• Visual C# Windows Service that watches the keyboard

  Hi there, I have a working windows application which implements a global-system-hook-class to watch the keyboard and log the pressed keys. The statistics are used for language analysis. In order to automate this process a little bit more, I want to write a windows service which does the same monitoring. I worked with servies before, but last time, I used a timer, because the service was supposed to work in a certain interval. This time, I want the service to work permanent. My windows application instanciates the globalHookClass, registers the conserning event and then listens for the keys; system wide! How can something like this b ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Communication between 2 different workflows

  I have a host application (a windows service) and 2 different types of state machine workflows. The workflow1 executes a certain amount of workflow2 and waits for the workflows to return. To do this they need to communicate between each other. I thought workflow2 could send an event to workflow1, in order to tell him when he's finished. Everytime a workflow2 returns it send this event to workflow1, so workflow1 can check if the started workflows are all finished. But how can I send events from one workflow to another Any ideas, which dont use wcf Thanks You can accomplish this by having a local ser ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Visual Studio C++ 2005 Express + Microsoft Platform SDK install

  I have installed Visual Studio C++ 2005 Express, the Microsoft Platfom SDK and the DirectX SDK. I have also used the " Using Visual C++ 2005 Express with the Microsoft Platform SDK " guide to set directories etc. Include directories for both SDKs are added. When trying to compile any of the example files from the DirectX SDK the compiler is telling me that one of the include files could not be opened (Cannot open include file: 'd3d9.h'). Is this a bug I know that you should not be able to set directories directly in Visual Studio. This is not unusual to see if you install the SDK and then install a version ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Performance compared to DTS

  I'm new to SSIS, and trying to feel my way around but I've got some questions about performance. I've used DTS for a number of years, and I read in Donald Farmers blog that SSIS was about 7 times faster than DTS (mileage may vary).  Well, I may be doing something very wrong, because I'm getting about 7 times slower! I have around 40 dimension tables, most of them have less than 100 rows.  Only two have 60,000 rows.  Then I have a single fact table with 2.7 million rows. I pull my data from Excel for the dimension info, and Oracle for fact info.  In DTS the dimension load takes around 45 seconds total, all 40 dimensions in ...Show All
