I'm working on a solution that contains a Windows Service and a WinForms client that interacts with that service. In my pre-build and post-build events, I have some net start and net stop commands to start and stop the service, but there are times when this causes a problem (file's not found, service is already stopped, etc.).

Microsoft appears to be moving a lot of configuration and query capabilities to PowerShell (accessible from C# or managed C++), while deprecating and even removing older APIs (accessible for C or unmanaged C++). Those of us who have extensive unmanaged C++ programs that can't switch to managed C++ may have a need to call PowerShell cmdle...

Our build is annoyingly slow. It's a Java system built with Ant, and I'm running mine on Windows XP. Depending on the hardware, it can take between 5 to 15 minutes to complete. Watching overall performance metrics on the machine, as well as correlating hardware differences with build times, indicates that the process is I/O bound. It a...

If it is not there every character displays junk (its code page is 1251). I also made DLL from Russian resource file. If I run that DLL in application from installed location, it ...
I'd like to write a test script or program that asserts that all dlls in a given directory are of a particular build type. I would use this as a sanity check at the end of a build process on an sdk to make sure that the 64bit version hasn't somehow got some 32bit dlls in it and vice versa. Is there an easy way to look at a dll file and...
I am doing a series of window resizing using the DeferWindowPos functionality. Suppose I already opened the DeferWindowPos handle, and called DeferWindowPos a few time, and now I want to cancel everything: not call EndDeferWindowPos. I tried CloseHandle( hDWP ), but it does not work (crash). If I simply return from my function, I ass...

I have some Visual C++ code that receives a pointer to a buffer with data that needs to be processed by my code and the length of that buffer. Due to a bug outside my control, sometimes this pointer comes into my code uninitialized or otherwise unsuitable for reading (i.e. it causes a crash when I try to access the data in the buffer.) ...

Running it on a server without a soundcard means the audio cannot be grabbed, is there a way around this? I look briefly at Virtual Audio Cable 4 but that doesn't seem to emulate a soundcard over a terminal session.. The tricky part...

I'm writing a custom control derived from System.Windows.Forms.Control. The control is using the Control.KeyDown event, to watch keystrokes: I should handle some keystrokes (for example <Ctrl>-K) as hotkeys, which cause me to launch a dialog box. If I launch the dialog from my onKeyDown event handler, the dialog is displayed before I s...

As you probably know if you write text in multiple languages and use Emacs, Emacs has its own input method system independent of Windows (or other operating systems). Input methods can be toggled with toggle-input-method command. When Windows language changes, Emacs receives a <language-change> keypress. I would like then to bind <langua...
