Hi, My dream is to query the network card setting on WIN using python. What I need is to query if the NIC is set to full duplex and if it is set to 1000Mb full. WMI class named Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration doesn't provide these info.Alternatively a cmd command line sulution can be insteresting as well (via calling from python). Th...
Microsoft's <tchar.h> defines _stprintf as 'swprintf' if _UNICODE is defined, and 'sprintf' if not. But these functions take different arguments! In swprintf, the second argument is the buffer size, but sprintf doesn't have this. Did somebody goof? If so, this is a big one. How can I use _stprintf in my programs, and have them work with...
I need my winform program to run as another user (it will run under task scheduler) and not the logged on user. I suspect the trouble is my app is gui based and not command line based (does this make a difference) so the gui needs to load do its thing and then close. Is this possibly under XP or Vista? Thanks ...
I was contemplating switching to Linux for C++ development, coming from a Windows environment. Is this a bad idea? My workplace uses Windows and Visual Studio for our projects (some C# and java too, but right now I'm only developing in C++). If they decide to put me on a C# project, would development still possible (mono?)? What are the...
Is there a way to force SVN to be case insensitive? We have an issue where a user commits from a linux environment with files say "file.ext" and "File.ext". Works just fine. The problem, however, is when a user on a MAC OSX or Windows attempts an update/checkout. The two files are considered the same and the action fails in error. ...
I have a Windows executable that is launched from within a service by calling CreateProcessWithLogonW() with a set of specfied user details. This works fine and the process starts as expected. However, when this process tries to launch other processes itself, currently just using CreateProcess() these start then die straight away - they...
I have been trying to find out how to bind data to a System.Windows.Forms.DomainUpDown() control. Currently I have only come up with: private void Init() { List<string> list = new List<string>(); list = get4000Strings(); //4000 items foreach (string item in list) { ...
In French, typography requires that we use narrow non-breaking space (U+202F) at various places (“Comme ça !”). Apparently every browser on windows fails to support that and they all display a weird character instead. This works on most browsers on Mac OS X as well as Linux. Does anyone know how to make Windows browsers render it corre...

I have user control in .Net where I use a hit test in WndProc to allow resizing it in runtime with the mouse. The problem is that after the hit test succedes (mouse press, drag to resize, mouse release) the control jumps upwards in the Z order and ruins it position in the form. I need the hit test since it's a very customized control. ...
I'm currently working on a test plan and ran into a possible problem and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. The application uses SQL Server and it can connect between the different versions for compatibility (2000, 2005, 2008). Well i'm trying to set up some test machines and was wondering how I should set things up. Shoul...
I used the one-click installer to install 1.86 a while back. I wanted to upgrade to 1.9 but since there's no one-click installer for 1.9 I just downloaded the 1.91 binary and overwrote my 1.86 install. Didn't work so well. I got errors all over the place afterwards. What's the proper way to upgrade (for a dummy, i.e. me)? The downloa...
Why not use the Windows scheduler? I have several applications that have to run at certain times according to business rules not the typical every weekday at 1pm. I also need a way for the applications to provide feedback of their progress so that I can have rules that notify me when the applications are running slow or aren't even run...

Anybody know how to determine what DLL's a binary depends on using programmatic methods? To be clear, I am not trying to determine the DLL dependencies of the running exec, but of any arbitrary exec (that may be missing a required DLL).
