Currently, I have a project with a Windows Service. I also created another "Setup Project" which installs the Windows Service. My question is this: Can I add another Windows Service to the same project? (This way, I can use 1 installer, and share some code between the services more easily.) If I can, does that mean when one service e...
We have an installer for our application that must be downloaded and run with administrator privileges, like many other installers. However, the installer isn't named "setup.exe", so Windows doesn't automatically detect it as requiring elevation to run. Changing the installer name to make things elevate properly sounds pretty messy, fra...

Hi, In C#/.NET (on Windows) is there a way to read a "growing" file using a file stream? The length of the file will be very small when the filestream is opened, but the file will be being written to by another thread.

I wrote a download library for my colleague. It writes downloaded data to files. My colleagues found that the file stays small for a long time, even if 100 Mb data have been downloaded. So they suggest that I should call flush() after every write() so it will not take up memory to buffer these data. But I don't think 100 Mb of virtual...

Is there an equivalent way in Windows to receive these eve...
I'm ready to outsource the screen capture functionality of our application, because it's not our core business and I've spent too much time trying to get our code to do all the things I need.
