We're developing something for the Windows platform and we'd like to harness the multiple cores present in PCs nowadays. I know that in VS2010, there is the Concurrency Runtime. It's still on Beta, though. For the meantime that we do need to release quality code now, what is a good option for an API that will allow smooth transition la...
Hello, In an asp.net app, I have a task that ftps some xml files down to a local folder on my computer. I then want to read those files but when they're copied to my local folder, they don't have the Network Service user account set up.

For purposes of testing compression, I need to be able to create large files, ideally in text, binary, and mixed formats. The content of the files should be neither completely random nor uniform. A binary file with all zeros is no good. A binary file with totally random data is also not good. For text, a file with totally random seq...

Suppose I have a socket. What is the difference between these two lines of code? line 1: os.read(some_socket.fileno(), 1024) line 2: some_socket.recv(1024) ...other than the fact that the first one doesn't work on Windows. In other words, can I substitute the second line for the first one? I've got a codebase that hasn't really...
I am building a C# UI to interact with a COM Service (.exe). The VS2005 COM project outputs a valid typelib (TLB), which is referenced by the C# project.
