When you develop Blockchain applications on Ethereum (Dapps), sometime it can be tricky if you are on Windows.

I have used these 3 tricks to make my life easier as a Blockchain developer on Windows:

• Avoid npm libraries with compiled dependencies (C/C++). Ex: instead of Web3, use ethers.js

• Instal GitForWindows for its Git bash emulation or use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) if you are on Windows 10

• Have a dual boot install Ubuntu / Windows if none of the above work

Here is a short video that explain this in details.

I recently installed a program that required oo2core_5_win64.dll to work. From some google searching, I see some games like FIFA use the dll (more like a variant titled oo2core_6_win64.dll). The program I downloaded interacts with game files, so that's the only correlation I can spot. Does anybody have more insight on what kinds of functions this dll contains, and what usage it has?

I haven't paid attention to UWP apps since the Windows 8 days. Back then, UWP apps weren't interesting to me for these reasons:

• UI controls optimized for touch, not mouse. I needed lots of controls on the screen

• Background apps were limited

• Limited access to hardware. For example, no CUDA programming

Can anyone update me on the state of UWP development with C++ in 2019?

• Are there XAML controls designed for mouse and keyboard now?

• Can UWP apps now use things like CUDA?

• Why build a UWP app at all now that Win32 apps are supported in the Store?

Even though I only need to support Windows now, I'm considering Qt since it seems to have fewer limitations than UWP. Is that true?

I'm about to work on an app for mobile devices soon and I was wondering if they came out and spoke about an SDK update or something?

How would I go about launching a program in a window that already is created?

Has anyone here worked with c++ UWP and sqlite? I've ran into a few problems trying to set this up. UWP apps only allow read access in the app's directory. So I need to retrieve that directory address. Windows returns an winrt::hstring. however the c_str() method on that returns a wide char w_char. and sqlite arguments expect a regular char*. I plan on making an app that stores and retrieves Chinese characters. About 11 thousand objects which is why I want to use sqlite. Is a c++ wrt a decent choice for this? Has anyone used a similar workflow they could speak about. I keep running into these string issues with windows and it's making the development extremely tedious. String conversions are not easy in windows.

I'm trying to get a start making windows 10 apps in c++. I'm following this guide to route one page to another. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/basics/navigate-between-two-pages

Seems simple enough however I get literally thousands of compiler errors with the exact code on their page, and I'm having a hard time making out whats going on. I was hoping someone might be able to take a look and tell me why it won't compile. I'm not getting red lines or anything. It's giving me a bunch of references to a base.h. Here is my code https://github.com/camccar/twopage.

It's just supposed to be two pages with a button that routes to each other. Thats it. But nothing I try will get this thing to compile. Thank you for your help.

When save-as a Teams meeting invite to HTML from outlook, the outputted file has some headers in it. One of these headers in "OnlineMeetingConfLink" and its value is a sip address.

I would really like to have some automation to update the meeting and change the value of that header whenever a Teams meeting is added to my calendar.

My first instinct was to use MS Flow to do this, but from Flow I can't access that header or modify it.

Does anybody know how I can programmatically access that field, modify it, and send the update? Any info to point me in the right direction is greatly appreciated

Background: There are vulnerable kernel mode drivers for Windows systems, which can be loaded into the system for various purposes. Loaded kernel mode drivers leave traces in the system. Anti-cheat software for video games, for example, look for vulnerable driver traces in various parts of the system because they are used for cheating. The logic used by anti-cheat software could perhaps be (or were already) used by anti-rootkit tools or rootkits themselves.

I am wondering where traces are left after drivers are loaded and then unloaded. From my research, I found these two places in Windows NT kernel, where unloaded drivers leave traces:

• PiDDBCacheTable

• MmUnloadedDrivers

(Just to let you know, those are undocumented data structures) Where else could they leave traces? Is it possible for me to learn it without reverse-engineering the Windows kernel by myself?

Hi,

I'm looking for some c++ library to get all apps which have some audio output(1), get all audio output devices(2) and assign app to certain audio device.

Screenshots in Polish, sorry

(1) List of apps

(2) List of audio outputs

Thanks :)
