My favorite is the IBM KB-8923, got a couple here. Luckily still prevalent on E-Bay.

OMG! Those are so beautiful!

I am working on a .NET Core product representing a web site server. There are HTML, JS, CSHTML, etc. files in the Team Foundation Services repository not necessarily organized in folders the same way they will end up on the system actually hosting the web site. Is anyone aware of a utility that will take the source files, make a copy to an intermediate location, and then copy from the intermediate location to update the pages and files on the system hosting the web site? I am changing the source files and want to see the changes reflected on the web site system, which is a VM that must be reached through an intermediate drop location. I can run the utility on the development system and the target system easily enough. It is a PITA to keep track of which files were modified and to keep copying the files by hand. Just asking ahead of time, so I don't go rewrite the wheel.

And further on... The ATSB also found that the approach to the management of risk by the Old Bar Beach Festival Committee, specifically relating to aviation operations at the beach festival, was ineffective and resulted in a level of risk that had the potential to impact on the objectives of the festival. Oh, you mean like the FERRIS WHEEL can't be used now? :~

I am trying to extract the functions in a module by using the DBGHELP.LIB functions and loading only the PDB. I can't seem to get SymEnumSymbols to invoke the callback at all. The SymEnumSymbols function returns 'success' as if it had done something. Trying various combinations of 'options' using SymSetOptions has not yielded results either. When I search The Internet almost always the result/examples seem to come back with examples where the EXE is loaded and running and has been attached to or at very least the process handle has been obtained. Is having the process handle of the running EXE a requirement Microsoft has completely forgotten to state while using this 'Debug' library? Thanks.

I am trying to find a list of ‘affected’ API in Windows 8. Microsoft used to release a file called Win32Api.Csv that would summarize every function call changed in a new version of the OS. I am looking for something similar for Windows 8. I don't necessarily need the 'new functions' list, I have seen that already. I am concerned we make function calls in our existing products that will be 'broken' in some manner in Windows 8. For example, we have already run into some

FindWindow

failures.

Sigh.... so many Windows OS versions, so little time …

I am wondering if someone has used an API or Toolkit to incorporate Anonymous Usage or User Experience into their product. For exmaple, when you install Visual Studio, it asks if you want to participate in the Installation User Experience to provide feedback to Microsoft regarding your installation experience. Other product have similar types of options, which basically come down to the application reporting back some information about how the inlstallation was operated, problems encountered, etc. So if you have used or heard of such an API or toolkit to incorporate such features into an application, please respond. Thanks.

Thank you for your answers. Would you have a link to a tech note, language guide or MSDN about this part "Microsoft 'advises' to use uppercase constants." It does matter. I am looking into this because customers are complaining about CPU load.

Suppose two strings,

String S1, S2;

Which is faster:

if( S1.ToLower() == S2.ToLower() )

Or:

if( String.Compare(S1, S2, true) == 0 )

Under what conditions might the relative speed vary?

This is great. I was just posting the orginal code because of the three reasons I listed. 1. Should be a function - REGARDLESS. 2 - It's inefficient on multiple levels. 3. MS already has the 'tried and true' function to call anyways. I like to see that others do not consider what I posted to be optimal in ANY case, so that is comforting :)

1. This code was COPIED to 3 different places - they didn't bother to make a function out of all of it. That is probably the worst error, because now if this 'new' code has bugs, you have to modify three places instead of one. 2. It 'excessively' calculates the length of the string. I think I am being kind here when I say that. 3. 'Familiarity' was my joke - there is already a function in Windows to do this.

We can strip leading and trailing spaces from a string….

            int len = strlen((LPSTR)wName);
            while( \*((LPSTR)wName + len - 1) == ' ')
            {
            \*((LPSTR)wName + len - 1) = '\\0';
            len = strlen((LPSTR)wName);
            }                                                                                              

            firstNonSpace=((LPSTR)wName);
            while(\*firstNonSpace != '\\0' && isspace(\*firstNonSpace))    
            {          
                ++firstNonSpace;     
            }     
            len = strlen(firstNonSpace)+1;               
            strcpy((LPSTR)wName, firstNonSpace); 

Or just call… MSDN: “Removes all leading and trailing spaces from a string.”

PathRemoveBlanks(wName);

I have a wide-carriage Okidata Microline 395C 24-pin printer here in my office. In the automation industry, real-time records are printed to the line printer, one line at a time (try doing that with a laser or ink-jet printer...) to record plant activity. Sometimes the line printer is set into a 'bunker', in case of an 'accident' it is the 'record' of what has happened. Yep, they are still in use, and I just finished writing a Windows NT service to write to this Okidata a couple weeks ago.
