C# :: Detecting Previous Installs?
Jul 16, 2014
Say a user installs and uses the software for awhile. Then they uninstall it. Client wants the database containing client data to remain behind, in case they ever re-install the software. Which is fine.
So then.. they re-install the software. Client wants them to have the choice to either use the existing database, or to create a new one. When the software fires up, it always checks for the database, and creates one if it's not there. So how can I determine if the instance is a new install, or a current install, given that the database will be there no matter what?

I have source code that is shared between two compilers, one supports TR1 and one doesn't. I've reverse engineered a few of the TR1 templates for the older compiler, but I need to be able to detect whether TR1 is supported or not, so as to include the correct header.
Something like this.
Code:
#ifdef SUPPORTS_TR1
#include <array>
#else
#include "mystl/array"
#endif
std::array<int, 10> myarray;
The compiler that supports TR1 is Visual Studio.

I have a direct2d application and I want to be able to detect mouse clicks. One example is, (in my borderless window) I would like to have an X at the top right of the screen, that when clicked would close the window. How can I do something like this?

Code:
#include "opencv2/video/tracking.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc_c.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
[Code] ....
The above code is all I have so far. I got confused when I got to the part where my book on C tells me I need to use the cvCalcOpticalFlowFarneback() function to compare 2 consecutive images from the webcam and create the optical flow, and then measure movement between the frames to detect whether or not a person is moving through the room. How to do this, and the OpenCV wiki wasn't very descriptive on how to set it up for beginners. Honestly, the parameters just confused me and I didn't see a return value listed, or how you would get data from it.

Just wrote this extremely simple program but it seems to be malfunctioning. It counts correctly the number of uppercase letters in a string so long as i don't use the space-bar. once I add a space it only counts the number of uppercase letters of the first word..
printf("I ..........ing love programming");
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
char text[200];
int i = 0;
int uppercase = 0;
printf("Enter text:");
scanf("%s", text);

I am performing arithmetic operations on very large integers that operate around the threshold of the maximum positive integer an int variable can handle (i.e. 2147483647) for a 32-bit machine. I have been studying the in-built functions in the C++ Standard Library for some time now where I came across some error detecting functions in the <cmath> and <cerrno> header files. The impression I got from the literature is that they are solely used in conjunction with functions contained in the <cmath> header file and not necessarily with fundamental arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction.
I need a means to know when my arithmetic operations generate overflows/underflows! Is there any way I can adapt the functionalities of these functions to my needs?

Here is a simplified version of my Menu class, where submenus can be inserted arbitrarily deep. I need to add a new functionality "go back to previous menu", which I would like to be activated by entering 0 (universal command for all Menu instances). I considered the Memento Pattern, but that doesn't seem to quite fit. add that functionality to my Menu class.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
const int END = -1, NO_SUBMENU = 0;

I am in the process of creating a game that has two players machine and person. The player is selected randomly each round. So if the player is selected, he needs to choose a number from 1-9. Then the machine needs to choose another new number either in the same row or colunm.(i figured out how to check against col.and row). Then keep going until someone reaches 31.
I'm stuck on how to add the numbers from previous rounds and have them reflect in the new rounds. While at the same time using the last entered number(last numbers) as a reference has to whether or not the new number is valid.
Ok I created a while loop as suggested. But it is not adding each round like it should. So the question is: What is wrong with the code after the while loop?
while ((x != 0) && (suma < Meta)){
cout << "SUM =" << x + last number << endl;
if (player == Person) {
x = machinerandomnDigit(last number);
sum = sum + x;
player = Person;
last number = x;
[Code]...

I am trying to detect keys pressed on a keyboard and mouse on both, Windows and Linux but I am unsure what would be the best practice way to do so. Will I have to detect the keys for each platform individually? Would you make use of an event listener? What's the best way to detect the input-devices?

I would like the user to insert a CD into their computer and click on an button on my application that allows them to read the CD-ROM and find a specific file type, e.g. csv, and then grab the info in the csv file.
I already have my StreamReader setup grabbing a filepath.
Now I am just wondering...how do I detect the CD-ROM and how do I grab the filepath of the only CSV file on the CD-ROM?
What's behind detecting a CD-ROM and grabbing a specific file type from a CD-ROM?
I heard about DriveInfo
However, that only allows me to detect a drive but not look at it's contents.

