• .NET Development How to Log File Reads on Server Share

  I am hoping to create a Windows Service that logs file reads on a server share. Unfortunately, the FileWatcher class only traps Changed, Created, Deleted and Renamed events. I am currently investigating Windows Messaging to see if this offers any possibilities. Any suggestions as to how to approach this problem would be greatly appreciated. Please advise if there is a more appropriate forum for this question. The Filemon utility from SysInternals does all this for you, you might just be able to use that (the enterprise version can spit it out to a log file I believe). http://www.sysinternals.com/Utili ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using Openmp with VisualStudio 2005 (Express)

  Hello, I was very glad to see that Visual Studio 2005 would support Openmp. While I'm waiting for the full release of VC++ 2005, I'd like to have a try with the Express edition and Openmp. I've successfully installed the Beta version of studio and the platform SDK, setting paths and so on. But unfortunatly, I cannot find Openmp includes and libraries (omp.h, vcompd.lib) anywhere on my disk, neither on the internet. I thought this would be part of the plateforme SDK, but even if I've installed the whole package on my machine, it seems not to be there. Could someone tell me where Openmp library can be downloaded from If it ...Show All
