• Visual C# Best way to achieve this?

  I need to run a loop to check if a file exists then delete it. Once its deleted it can stop looking. However, at the time the loop starts it may not exist, but it will evntually be created. do { delete(); Console.WriteLine("Checking"); } while (check() == false); private static bool check() { if (File.Exists(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SystemRoot") + @"\myfile.dat")) return true; return false; } public static void delete() { if (File.Exists(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SystemRoot") + @"\myfile.dat")) { File.Delete(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SystemRoot") + @"\myfile.dat"); Console.WriteLine("Deleted"); } } >> If you dont include braces in an if statement, the firs ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems with WMI classes Win32_VideoController, Win32_VideoSettings, and CIM_VideoControllerResolution under Vista.

  Under Vista, attempts to access Win32_VideoSettings and CIM_VideoControllerResolution objects via WMI return no records. The online documentation claims that Vista is a supported platform. The Win32_VideoController object returns records but all the CurrentBitsPerPixel, CurrentHorizontalResolution, CurrentNumberOfColors, CurrentRefreshRate, CurrentVerticalResolution, etc., are all empty. Further, the Availability value for every controller is set to 8, (OffLine). I'm having no problems obtaining WMI information from Vista, exactly like that under XP, except for the three that I mentioned. Is this a bug under Vista, or has the information moved somewhere else The information has not moved. These are ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 and Business Logic

  I'm working on a app with complex reporting requirement and would like to centralize the business logic for app and reporting. We are not planning to use SP for reporting. Having said that, i would ideally like the reports call the business layer (business.dll) assembly which in turn will call the data access layer (data.dll) assembly to run the required queries and get the results via business assembly as a custom business entity or data set. I'm not sure if this possible with Reporting Services 2005. I have looked at the custom data processing extensions but i dont think it will provide me the required business-data separation unless i'm missing something. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and if yes, could you please pro ...Show All

• Visual C++ Weird problem with _wopen() : errno = 2, file or directory not found.

  Hi all, I am having a weird problem with _wopen() function.  I use _wopen() to open a text file A.  The function works fine unless file B was created (and saved) in the same folder with file A.  The errno returned from _wopen() = 2, which means file or directory not file.  But file A is there all time. And again, it only happens if file B is just created and saved prior to using the _wopen() to open file A.  If file B is already existed - which means that the code will detected its existence and will not create/save file B, and then _wopen would open the file A just fine. Is there any chance that because adding a new file to the same folder causing the directory listing order changed, which causes _wopen() ...Show All
