I am using a macro to export a table in a Microsoft Access database to a csv file in order to import into a mysql database. I ended up using a batchfile that would place a marker in the text file before the exporting took place, and then place everything after the last marker into a new file.

Once upon a time, a young, naive engineer thought it would be a good idea to separate out some of the functionality for his app into a COM component, written in C#. Visual studio had all the tools to do that, right? .NET was practically made for this, right? HA! He said, this will be easy. I'll have decent separation of components, ...
Most of my recent programming has been on 32-bit Windows using C/C++/C#/VB6 . Lately, my customer are asking if my code will run on 64-bit Windows. I'm wondering what legacy features I might be using that will break on 64-bit Windows? What are some real-world issues I need to think about and worry about? Obviously, I will test my code ...
I'd like to communicate with a USB device under Windows and Java but I can't find a good library to do so. I don't want the user to have to install any extra hardware or device drivers to make this work. That is, I want to be able to interact with USB just like other Windows applications do. I am familiar with jUSB and JSR 80 but both s...

I have a windows exe app that used to sends packets to a server in the clear. This app (lets call it the client app) is definitely close sourced, but some clever hacker hex-edited the binary, and made it send packets that are scrambled. Now, obviously, those packets are scrambled in a way that is decipherable (otherwise the server would...
I'm looking for an easy way to find the process tree (as shown by tools like Process Explorer), in C# or other .Net language. It would also be useful to find the command-line arguments of another process (the StartInfo on System.Diagnostics.Process seems invalid for process other than the current process). I think these things can only ...

Say you were mainly a C-syntax like programmer and Linux systems administrator, and you were tasked with creating some simple automation tasks on Windows (monitoring of back-up files, process monitoring, ...).
