determine if a program is detected on a users machine (it's not ideal, but the program I'm looking for is a right old kludge of a MS-Dos application, and I couldn't think of another method). On XP and 3...

Hi, I am working on a program that makes RPC calls where the client and the server are running on the same machine.

I have an automated test running on my program that generates some large MPG files along with other files. After running the test, I have the script clean up after itself. The other files (a mix of binary and text files) are removed with no problems. The MPG files, however, don't get deleted. If I try and manually delete the MPG file...
The explorer control in Windows Vista is very handy and I would like to be able to incorporate it in an application written in WPF.

This is happening on Vista. I created a new dialog based MFC project to test this. I added a CEdit control to my dialog. I called SetLimitText to let my CEdit receive 100000 characters. I tried both: this->m_cedit1.SetLimitText(100000); UpdateData(FALSE); and static_cast<CEdit*>(GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1))->LimitText(100000); I placed ...
