Basically it's an extension for autotest that listens for notification from OS and allows autotest not to scan for file changes permanently while testing only necessary changes. It saves CPU and disk use. ...
Hello all. I'm writing a program that among other things needs to download a file given its URL. I'm too lazy to implement the Http/Https protocols manually, so that I needed some library/object/function that'll do the job. Critical requirement: The download must be asynchronous. That is, the thread that issued the download must be abl...

I'm new to compiling programs written by someone else, so I hope I'm not missing anything obvious. What I am really trying to do is install PyODE, and I think I managed that just fine, but when running the PyODE examples I get an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python26\pyode-examples\tutorial3.py", line 12, in <mo...

Using VS2008, we would like to simulate a file that has a size of X, but that has a read failure at X-Y bytes, so that we get an error indication. Anyone have an idea of how to do this on windows? Looks like there is a solution for linux, but I can't really come up with a way to do this on windows. We have multiple developers, multiple...

I looked all over the internet and there doesn't seem to be a decent solution that I could find. I want to be able to programmatically in C++ obtain the path "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data" that explorer can translate into a real path. Can I do this without relying on third-party code? ...
I need to know, for each subcategory, whether it'll be audited on success, on failure, both, or none. Below is an example of the information I need to collect. Can I get this through WMI? Or if not, by other means, assuming I have proper (admin) credentials to the target machine? Again, to clarify, it's not the event log I need to read...
I am trying to capture screenshots using the BitBlt function. However, every single time I capture a screenshot, the non-client area NEVER changes no matter what I do. It's as if it's getting some cached copy of it. The client area is captured correctly. If I close and then re-open the window, and take a screenshot, the non-client area ...
This might sound like a stupid question, but I'm asking because my boss wants to know. What is the minimum Windows OS for binaries created with Visual Studio 2010? Not all the developers on the team have the Windows SDK installed. I know with it you can target down to Windows XP, but any idea what you can target without Windows SDK? ...
In many windows installers the last step is called "removing backup files". I understand that to provide transactional integrity of the install process some "backup files" could've been created and have to be cleaned up. What I do not understand is why on many occasions this step takes considerably longer than the rest of the install...

For example, the "extra" icons form of the new Windows 7 taskbar: I understand this can be done by setting the WindowStyle = None property, however, I am also usi...

Actually, i don't need the object to be passed as a parameter, what i really needs is that the service can use an object created in a windows forms application. I...

The event aggregator in Prism is great, and allows loosely coupled communication between modules within a composite application. Does such a thing exist that allows the same thing to happen between standalone applications running on a user's desktop? I could imagine developing a solution that uses WCF with TCP binding and running inside...