I need use GetTextExtent and I don't understant why GetTextExtent always return the same value if I change some values of the selected font. This is my example:
Code:
LOGFONT lf;
pOldFont->GetLogFont(&lf);
CString sExampleSizeByChar;
sExampleSizeByChar = _T("hello");
DWORD dwPixelsByChar = dc.GetTextExtent(sExampleSizeByChar).cx / 1.15;
[Code] ....
Why I get always the value 24 when I call GetTextExtent if I change the font size?

How do I detect garbage chars in a CString. Actually I'm reading some data from COM port. In some certain condition it will give some garbage as a version no. Now I need to show _T("N/A") in case of there is any garbage.
My solution is to check for a Valid char or integer. If found its correct else Garbage.

I have written ( using VS2008 c++ ) a windows service which sends information about PC usage to a central database, as part of a PC availability setup. I have been asked to add the following functionality to it:
1) What applications are most used, when and how long for, and
2) What web sites are being accessed, again to find the most popular etc.
My main question is, what functionality is there to trap application start / close events from within my service ( just need the application name ), and secondly I am already using sockets to send information to a PHP script on a server, the best way to see what web pages are being accessed is to build in a packet sniffer, and extract the information from that.

I have a condition and I would like to instead change the condition so that it would execute the previous statements after else statement.
It seems hard to explain but I'll try my best to illustrate anyway
if (condition)
<statement1>
else
<statement2>
So I would like to change the condition so that
if (condition)
<statement2>
else
<statement1>
And the condition is
Code:
if(!lightStateAtNextLink || !bIsLightEnAtConnection && nLinkNext.IndexToAttachedNode() != pVeh->_.stAutopilot.m_dwNextNode || bIsLightEnAtConnection && nLinkNext.IndexToAttachedNode() == pVeh->_.stAutopilot.m_dwNextNode)
And I have changed that to this. Is this correct?
Code: if(lightStateAtNextLink && bIsLightEnAtConnection || nLinkNext.IndexToAttachedNode() == pVeh->_.stAutopilot.m_dwNextNode && !bIsLightEnAtConnection || nLinkNext.IndexToAttachedNode() != pVeh->_.stAutopilot.m_dwNextNode)

For my assignment I have to have an array with only zeros.
Code:
int a[20] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; Then I need to send it into a function that makes the array like this
Code: int a[20] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6, ... , 19}
Which I have done here
Code:
int initialize(int a[], int n) {
int m = 0;
int i;
printf("
[Code] ....
Now I need to do the following with the array. I need to take whatever value is in each position and add that value to all of the previous values. like this.
Code:
a[3] = a[3] + a[2] + a[1] + a[0]
only for every a[i] I know that I can code this the long way, but I just can't see to be able to find out how to do this a better way.

using namespace std;
//class declaration
class dayType{
public: int presday;
[Code] ....
So everything works perfectly, well not everything lol. Code compiles successfully without any errors but previous day does not calculate. In a sense that when it asks for number of previous days it returns a blank statement.
For example: Previous number day is: shows nothing

Below is the sample of the code :
int summation = 0;
for (it= s.begin(); it!= s.end(); ++it) {
summation += std::atoi( ((*it).substr( 8 )).c_str() );
}
Nos after the first 8 characters are the ones I need to perform addition on.
do the summation of these nos.

I have started making a text adventure game.
if (Choice == 2) {
cout << "" << endl << "You follow the light to the end of the hallway, you find your self in a room" << endl
<< "with natural light coming from a hole in the ceiling." << endl << "" << endl << "You hear the door you just came through, slam behind you!" << endl << "" << endl
<< "There are three possible directions." << endl << "" << endl << "Do you:" << endl << "" << endl << "1) Go forward" << endl << "" << endl << "2) Go left" << endl
[Code] .....
Ignore the if (Choice == 2) at the beginning, that's linked to some previous code.
I want to make the player go back to the first bit of text but i'm not sure how to do this if they keep choosing to go back and forth from one location.
I first thought of doing it by just putting the text back in after they have chosen the option, but I can't do this infinite times.

I'm creating a program that is based on a menu system. Basically each menu is its own user-defined function. The problem is at each menu you can input 'b' to go to the previous menu. I just have it call the function of that menu.
However, do the functions need to complete themselves eventually? If I just keep calling functions will I just keep going further and further deeper into ever running functions?
If so how do I avoid this and yet keep the option to go back to a previous menu/function?
