For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode "<" (and other HTML) characters when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Use HTML in this post" check box is checked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question into an unrelated forum such as the lounge. It will be deleted. Likewise, do not post the same question in more than one forum.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.

Hi every one
I am working on a project which needs slope representation for a contour. I wonder if anyone could help me with its implementation guideline or if anyone could provide me a sample of source code.
I really appreciate it
Regards,
amanna ghanbari

You might want to explain better what you mean, as well as why it belongs in the IT & Infrastructure Forum.
If you are talking about the mathematical slope of a surface, the contour is defined as a constant value or level curve, so its slope is by definition exactly zero. If you want to know the slope of the surface, that would be the slope at a direction perpendicular to the contour. To calculate that, simply take the vector gradient of the surface.
Of course if this is actually something that has to do with IT & Infrastructure, then ignore my explanation and forgive my intrusion.

I have been using Windows 7 at work now for almost a year, but i have only just come across what seems to be an interesting feature. When an application hung today, i got the standard message box telling me so and giving me the option to kill the program or wait for it to respond. But a surprising third option was also available - "Try to restore the program".
I selected that option and it actually worked, the application continued without crashing. Ok, the reason why it hung was most likely a network delay between the client (the app) and the server, and waiting would have fixed the problem. But it is still kind of cool.
A quick google search found this article, but it does not explain what that option actually does or how it works. Does anyone know? I suppose it has something to do with the message queue, since most GUI applications do processing in the callback proc. But how does it know what bit of code to "cancel"?

I have heard that many managers simply do not treat programmers they manager well.
Someone told me that they assume that programmers work for the length "lines of code", and assume that a programmers value is partly for writing lots of code.
Does anyone here have any feedback from this?
It would be interesting to find out your opinions.

My experience is that it depends on the manager and the programmer involved. Some programmers need to be managed that way and some managers are a**holes. Others are not.

I am a manager.
OK it is not in the IT world, I run an accounts office.
I look after my Elves (it is what I call the people under me).
If they need training, I get them training.
If they need a friend, I listen.
I like to think I am a good boss. But!
I expect 100% from them, and unless there is a reason, I get it.
I fight for them, I bleed for them.
They know this and will help me when my back is against it.
Man Management and Time Management can only do so much.
Know the people you are with and act like a boss.
They need you to be in charge and make tough decisions and give orders, but they respect you for it if you do it like a man and take no prisoners.
It is also good for one's self respect if one can be a boss and act like one from time to time.

It depends on the firm you are at. If you are at a software company, that's where you would be treated the best. If you're in finance, except to be treated like a grunt and by dirt by some people.

This is far from true in my 40+ years experience of different organisations. You will be treated best in any company that has a culture of caring for its employees, whatever their line of business.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

I'm not going to argue with that, but in my experience most wall street firms do not care about their employees that much. However, working on wall street is one of the higher paying jobs for programmers.

1. Launch a Command Prompt window, and authenticate to the remote host by using the following “net use” command:
net use /user:Administrator \\<server name or IP address>\C$
Replace with actual NetBIOS computer name or IP address of the remote host. For example, “net use /user:Administrator \\188.8.8.8\C$.
Enter password when prompted.
Alternatively, from Windows Explorer, map to a network drive to share a folder on the target server, and log in accordingly.
2. In Command Prompt, run the following command:
qwinsta /server:<server name or IP address>
Where is the actual computer name or IP address of the remote host. For example, “qwinsta /server:188.8.8.8″.
3. A list of active and connecting Remote Desktop or Terminal Services sessions will be displayed. Identify the ‘hung’ connection and its ID.
To reset and disconnect the Remote Desktop connections or sessions, run the following command:
rwinsta <ID> /server:<server name or IP address>
4. Replace with the session ID identified with “qwinsta” command, and with the actual computer name or IP address of the remote host. For example, “rwinsta 1 /server:188.8.8.8″
Note: qwinsta is Query Window Station and rwinsta is Reset Window Station.
Once a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services connection or session is terminated and disconnected, the slot will be released and remote user can login remotely again.
Knock out 't' from can't, you can if you think you can.

