• Visual C++ API differences between Win2K and XP?

  A C++ application I developed on XP reportedly crashes when run under Win2K. Since I don't have Win2K, is there an easy way to locate the possible culprits, like a list of SDK functions that are new to XP or have changed since 2K My program relies solely on the standard Windows SDK--no ATL, no MFC, nothing managed. Thanks in advance! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give the crash dump a try. (As you guessed I have no access to that computer.) However does that mean that there is indeed no "what's new " or similar list for the Platform SDK It might be useful to find out more about this so instead of patching problems I can prevent them from happening in the first place. Oh, and a happy new year ...Show All

• Visual C# Issue with user impersonation and Processes ! - Medium

  Hi, I am wirting a program to execute a process under a user (B's) context ie. by impersonating a user. Assume Im the user (A).Following are the steps I have followed : 1. Created a WindowsIdentity object using the new user's user name and password i.e. user (B). 2. Impersonated the user (B) using WindowsImpersonationContext class. 3. Create a new Process object to start the command prompt (cmd.exe) and pass the arguments as "/c C:\ConsoleApplicaton1.exe". 4. The ConsoleApplication1.exe is a C# console application. This application gets the current WindowsIdentity and displays the name. WindowsIdentity .GetCurrent().Name; When I execute this program, the command prompt gets opened and the user name appears (A).

• SQL Server KPI's - getting the second last value

  Hi, I have set up a LastNonEmpty measure to get me the most recent reading for a KPI. For example, ( [Measures].[Last RESULT], [Production Units].[Dim Production Units].[Plant 1], [Prod TDV Params].[Dim Production Params].&[CO2] ) gets me the last recorded CO2 reading for Plant 1. Now I need the trend expression - is there a sneaky way to get the second last value without creating a new measure Thanks. Well, one way that I can think of is to define a named query or view for the fact table, which filters out the most recent reading for fixed values of other dimensions. Then a 2nd measure group with a LastNonEmpty measure could be created on this filtered fact table, to get t ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I know whether the app is running in development mode?

  Some of the features included in the application I'm currently developing are supposed to be used in 'administrator' mode, but, in fact, the only administrator is the developer and it's likely that none of these will be used by final users. Therefore, instead of defining a particular user to be the administrator, why not letting the application to know wheter it is running whithin the development environement or as a standalone, compiled application I remember a property like this was exposed in VB6, and I assume it is also included in the .net environement, but after some time of messing with the object browser and the internet, I give up and ask for HELP! Where can I find this property ...Show All

You can create your own int type, but since int is a keyword you'd have to escape it like @int. ...Show All
