I cannot modify this program, and need some way of automating it. How can I grab the cmd.exe window and send it data and make it think the user is typing it? I'm using C#, I ...

I'm using a SaveFileDialog to let a user pick a directory and filename on a removeable drive. Afterwards I create that file, write to it, and close it again. By then the file itself is not locked (editable, deleteable), but I can't eject the drive because windows claims it is still in use. I have to exit the application before an eject ...
I'm currently enabling JSON calls to my web services using the ScriptService attribute. The problem is that one of my classes references a second class and .Net is not picking up and writing out the JavaScript for the second class. As a workaround I can write a dummy method that just returns the second class. Then .Net writes the JS...

Some of them depend on an additional library, which I would have a hard time pushing thro...

I have a very thin interface that's going to define one method. Should I require the type parameter on the class definition? public interface ISomethingFun<T> { void Do(T item); } or method definition? public interface ISomethingFun { void Do<T>(T item); } What rationale? Is one easier to implement, inherit, or generate dyn...
