I always forget to check what's going on in IIS on our webservers, and am wondering: is there some stupid applet or something that always runs locally that I can click on to check event logs and IIS logs on a remote machine? Mark ...
Apologies if already answered. None of the listed answers seemed satisfactory. I'm using WAMP to build a site (obviously windows). Folder for images needs permissions turned on so they appear on the site. Everytime I use "Properties" on the folder, it reverts back to read only. Altering things in the advanced toolbars and trying to make...
I'm writing a Windows application. How can I tell when a screenshot is being taken of it? I read about how to detect the hotkey being pressed, but I'm more worried about the case where every 100 ms or so another program is taking screenshots of it. Namely, I'm trying to notice when someone creates another program (say a python one using ...
What happens when you call WaitForSingleObject() on a handle you've created with CreateFile() or _get_osfhandle()? For reasons not worth explaining I would like to use WaitForSingleObject() to wait on a HANDLE that i've created with _get_osfhandle(fd), where fd comes from a regular call to _open(). Is this possible? I have tried it in ...
I have tried C++ Builder 2009 and Visual Studio 2008. VCL seems much more friendlier than MFC. Are there alternates which are superior than these two? PS: Please do not suggest freebies or open source IDEs. I really am interested in commercial IDE's only. ...
Hi, I'm looking for some sort of partition management library (preferably a Python one, but anything works) that will function on both Windows and Linux. (For working with USB devices, specifically, but any harddisk tool should do) We'd much rather not implement two different libraries as that makes it harder to maintain, but so far we...
I commonly use os.path.exists() to check if a file is there before doing anything with it. I've run across a situation where I'm calling a executable that's in the configured env path, so it can be called without specifying the abspath. Is there something that can be done to check if the file exists before calling it? (I may fall back ...
Other than MongoDB and Memcached, what key-value stores run on Windows? Most of the ones I've seen seem to only run on Linux (Hypertable, Redis, Lightcloud).

I am using a huge data-base of images. This database gets duplicated every time I create a new test using the image data-base. So in Linux, I use Link file to a common database set. Now, I am in Windows, Is there any way we can use the Linux link to files or some equivalent in Windows. Or using some relative file path is the only way ou...
Hi all, I'm looking at getting into ActiveX development and hopefully make a couple browser plug-ins by the end of things. I'm a seasoned WinAPI developer who has stayed away from such wrappers as MFC and ATL in the past, so I have virtually no experience in either area. However, in searching for tutorials on creating ActiveX controls in...
My program has multiple threads. I am using messagebox to display information to the user. Is there anyway (or an alternative to message box) that I can have another thread update/change the message-box display text while the message box is still on the screen and visible by the user? ...
Where can i find the list of commands at command line in MS DOS? ...
Hi, I am trying to use values i declare inside a UserControl class to change things inside the SurfaceWindow class. Now what i know so far is that i have to use a DependencyProperty to get the value from the UserControl and then put it inside a public string. public string MapValue { get { return (string)GetValue(MapValue...
I've implemented a kind of 'heartbeat solution' and I'd like to see what happen when the network 'goes down', in real conditions, specially if it happens when there is no traffic on the socket. Problems: - I've got only one computer; - I'm on windows/java; I guess that simply unplugging the network cable/deactivating the network card ...
We're serving our source code using VisualSVN running on Windows Server 2003. Recently, we split a portion of a project into a new project in it's own repository, and then linked it back to the original project using svn:externals. Since then, we've been having issues when we try to commit files with Subclipse. The error we're getting i...
Is there a way in C# to check if an object is suspend? I have a TreeView that I need to know if it is still suspend. myTreeView.BeginUpdate(); myTreeView.SuspendLayout(); // Do Stuff. myTreeView.EndUpdate(); myTreeView.ResumeLayout(); Because i have this code in a recursive function I want to know if the TreeView is already be...
Within our company we use a proprietary template engine, which stores its templates in a MySQL database. We recently developed a WebDAV interface for this, which allows us to use standard tools to edit them, instead of a nasty <textarea>. The standard operating-system webdav clients aren't great though, so for OS/X we went with Coda, wh...
I'd like to get the parent directory of a file from within a .bat file. So, given a variable set to "C:\MyDir\MyFile.txt", I'd like to get "C:\MyDir". In otherwords, the equivalent of dirname() functionality in a typical UNIX environment. Is this possible? ...
I like to emulate the normal behavior of C-Del/C-Backspace on Windows in VIM. Currently i'm using: imap <C-Del> <C-o>dw imap <C-Backspace> <C-o>db This is close but not perfect. E.g. when trying to delete this from the end of the line foo(1, 2) with C-Backspace, this happens: foo(1, ) How can I solve this? ...
Currently, we manage database (SQL Server) changes with a series of numbered scripts. One folder holds scripts that can only be run once (table alters, data initialization, etc). Another holds all scripts that can be run multiple times without fear of them destroying anything (stored procedures, functions, etc). Typically, when we need ...
