I'm getting some serious weirdness using FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo() and was hoping somebody might be able to help. The basics of the issue is that I am iterating through all the files in a folder calling GetVersionInfo() on each. There are about 300 files. This works ok for all but 2 of the files. For these DLLs I am getting comepletely incorrect info back from GetVersionInfo(). In order to eliminate all other variables, I extracted this call into a simple test app and it still got the same problem. However, if I built the test app as a Windows Application (it was a Console Application

We already know how System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\filename.png") works, but what if the file name doesn't end with an extension? How can I run a filename without an extension, using the default program that is associated with, for example, a .png extension? Something like: openFile("C:\filename","PNG") You can of course patch together the FileName and the Extension and hope for the best. Or test whether a file Extension has a predefined Opener, an entry in the Registry that associates an Extension with an application that can hadle that file format. The System provides an API -

For enabling Microsoft-Hyper-V and Microsoft-Hyper-V-Management in Windows 2008 R2 Server(64bit), I'm calling dism.exe as a process. The command I've used is Dism.exe /online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V Dism.exe /online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V-Management-Clients This works fine when I execute this from the command line but it fails when I try to execute it through my code. I've tried the 64bit version of Dism.exe under the C:\Windows\SysWoW64 folder but it fails too. Here is the error message I get, You cannot service a running 64-bit operating

I see that I can start processes with System.Diagnostics.Process. I'm trying with the following code, but its not working. The page just hangs and I have to restart IIS... using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Web; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Diagnostics; public partial class VideoTest : System.Web.UI.Page { List<string> outputLines = new List<string>(); bool exited = false; protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string AppPath = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath; Process myProcess = new Process(); myProcess.StartInfo

Please see this question for background information: How do Tasks in the Task Parallel Library affect ActivityID? That question asks how Tasks affect Trace.CorrelationManager.ActivityId . @Greg Samson answered his own question with a test program showing that ActivityId is reliable in the context of Tasks. The test program sets an ActivityId at the beginning of the Task delegate, sleeps to simulate work, then checks the ActivityId at the end to make sure that it is the same value (i.e. that it has not been modified by another thread). The program runs successfully. While researching other
