Hello, I've been writing desktop apps in C# for some time now but I'm increasingly getting frustrated with the fact that not everyone has .NET 2 or Higher installed. I don't have the option of upgrading their systems to meet my needs. My apps are mostly utilities that run alongside the main program the company I work for has. They access...

I'm learning DirectX from a book about game programming, and it uses the following method for a game loop: long int start = GetTickCount(); while(true) GameRun(); void GameRun() { if(GetTickCount() - start >= 30) //do stuff } This makes start equal whatever the time is (I'm guessing get tick count gives the number o...
When I use #include <d3d9.h> in my programs, I no longer need to include windows.h to use windows functions like WinMain, and CreateWindow. Is this because d3d9.h &c. include windows.h? Mainly, I'm wondering if it is possible to substitute windows.h with d3d9.h, etc, and still be able to se any functions I could use with windows.h. ...

To do this, I need the ActiveX to render to a system memory bitmap instead of the screen. I know there is a way to do this, but not sure where to start. I'm not afraid of doing any native method hooking, but I'm not sure wher...
Hi, I've got a .NET 2.0 Windows desktop application (time-sheets) which i develop and wanted to add a Gadget interface to it (so that app runs hidden and is controlled via the gadget).

Hello For those familiar with Linux, it is possible to create a module and register it as a block device. This allows the user to mount it as a regular disk (while all the block I/O is handled by the module, e.g. usb-massstorage). Is there a way to do this in Windows ? (Need to create a volume mountable by windows. The raw data will co...
I programmed (C# .Net 3.5) a process to start when windows (XP) starts. This process uses other files in the same folder as itself. Moreover, it starts another process, again located in the same folder. However, it seems like the process cannot find the files in the same folder (they are there). Instead, it looks in "C:\Documents a...

I would like when the user exit from the .exe to execute some resource closing steps from within my dll before it is too late. I tried to intercept the DLLPROCESSDETACH or DLLTHREADDETACH from the DllMain of my DLL but it seems ...
I am contemplating writing a program that will move some newly created dirs to another that puts them into date-stamped folders; either by week-month-year or month-year. I can probably write/debug/test this in java in 1.5 hours, BUT I would like to know if anyone else has had to deal with this, and perhaps has done it with a windows bat...

I have a dll produced by a third party that has some sort of internal datastructure that limits it's size to X elements. So basically, it has a Queue with X as the limit. Now from what I've known DLL's are per process, but is it possible to load a DLL more than once? Maybe per thread? In C#? or in C++/CLI? I'm trying to load a native ...
Our program consumes an out-proc COM server and makes thousands of calls on its interfaces. This takes very very long time - like a minute for about 50k calls. The COM component vendor says that the calls are very fast by themselves and that the problem is in the overhead associated with out-proc calls. Is there anything that can be tun...
I'm working in a sort of encapsulation of the windows filesystem. When the user request to open a file, windows calls to my driver to provide the data. In normal operation the driver return the file contents which is cached, However, in some cases the real file is not cached and I need to download it from the network. The question is i...
