windows-7

Before i get started... this is NOT FOR PRODUCTION; The question really only came about while making a test application. Myself and another developer were poking around with why .net was performing this poorly this way. It may not be .net at all, it could be the OS, I hope someone can shed some light on topic: My test application was created to handle hundreds of connections from our production app which connects to hundreds of devices via TCP only because its easier to simulate 500-700 PCs then then have 500-700 physical machines stacked up in my office running some port software. I created a

I'm a designer and not a coder and having issues with the first install. I downloaded Rails 1.8.6 and Instant Rails. I opened a console and tried updating gems. Nothing worked there. I think I will just delete everything and start over because I'm sure I broke something by now. I was really thinking about buying a Mac today just to get it working. What do you recommend for: 1. What EXACTLY to download? 2. Steps to take? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! I've been developing with Rails on Windows 7 for over a year and have never experienced any frustrations due to this. These instructions have

I'm now working on RC Windows 7 and installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition. But I need to work with Java programs, and so I needed to work with Visual Studio 2005 . I installed Visual Studio 2005 SP1 (VS80sp1-KB926747), but I have the following problem: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch." I previously had the same problem

How can I write or draw controls to the Windows 7 preview area using C#? For an example of what I am talking about, open Windows Media Player in Windows 7 and play a song. While the song is playing, minimize Windows Media player, then hover your mouse over the Windows Media Player icon and you will see a pause, rewind and fast forward button just below the actual Media Player preview window. How can I duplicate this kind of behavior in C#? You're looking for Windows 7 Thumbnail Toolbars : Thumbnail toolbars provide a mini "remote-control" opportunity for a window from its thumbnail. For

I'm working on an Inno Setup installer, which calls net use to connect to a shared server. The installer can connect to the server, if it's running on Windows XP, but not on Windows 7. I think it's related to UAC as I type the same command, the server is connected on Windows 7, but the setup is running with admin privileges. I'm using the following net use command through Exec or ShellExec script functions: /c net use \\servername password /user:username Actually, here is a part of the script showing the net use command call: [Code] var ErrorCode: Integer; cmdString: String; intvalue: Integer;

I have a program I've written on Windows 7 (64-bit) that compiles and runs correctly on my computer. But on other computers (specifically on Windows 8 (64-bit)) the program does not run. When I try to run it it says that my program has stopped working, it crashes. I should add, both computers have .Net installed at version 4.5. But, if I delete all the components that I've added onto my form (I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Express) it runs just fine. But I have to delete all of the components. Deleting only some of them doesn't work. Has anyone heard of this happening? Thanks to Hans, I hadn't
