I am using following code to connect with SQL 2008 R2: cnxnStoneedge = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=127.0.0.1;DATABASE=myDB;UID=admin;PWD=admin") Which gives error: Error: ('08001', '[08001] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (17) (SQLDriverConnect)') args = ('08001', '[08001] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNE...t exist or access denied. (17) (SQLDriverConnect)') with_traceback = <built-in method with_traceback of Error object> I am not sure whether SQL connecting via named Pipes or TCP, I did enable IP Address.

How would I go about extending the functionality of windows explorer in XP? Is there some way whereby I could create a "plugin" of some sorts that could hook into explore.exe to add additional folder browsing functionality? What language could I use to achieve this? This is an expansion of a question I asked here. There's a great series of tutorials on CodeProject which might help you. C++ is required there. There is an old O'reilly book called 'Visual Basic Shell Programming' that explains the API's for this in some detail. While taken from a VB6-centric point of view, the API's are all

I am working on a batch file that get's data as a variable, and in that variable it has an exclamation mark. What i am trying to do is add the necessary escape characters to the variable. "Title":"Turk 182!" Above is an example of the data I am working with. setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion rem replace ! with ^^! set var=%var:!=^^!!% But I am not sure that is the correct syntax, since how can i escape an esclamation mark if it's also used as part of the search and replace? I am trying to replace all esclamation mark with an escaped version so it can be displayed and worked with. Btw, is there

This question already has an answer here: Hook processes 5 answers I am doing some reverse engineering and want to know which APIs are called from the executable. I am mostly interested in the APIs called on a particular Windows system DLL. I guess one way to do that is to get all APIs exposed from the DLL using dumpbin and put breakpoints on all those from Windbg. Any other approach? This seems like lot of time if I need to monitor many system DLLs. BTW, I am working on Windows XP and want to monitor one executable which calls some Windows system DLL functions.

How to get hardware information (for example cpuId, biosId, diskId, baseId and videoId) in c++? Can anyone give me an example visual studio project for this? There are very different ways to get a disk id (serial number? volume id?) or a CPU ID or ... . I think you want to build a fingerprint of the computer. The most comfortable way is to use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and access the DMI . See MSDN for a start. See MSDN here for a hint how to get the mainboard serial number as an example. GetSystemInfo will get you started with the CPU information. Each subsystem generally has

I want to do exactly what it is described here , but the accepted solution does not work for me. I suppose the reason is explained here : If a DLL with dependencies is loaded by specifying a full path, the system searches for the DLL's dependent DLLs as if they were loaded with just their module names. If a DLL with the same module name is already loaded in memory, the system checks only for redirection and a manifest before resolving to the loaded DLL, no matter which directory it is in. The system does not search for the DLL. I wish to have my application in the following structure. c:\Exe |
