Hi,
I have a simple windows application where I have a window with some buttons and labels together with a couple of other classes.
My problem is that I have some methods in the classes in which I would like to update some labels in the main form. How is it possible to access the labels directly from the classes?
thanks
Hi there, I'm attempting to build a Windows Service which will execute some method when a user clicks a button in a WinForms application. I'd like to be able to pass in a few strings when the user presses the GUI button which will have the service consume them and processes a specific method. What's the best way to do this?
Thanks for help.

I have a windows service that reads from a config file. I need to modify this config file prior to the application starting. How can I create a GUI that would handle the changes to the config file. I know that a service does not have a GUI per se, but I really just need something to modify some strings in the config file and then start the service.
I'd like to know if it is possible to have this application (neo4j) running on windows server 2008 alongside an asp.net mvc application.

Hi,
I am looking for a Windows graphical utility for performing HTTP operations.
For example, I want to be able to say things like:
POST to http://example.org/test/service
With a POST body: "Data goes here"
Does anyone know a good piece of software for doing this?
From cmd on windows, you can stype "start filename" and an action will be taken based on the type of the file. EXEs will launch, JPEGs will have an associated file viewer opened, etc..
Is there a way to do this on Linux / Ubuntu?

Is there any way to access the Windows Event Log from a java class. Has anyone written any APIs for this, and would there be any way to access the data from a remote machine?
The scenario is:
I run a process on a remote machine, from a controlling Java process.
This remote process logs stuff to the Event Log, which I want to be able to see in the controlling process.
Thanks in advance.
Is there a way to develop iPhone applications on Windows? I really don't want to get yet another machine.
There is a project on http://code.google.com/p/winchain/wiki/HowToUse that seemed to work with iPhone 1.0, but had limited success with iPhone 2.0, plus it requires all the cygwin insanity.
Is there anything else, or do I have to buy a mac?
Hi everyone,
I am writing an application for Windows Mobile 6.1, and I would like the application always run on landscape mode, regardless of the screen rotation. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks :)
I need a recommendation of a free tool (even for a trial) for detecting memory leaks in C++ under Windows (Visual Studio 2005).
I've looked in the net, but I would prefer a recommendation.
I'm looking for a tool along the lines of Fiddler, or better yet Wireshark, that would run on a Windows Mobile 6.1 device.
I have an app which calls some webservices on one of our servers, and I want to make sure it it going out to the proper address.
Thanks in advance.
I heard that Windows 7 restricts access to its registry, so that applications cannot write directly to it. Is this so? I am developing an application in C#, and I would like to be able to save things such as port settings, last file used, etc. between sessions. Is the registry still a good option, or is there another preferred means of doing this now? Thanks.
Does anyone know a Library which provides a Thread.sleep() for Java which has an error not higher than 1-2 Millisecond?
I tried a mixture of Sleep, error measurement and BusyWait but I don't get this reliable on different windows machines.
It can be a native implementation if the implementation is available for Linux and MacOS too.
EDIT
The link Nick provided ( http://blogs.sun.com/dholmes/entry/inside_the_hotspot_vm_clocks ) is a really good resource to understand the issues all kinds of timers/sleeps/clocks java has.
I know Windows close kernel handles when an application crashes, but if I want to wait on this event, can I be sure it will happen in milisec or it might take a while? I would like to trigger a new function the moment one application is crashed and I'm checking if this handle is NULL but it seems like I can't get a NULL value in this case.
Hi! Im trying to call some windows forms code (like setting label.visible = true in some event code, everything compiles ok, but form does not react to change! What could be the problem?
Problem is in lines:
labelNewCall.Visible = true;
timerNewCall.Enabled = true;
code : http://pastebin.com/gV28PN4P
also other code did not work, until i reordered some of if (order is not important but it did not work otherwise... )
I installed emacs 23.3.1 in c:/emacs-23.3.
Following the hints in this page, I updated the site-start.el to set HOME environment variable.
(setenv "HOME" "c:/users/USER/emacs")
And I made c:/users/USER/.emacs (like I did in unix/mac) to write the code for using slime, but it doesn't seem to start slime correctly.
Is this a correct way of setting emacs in Windows 7? Where do I put the .emacs file?
Hi, there.
The question is how to make the similar thing like symlink in windows like in *nix. It's really hard to write whole path to the file in console (even using [tab], it's not the way if you need to change language). Adding everything in PATH is tiring too. It'll be great to make a symlink running one command.
Actually I'm looking for console app.
Hi,
I am looking for some frameworks that can be used to collect usage information for Windows desktop application and analyze it. For example, I would like to be able to answer questions like (a) how many times do people use this application in a day (b) which are their favorite menu items, etc.
I looked briefly at Google Analytics and Omniture SiteCatalyst but they seem to work only on web applications.
Thanks
