First, sorry if this is a numbskull question: Is there a way to catch a 'start up' event from IIS? Here is the problem: I have a significant amount of data to cache when the web-service starts up and I have not found a way to (reliably!) get notified when the web service is first started. If I could catch that event, then I could do all the data pre-fetches before the first web service caller comes in. Thanx in advance.

Does anyone here have any resources, information, etc on how one goes about actually trying to publish/market/sell applications? I've never done such a thing, but would be interested in learning how this is "typically" done. Thanx

Does anyone know how to disable the "auto expansion and tree jumping" that occurs in VC7.x whenever a file is opened for edits? I have a *large project* and I set the tree where I need it to be for what I am trying to focus on, and whenever I open a file, the tree "expands" and "jumps to" the project location for the file I've just opened, and takes me completely away from where I set the tree to begin with. This is an annoying and disruptive behavior (not even sure I would call this feature it is such a pain to deal with)....Is there some way I can just turn that idiocy off? Thanx for anyone that can help me with this...

I think: 1. I can not easily create an icon that looks as good as a professional can 2. I'd rather the developers on my team spend their time doing development, so I'll happily pay the pittance for an icon pack....The last thing I want to have to explain is why a project is late because we spent n hours clicking around in the icon editor

Well, we'll see what kind of mileage I get here then :) I did find the 'article' after a bit more growling and more generic searches at: http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/misc/misc/article.php/c259/[^] So was not here this time....but geez most things are so I was *sure* it was here....it appears there is a world outside of CP har-har

Well no....I did that exact same search w/ no results....that result is why I asked if anyone knew the one I was hoping to find...thanx for the reply tho

I remember seeing an article (I think it was here) that modified a window style at runtime to toggle on WS_POPUP if the window was being dragged out of the application's Main Frame, and then would toggle on WS_CHILD if the same window was being dragged into the application's Main Frame....Does anyone else remember that article or where it is here? Thanx!

kay..thanx...could just be an ie thing again....sigh....everytime i get an update from msoft i get a whole new set of 'behaviors' and 'fixes' to deal with :) .....

Has anyone else noticed or reported that local file-save-as for articles appears to be broken again since the aspx update? Is this on purpose, I recall this issue was reported once before and if memory serves had something to do with the rotating banner ads....Is this new behavior by design or am I the only one that ever does that for offline reading purposes?

I think it may have been Warren Buffet who said: "...When you hear the taxi driver talking to you about the stock market, it is time to get out of the market..." What I take from that is that whenever any market gets itself into a speculative frenzy, some type of correction will happen...It was obvious to a many of us that with all the "flip happy" "investors" driving the market into all kinds of unfounded worth that this was coming.... The biggest downside to this particular one is how far up the financial food chain this nonsense spread...If there is any integrity left in wall street (sic) we should expect that there should be some heads rolling in some of the insuranace and other investment firms that purchased this junk and pulled the market into the chaos it is having now...Imagine the billions lost in larger firms if the "little guy" is taking this kind of hit.... Myself, I'm waiting for housing market to bottom out so I can do some bottom feeding myself and rake in some good deals :) Greed, just like rust, never sleeps.

Well everyone's mileage can vary of course.... I for one think that California is about the best place on the planet (granted I don't live in LA area though). I have lived all around the world and think there are few places better.... And so far as "morons" are concerned, that really is a function of population density...as in there is a fixed ratio of morons per every quantity of folks...so, more folks, more morons.... And gee I thought it was the right-ring, neo-con, scared-of-their-own-shadows-now-they're-older-used-it-all-up-baby-boomer, bible-thumpers that were trying to tell everyone how to live.....So, as far as that goes I don't think *anyone* has *any right* to tell others how to live.... cheers....Happiness is an INTERNAL state, and depends more on the person than the place -- modified at 19:38 Monday 6th August, 2007

To Clarify: What I am looking for is a workflow type product specifically for creation, and tracking of engineering change requests for software systems.

Do any of you all know of any decent, easy to use, light-weight, and not over-the-top-on-price change management systems?

Glad to know I am not alone here.....My theory: Auto Update is a crafty and insidious mechanism that is designed to slowly trash the OS you have all the way to the point that you have to buy a new one just to get all the cruft out of the way ....as in: let's just keep futzing with the files there until the whole thing is a snarl, then they'll have to get a new one just so that the stuff that used to work before we started 'fixing it' will work again....

You missed my point....the point is: That 99.999% of the users don't care for all this hogwash. They just want the darned thing to work, and to do what they want it to do....all these goofy messages only "alarm the user" and these notices are terroristic in nature; they just freak the user out and don't help a ding-dang thing.....And what in the world is a "potentially dangerous" thing? For goodness sake, the pc is not a freaking explosive device. If an app I write crashes, because it can't do what it wants, then that is that, but "dangerous" gads! I don't buy it....this is just another attempt at the monopolistic empire that m'soft has become to garner more control....it echoes the worst of the modern facism.....as in: "Hey if we can't convince them with facts, then we'll resort to fear...." What is hard is to keep the world a sensible place....I mean, I don't run the friggen world bank on my pc; so who cares if I want to run at admin level? Now I can't even directly twiddle bits on the parallel port anymore because m'soft doesn't trust me to talk to the hardware without writing a bazillion lines of code? the whole industry has gotten jacked by large corporate and govt interests, they are the only ones that care about all this security nonsense.....most folks just want to have fun; but I'll wager in the near future there will be a message box from the OS that says: "Warning you are about to enjoy your PC again. Continue? [yes] [no] [abort] " I think it is getting high time for some embedded programming again, where my code is in control of every register, can access anything in the hardware it wants to and is as "dangerous" as I want it to be .... phhhhhhhttt

Hey this computer belongs to ME! If I want to run all kinds of stuff at any friggen privilege level I want to then that is MY RIGHT. I am getting pretty alienated with M'soft forgetting that fact, and thinking the whole darn thing belongs to them and the friggen OS. Perfect example: I left my w/s running last night as I was late getting out of the office. When I came in today, windows update decided it just "HAD" to reboot my w/s .... My Gawd! Os-es-interruptus is getting too much in the way.... What I want is an application shipped from m'soft to protect me from *them* more than I'm worried about a program I purchased and *want* to use running at some so-called "admin level." This appliance is supposed to be a tool from which I benefit by use of, not some extension of some over hardened security dink that thinks they have any right to determine what I should allowed to do with MY GEAR without needing some "special permission" to do so....Come on, don't be so quick to buy the m'soft party line on this stuff.....They have lost their way....The more power ballman gets, the worse that company gets.....
Just trying to keep the forces of entropy at bay
agree......this security crap has gone over the top....i mean, gawd, I don't have a friggen million dollar company running in my home systems, so why oh why would I even want to bother with overly restrictive os that now is just getting in the way....msoft really seems to have lost its way....
