Hi,
In linux, I can hook the read, write, seek etc operations performed on
a FILE stream created using either open or create.

Can I do that in windows as well? Any particular way of hooking these
FILE I/O operations?

What is the difference between "CPU Load" and "Total Memory Used" ?

Our system is a file processing system which reads input file and
processes it based on different conditions and writes an output file.
These are several application windows services do different jobs
during the processing. So far we have run only large file of 300,000
lines. We had some performance issues but finally processed it
successfully. Now the target is to run files having 500,000 or even
1,000,000 lines/records.

I was asked to look for any performance issues. Here I am going to
brief you what the system does.

I use VS 2005 at work, but at home I've just got a copy of 2003 that I
simply don't like. I'm thinking about shifting to VS Express 2005 at
home, but I can't for the life of me find where to download the MFCs to
use with it.

I understand they're not part of the standard download VS Express
package, but they are downloadable - anyone know where? The MS website
is its usual helpful self when it comes to searching.

Can anyone direct me to any tutorial articles relating to writing

Thanx in advance.

Hi folks --

I'm developing a DLL and sometimes, while I'm debugging, the main .EXE
exits leaving the DLL's reference count greater than 0. This means
that I can't rebuild (VS2005) the DLL because it cannot be deleted/
overwritten: I have to restart the machine to make the DLL go away.

Is there some way I can delete this DLL unconditionally, regardless of
its state?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have some doubts regarding the event handling process in Windows. I
referred many books (Windows Internals, Programming Applications for
Microsoft

Windows, Windows System Programming) but could not find a complete
picture of the event handling mechanism. I did search on the internet
too.

Can some one please point me towards any resource on the internet or
some book that describes the entire process in detail?

I understood the process in bits and pieces. I have summarised my
understanding of the process below. Please correct me.

I will take the example of a keyboard event. SEE Q-1, Q-2, Q-3, Q-4
AND Q-5 FOR QUESTIONS.

1) User has hit some key on the key board and generates a hardware
interrupt
2) CPU is interrupted by the Interrupt Controller which converts the
IRQ to an interrupt number representing the interrupt....
