Quick question of does Windows CE support hash tables? I have a program that I'm modifying and adding to a device that uses Windows CE and I was wondering if CE supported hash tables since it is used in the original software.
I've been playing around with C# console applications for about a year and I want to move on to creating GUI applications. I have never done any GUI development besides basic Java applications, but I want to continue using C#. Should I start learning Windows Forms or jump straight to WPF? Is there a huge difference? Does WPF build on top of Windows Forms or are they totally different?
I found this code for disabling the task manager in Windows XP. It works :)
But does it work in Windows 7, too? The registry path is the same, I've checked this. But maybe there are some restrictions!?
Thanks in advance!
I would like to mimic the Run command in Windows in my program. In other words, I would like to give the user the ability to "run" an arbitrary piece of text exactly as would happen if they typed it into the run box.
While System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() gets me close, I can't seem to get certain things like environment variables such as %AppData% working. I just keep getting the message "Windows cannot find '%AppData%'..."
Is there a way to make a notification sort of thing appear on a website indicating that there are windows updates waiting to be installed. So to indicate the users that the server will go under maintenance at the time when windows is scheduled updates.
Is there an easy way to integrate with VirtualBox such that I could develop under the host, Windows, and deploy and run scripts via a mounted folder in a guest linux system?
I'm looking to develop for Linux under Windows, kind of.
Our code relies on checking the Context.User.Identity value in the Global.asax Application_AuthenticateRequest(...) method to retrieve some information about the logged in user. This works fine in classic mode but when I flip IIS to use the Integrated Pipeline "Context.User" comes back as null, but only intermittently. Any ideas why?
I have < authentication mode="Windows" and only Windows Auth enabled in the Virtual Directory.
Are there any software drivers for windows 7 (64-bit) that can report the data transferred between some application software and a usb device?
I have tried snoopy (http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/) but I can't get it working. Possibly I would need to go down the route of installing an earlier version of windows.
Any other suggestions?

Hi all,
Is it possible to create a certificate template that uses SHA-2 (sha256, sha224, sha384, sha512), from a Windows server 2003 CA?
I know how to do it in Windows server 2008 based CA, with the new version (version 3) - it is possible to specify the hash algorithm (Under the "Cryptography" tab of the template properties). But is it possible in 2003 based CA?
Thanks.
The Windows Indexing Service pauses itself when it detects the "user is active." Is there a registry entry or something to make it continue indexing regardless of user activity?
Clarification: in Windows XP
How do you detect Windows logon event?
And how do you initiate a user logon from a Windows service?
I'm trying to write a piece of code that will detect logon events and log another one automatically.

In c#, on a windows 7 machine, how can I programmatically access every file on the file system as though I was a "Master Administrator".
The main priority here, is that after my c# program is installed, that it won't run into any file/folder access permission problems. My program runs as a windows service, and it must allow a user to backup any files on the file system.
What are your must have Windows utilities to help you with development? For me it's Unlocker
This is about general Windows utilities, nothing specific to any language.
Are there any tools that can be used to connect to windows 2008 servers, and get a comparison of the installed patches/updates on the servers, showing what is installed on one and not on the other?
This is to help isolate an issue we are seeing on a specific windows server, in a load balanced setup. There is a certain performance/locking issue, which is mitigated whenever one of the servers is disabled.
Please share, if you have any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I'm writing an application for windows mobile 6 and above that requires a local database.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with database hosting on windows mobile and which database management system would be most suitable for development.
Thanks in advance,

Does windows have any decent sampling (eg. non-instrumenting) profilers available? Preferably something akin to Shark on MacOS, although i am willing to accept that i am going to have to pay for such a profiler on windows.
I've tried the profiler in VS Team Suite and was not overly impressed, and was wondering if there were any other good ones.
[Edit: Erk, i forgot to say this is for C/C++, rather than .NET -- sorry for any confusion]
I know there's a way to capture a bitmap of a window in Windows without anything that may be obscuring it (e.g. you have a window with a dialog in front, but the dialog is not captured as it would be if you did a simple pixel grab), but I can't remember how to do so.
Also I believe this is only possible in Windows Vista and above, with the introduction of the compositing window manager?
There are many applications for Windows these days that don't use native windows controls, don't have standard window frames and generally look different. What are some recommended techniques for creating such interfaces?
