Linux has a feature called namespaces, which let you give a different "view" of the filesystem to different processes. In Windows terms, this would be useful for example if you had a legacy program "floyd" that always loaded its configuration from C:\floyd\floyd.ini. If Windows had namespaces, you could write a wrapper script which wou...

I currently have a small socket server that I'm trying to convert to a web server. Basically it dumps XML to anyone connecting to it. At the moment, it's not a web server as it listens to a non-web port (1337). I know that both 80 and 8080 are accepted web ports, but none of those are free on the machine I'm going to use. Are there a...
The object is essentially BYTEs of dynamic length. What's the easiest way to implement a send/receive mechanism? I got a tip follows but have no idea how to roll this protocol myself: Just remember that pipes, like sockets, don't guarantee that everything you put in the pipe will come out the other end in the same number of...
I have a process that feeds a piece of hardware (data transmission device) with a specific buffer size. What can I reasonable expect from the windows scheduler windows to ensure I do not get a buffer underflow? My buffer is 32K in size and gets consumed at ~800k bytes per second. If I fill it in 16k byte batches that is one batch every...
Hi My organisation produces a suite of Windows applications that make use of networking, and so when users run our software for the first time, the Windows Firewall (if it is running) brings up a pop-up, informing the user that our app(s) are trying to use the network, prompting the user to allow or deny access. This occurs with plenty...

Usually, when an application writes to one of it's files on disk, the file modified timestamp changes. Sometimes, and in my case it is an application written in ProvideX (a Business Basic derivative i believe) doing the writing, the modified timestamp does not change after a write. A program like MyTrigger will not pick up on the write...
Is it possible to trigger Windows' "flash the task bar button X times or until the window comes to the foreground" behavior from a batch file? I'm trying to call the user's attention to a long-running script upon completion. Using an external program to trigger the flashing is fine, as long as it doesn't require an install (i.e. the ex...

I have a WCF server using a netTcpBinding and a client. When I run them locally they work fine. If I put the server on a Windows Server 2008 machine and try to run it, it fails unless I change the address to localhost, but no clients can connect to it.