Hello All,
I need some serious help finding Best optimal alternative solution of netmeeting in windows 7.
So Scenario is like this: Windows XP do support Net-Meetings but widows 7 doesn't so Microsoft Informed Customers that Use Remote Desktop, but the problem with Remote Desktop is only that only one-side can be operated that means if I remote control you , you will be automatically logged off and I will get all control of your computer/system. Which i do not prefer,since in business if customer's screen gets blank out while remote controlling customer will be more than angry to see blank screen so what i want to get is something like netmeeting where customer can see what actually we are doing while remote control session.So other option is Microsoft SharePoint Workspace(Groove)but i haven't use it yet. I cannot Use Skype or live messenger because it doesn't look professional and i do not want everyone to download that Skype then create username Id and all that.
So If Anyone Out there knows Best optimal alternate solution of Net-meeting for Windows 7. Grab your keyboard and REPLY HERE
Thank you All for reading this message and Hope you All Reply Me with your best suggestion.
Cheers,
Mohit.

NetMeeting is the Skype of the nineties. One could write a thin client on top of the Skype-API, that way you could use it with whatever UI you want. There's also some open source components for the MSNP-protocol.
Do you only need to share the desktop? If so, look into TeamViewer[^], or Spolsky's CoPilot[^].

Hey,
Thx for your reply. But yes in Skype you have to register and make account and all that which i do not want my clients to do that, just to make it simpler enter the ip address you want to connect and that's it like a net meeting. Also , I need to share desktop other person should be able to read and write my shared screen so like remote Desktop connection. but problem with RDC is that it logs off the other person and makes blank screen which is no good
thx

Hi,
Personnaly I use TeamViewer every day to help my clients in solving their computer-related problems. It works fine, even if the computer is behind a firewall, router or proxy.
But it's not a free product, you have to pay for it (one single licence for you, and with it you can connect to as many clients as you want). Your clients download the free/quick support version ; so they don't have to buy anything.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards.

Hi,
I know Grapes-R-Fun asked this back in 2008, but his solution doesn't help me much.
Since Monday afternoon, our build system using NAnt and calling MSBuild directly on the solution file(s) has been exiting randomly during the build.
The build system builds about 140 C# solutions and runs NUnit and NCover stuff.
We're using NAnt 0.90, with CruiseControl (I don't think CruiseControl is an issue, I'm seeing these random aborts running the build manually from the command line).
We also have several custom NAnt tasks, which I updated on Monday, however the build appears to run fine on my own machine.
I've tracked the error down this afternoon to a -532459699 exit code, which is apparently a System.InvalidOperationException or some obscure COM error, from what I can find from google.
I've updated my NAnt tasks within my build script to include failoneror='false' where this wasn't the case. (I have to wait about 2 hours now for the latest build I've started to complete to see if this helps the issue)
Anyone got any ideas why this might have started occurring on Monday?
Have there been Microsoft updates that may have interfered with access levels/rights to files?
I'm happy to supply more information about the build system if that will help track down the cause of this issue.
Thanks,
Pete

Ok, maybe the subject will give me away, but I used to be (all of 7 months ago), a C# developer splitting time between web development and some light PM work at a financial institution. Fast forward to Sept 2010 and we find Mike tasked with building an IT department from SCRATCH. As the year is coming to an end the buzz in management has been about budgets for 2011 and I don't know where to start. I've done some reading about how others would do it and I have always gotten great advice here on Code Project so I figured I'd cast into this pool and see what you all have to say. So, fire away and feel free to be sarcastic, demeaning and talk down to me, so long and you add some good advice to your posts!
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey Mike,
Nothing like chucking you in at the deep end is there? Find yourself a mentor within the organisation. Make at least one of the accounts guys your best friend, and get some help from them. They'll help to get you through your first budget and hopefully you won't f*** up too much.
Keep your aims modest and build in some financial contingency. Always, always, always keep a close eye on costs but don't let on to your team that is what you are doing. Lastly remember the three aspects of management: planning, finance and people. Be on your guard not to let the people aspect suffer by the other two. They are always interconnected and a change in one aspect with always affect the other aspects in some way.
As far as building an IT department goes, I would say this is still a technical task, even if it is a larger problem. Go througth the process as you always would, gather requirements, design etc Now instead of estimating in man days, you are estimating in pounds and pence. This is where your accounting buddies come into play because their experience of costs is going to be much better than yours ever will be.
Do this course with the Open University: "Certificate in Professional Management". I found it hard, but has really elevated my confidence and skills as a manager.
Hope this helps.
