I'm developing a C# application that I want to run on standalone computers,
but not from a server or network. Is there a way on starting the application
that I can check if the application is on a server and stop it from running?
Thanks.

check out this link http://www.csharpfriends.com/dotnet/...d_version.aspx
it shows how to use the System.Operatin gSystem object to get the version
major and minor and determine the system it is on. You could determine if
it is on one of those servers and stop the app.

Have a look at the System.Environm ent class, especially the static OSVersion
property.
Here is KB article that I think addresses your problem: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304283
Have a look at this link for all of the combinations of major version/minor

Do you mean that you don't want the user to be able to install the app on a
file share and run it over a network?
You can access the directory where the app is running from and then ask the
OS if the drive is a networked share. If so, stop.

Nick,
This is exactly what I would like to do. Easy enuf to access the directory
where app is running but what CODE is used to "ask the OS if the drive is a
networked share"? Specific code would be very helpful. Thanks again.

I've been tossing around an idea here in the shop for a while, and I am
curious if anyone else out there would be interested.
I am thinking of creating a server implementation for Access MDBs.
It's a fairly straight-forward idea. The server would be a program
that would listen for SQL commands, such as SELECTs or INSERTs to be
sent to it (over TCP/IP). In turn, it would run the SQL against the
local database and return either records...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
