Determine if current terminal server session is running excel

1 New Member
Hi All, Coding in C#.Net 2.0

A requirement of my app is that certain functions should not be allowed to execute if excel is running. The app is used in terminal server sessions so checking if "excel.exe" is run by current username is not good enough.

I need to determine if the session running my app, is also running excel.

I have an application written in c$ that needs to be run in 3 different terminal server sessions on a windows 2003 server.

Hi peoples, I dont know where to place this question, so as I know you guys are all resourceful experts, I thought I would try here. I am writing some code which will be run usingh remote desktop ( On windows 2003 Server ), I need to determine in the code the machine name and username. If I use GetUsername and GetMachineName, it simply gives me the name of the currently logged on user ( at the Server ) and the Servers Machine Name.

Is there any way in a .NET App to detect if it is being run under Terminal Server? I have some functions of my program (like launching emails, and saving files) that need to be handled differently if the user is running it locally, or if they're running under Terminal Server.

Is it possible to detect whether my application is running within a Terminal Server session or not? I'd like to automatically switch off some of my graphics rendering under this environment as they can be quite slow to transfer over a terminal server session. The graphics should still be displayed when running directly on a local session. Thanks,

I am interested in scanning web pages for content of interest, and then auto-classifying that content. I have tables of metadata that I can use for the classification, e.g. : "John P. Jones" "Jane T. Smith" "Fred Barzowsky" "Department of Oncology" "Office of Student Affairs" "Lewis Hall" etc. etc. etc. I am wondering what the efficient way to do this in code might be. The dumb and brute-force way would be to loop through the content...

If I run the apps on my workstation they work fine. In one of the problem apps, it runs flawless except for a similar...

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
