• Visual C++ how to determine if an open file is NUL: or not

  Hi, I'm trying to determine if an open file that is passed to me is the NUL: file or not. On Unix, I do: (once) open /dev/null, fstat, and save the st_dev and st_ino values then, in my is_file_null (int fid) routine, I do an fstat() on the passed-in file number, and compare the st_dev and st_ino values to /dev/null's.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DataTemplateSelector and list that doesn't implement INotifyCollectionChanged

  I have a list of objects styled using DataTemplateSelector. The list doesn't implement INotifyCollectionChanged (the list doesn't change) but the objects implement INotifyPropertyChanged. The problem is when I change a property of one of the objects the DataTemplate for the same object doesn't, even if it should (based on the conditions from the selector). Is this the intended behaviour or is it a bug It seems that even if the li ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't Install Team Foundation Server

  When I attempt to install Team Foundation Server (I've tried both single-server and dual-server install) I get to a dialog which has only one option on it - Uninstall. Huh I've never had TFS installed on this machine to begin with! I even humored it by running the uninstall, but this didn't help at all. On the next installation attempt I still come to the same impasse. The installer only offers the option to uninstall. Any idea what might be wro ...Show All

• Windows Forms Need a Thread... I think

  Hi folks. I've written Windows Form application that copies files. I've noticed that when I give it a large number of files, it stops responding until the copy is complete. How can I put the copy method into a thread so the main gui remains usable Additionally, as the thread copies, I would like to send updates to the Form to show what file it's currently copying and increment a progress bar. I gather a thread (in managed C++) is what I need - c ...Show All
