Or if you prefer WMI:

using (System.Managem ent.ManagementC lass mc = new
System.Manageme nt.ManagementCl ass("Win32_Oper atingSystem"))
{
string windir = string.Empty;
ManagementObjec tCollection.Man agementObjectEn umerator moen =
mc.GetInstances ().GetEnumerato r();
if (moen.MoveNext( ))
{
windir = moen.Current["WindowsDirecto ry"].ToString();
}
}

I'm having a credentialing problem in my web application. Actually, I don't think this is an IIS security issue, since I'm able to access the page I'm requesting. However, the executing page itself is not able to access a specific network resource and I just can't figure out why. First of all, let me say this worked fine with IIS running on Win2000 Server. This has not worked since I upgraded to Windows Server 2003. My Platform: Windows...

Hi All! I have a ASP.NET 2.0 site that works on the Windows 2000 Server. However, when I tried to view this site on my local Windows XP machine, I get "Server Unavailable". If I switch the Windows XP IIS back to ASP.NET 1.1 then I get the Configuration Error (which is understandable because I'm trying to run an ASP.NET 2 site with 1.1 framework). I can however view other ASP.NET 1.1 sites on my local Windows XP machine. It's only the...

I have come up with an idea but I don't know how close it fits a "typical" windows project. If you know of specific...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
