I use Subversion via TortoiseSVN but I hear good things about Git.
Are there any similar tools available for Git on Windows?
Feel free to answer with tools which still in early development.
Hi,
I am very interested in learning windows shell programming. So...I searched for books on the amazon.com. I see that books on the amazon.com are out of date. Most of books are published before 2005. I googled about it and found many tips and tricks, but not step by step guide.
Where do I get started?
I had to get a new machine recently. It is Windows 7, loaded with Studio 2008, with Framework 3.5 sp1. When I load pre-existing projects that use the Entity Framework, the projects don't recognize the .edmx files. Any ideas?
I have been looking for a way of modifying static strings stored in Windows .exe files in the .rdata section, however I haven't found a real way to do so yet.
The whole thing is too complicated to do by hand (in this case by a HEX editor) and so I wanted to know if you have a solution to do so.
I sometime use the very simple but effective svncommitmonitor,
http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/CommitMonitor
to monitor activity. It's easy to see in the sys tray on a windows box and I've become used to it by now.
So, is there a similar/identical tool for CVS. Some googling and to my surprise I couldn't find one.
Any tips?
Is it possible to get the currently logged in user's username with Silverlight? You can assume that user has Windows OS and the Silverlight application is hosted in Internet Explorer. Getting the identity from server side with ASP.NET is not an option, this SL application will be hosted on a static HTML file.

I need some classes for playing short wav sounds, this classes would load this wav files into memory when an instance created, play sounds in background when needed, release this wav files from memory when an instance disposed.
How can I do this on C# for windows (.Net 2.0)? (Win API's sndPlaySound, OpenAL or may be any wrapper)
Ideally I would love to find an exist solution that simple and able to solve my task.
Do you know any solutions for this issue?
I need to run the following command from the command line in Windows 7:
SumatraPDF.exe -inverse-search "\"C:\Program Files\eclipse\inverse_search.bat\" \"%f\" %l"
However I need to modify it a little, since my installation of Eclipse is located in here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Eclipse (C++)
How do I escape this line correctly? Do I need to escape parenthesis and pluses too? Or is it just enough to escape double quotes?
I found an old Windows XP SP2 in my -trash- cd can and tried it on a 30 GB FAT32 partition.
Installation went fine till the copying operation was completed and XP asked for reboot. After that either it starts over again or throws invalid disk.
Starting over is an infinite loop the only way I see is to choose the "Repair console" but I'm not used to a DOS box.
Can anyone help me through this harmful installation?
We have developed a application for HTC HD2 mobile, which has windows 7 CE.
I have designed application to work for both the orientation (portrait, landscape)
Now I wanted to achieve auto screen rotation (portrait to landscape and landscape to portrait) according to the device movement (some thing like iPhone).
Can i able to achieve it? if yes how can I? It will be appreciable if you provide me link or sample code.
What's needed:
To move several directories between two Windows 2008 servers on a regular basis.
Due to security requirements, neither server is supposed to have network shares set up or extraneous software installed.
What's available:
Administrator access to both machines (including remote desktop access if that helps).
A third machine with:
Visual Studio 2010
Cygwin
Bonus extras
The script that does the rest of the work (apart from moving the files) is currently written in F#, but any .net/command line based solution would be fine.
Hi,
I'm getting the following error when trying to compile OpenSSL 1.0, 64 bit:
ias -o tmp32\ia64cpuid.obj tmp32\ia64cpuid.asm
'ias' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'ias' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
Does someone know what can I do?
(I do it on Windows 2008 x64 OS)
Thanks.
Noob question, apologies. I'm compiling Java in Windows Vista's command-line and have so many syntax errors that some are being pushed off the top (a lot of 'class, interface or enum expected' errors which leads me to believe it's an obvious syntax mistake early on in the code that I can't spot). Does anyone know how I could get it to display those first errors?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I created a windows explorer toolbar in C#. This toolbar is removed when uninstalling my applicaiton but it's still shown after unregistering (cached in explorer.exe). explorer.exe needs a restart in order toolbar to dissapear. How can I fix this by C# code?
I need to script the conversion of some WMV files to a DVD-Video ISO file suitable for burning and viewing on a Windows system - does anyone have a simple solution that doesn't involve chaining together calls to ffmpeg and pegging my system CPU?
I have Visual Studio 2005 and want to teach myself DirectX in my free time. I downloaded the latest Windows 7 and DirectX SDKs. According to Microsoft's website, the latest DirectX SDK is not compatible with Visual Studio 2005 (I assume they mean it's not compatible with the SDK it came with). Can I configure VS2005 to use the SDKs I downloaded instead of the SDK it came with? If so, is there anything I should be particularly careful with?

Which phone should I start developing for? I have no preference for either.
I currently own Macbook Pro and I have Windows installed in Boot Camp.
I don't know either C# or Objective-C. I am at ground zero in terms of skills required to start developing apps.
I'm trying to localize a Windows 8 Metro style app as described in a guide on MSDN. This worked very well so far, but now I'm trying to localize a string containing a non-breaking space which appears in a XAML file (originally as hexadecimal xml-escaped string:  ).
Just putting the above string into the Resources.resw file does not work, it appears just as  .
What do I have to do to get a non-breaking space in my localizations?
Hi,
I have an application in C# (2.0 running in XP embedded) that is using a watchdog that is implemented as a Windows Service. When the device boots, this service typically takes some time to start. I'd like to check, from my code, if the service is running. How can I accomplish this?
