• .NET Development Moving the file while it's still being created

  Hi everyone, I have the following problem. I use FileSystemWatcher.Created event to call a procedure that needs to move that file. Well, Created event should be called Creating, because it raises when file creation begins, and while it is being created. So, my problem is that I can not move the file until process that is creating the file ends. This is my solution: Dim Success As Boolean While Success = False Try Success = True File.Move(sourcePath, destPath) Catch ex As IOException If ex.Message <> "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." ...Show All

• Visual C++ What happens inside CryptDeriveKey?

  I am translating the CryptDeriveKey to Java but the algorithm implemented doesn't work correctly. The code in Java is: private static byte [] CryptDeriveKey( byte [] key, int size, int algorithmType) throws Exception {     byte [] buffer1  = new byte [64];     byte [] buffer2  = new byte [64];        Arrays.fill(buffer1, ( byte )0x36);     Arrays.fill(buffer2, ( byte )0x5C);     for ( int i = 0; i < key.length; i++) {         buffer1[ i ] ^= key[ i ];            ...Show All

• SQL Server Blocking updates of a table

  Hi, I've been trying to design a way for me to issue a transaction that: Block all inserts on a table when row X has a certain value (call it A) Add a row to the table with row X containing A Add rows to another table Unblock inserts Commit transaction Is this possible Can anyone give me some pointers as to what to do Thanks in advance!

• Visual C++ How Do I Run/Execute A C++ Project/Application From C++ 2005 Express?

  Is this possible I'm trying to switch from VB 6 to whatever and have written the obligatory 'Hello World' in an effort to test the installation of the Platform SDK, but I can't find Run or Execute any where. I can build as many times as I want to, with no errors, but that is of limited usefulness. If you are wondering why I am asking instead of looking through the documentation, you haven't been using Microsoft products long enough. I assume you want to know the C++ equivalent to VB's Shell.Run/Shell.Exec (and not dynamically compile/build/link/run a cpp file). To invoke an executable using only stan ...Show All

• Windows Forms Submit a file to a printer in C#

  Is there a easy way to submit a file to a, in windows installed, printer or to a UNC path There is not processing by the driver needed, just passthrough printing. Thanks, System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterDocument uses its PrinterSettings property to control, among other things, where to print.  PrinterSettings.PrinterName is the specific property to change.  The code below will run from the command line - call it with no arguments to get a list of printers installed on your computer.  Otherwise, call it with the name of the printer you want to use (for convenience you can use default as the first argument) followed by the ...Show All

• SQL Server Slowly Changing Dimension Task Bug???? Got it working.

  I am working with the latest build of SQL Server 2005. VS 2005 8.0.50215.44 (beta2.050215-4400) SSIS version 9.00.1187.00 I had a package that was working fine while using the Slowly Changing Dimension Task. However, with the new version the Historical Attribute for the type II change does not work anymore.
