Is there a way to get jQuery&#39;s Ajax module? The point is I do not need the whole library, but only its Ajax module (I need to include this module in several iframes). 

Is there a jQuery stand-alone Ajax module?

I want to convert PDF to SVG please suggest some libraries/executable that will be able to do this efficiently. I have written my own java program using the apache PDFBox and Batik libraries - 

    PDDocument document = PDDocument.load( pdfFile );
    DOMImplementation domImpl =
        GenericDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation();
    
    // Create an instance of org.w3c.dom.Document.
    String svgNS = &quot;http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&quot;;
    Document svgDocument = domImpl.createDocument(svgNS, &quot;svg&quot;, null);
    SVGGeneratorContext ctx = SVGGeneratorContext.createDefault(svgDocument);
    ctx.setEmbeddedFontsOn(true);
    
    // Ask the test to render into the SVG Graphics2D implementation.
    
        for(int i = 0 ; i &lt; document.getNumberOfPages() ; i++){
            String svgFName = svgDir+&quot;page&quot;+i+&quot;.svg&quot;;
            (new File(svgFName)).createNewFile();
            // Create an instance of the SVG Generator.
            SVGGraphics2D svgGenerator = new SVGGraphics2D(ctx,false);
            Printable page  = document.getPrintable(i);
            page.print(svgGenerator, document.getPageFormat(i), i);
            svgGenerator.stream(svgFName);
        }
This solution works great but the size of the resulting svg files in huge.(many times greater than the pdf). I have figured out where the problem is by looking at the svg in a text editor. it encloses every character in the original document in its own &lt;text&gt; &lt;/text&gt; block even if the font properties of the characters is the same. For example the word hello will appear as 6 different text blocks. Is there a way to fix the above code? or please suggest another solution that will work more efficiently.

I am trying to setup my TFS2010 Build and I want to access the files that are downloaded via the &quot;Version control path to custom assemblies&quot;.

From what I can tell those files are downloaded to:

`C:\User\&lt;Build User&gt;\AppData\Local\BuildAgent\&lt;Built Agent Number&gt;`

I can directly access that folder via the above path, but it would be nice if there was an environment variable (or something I can use in the build) to access that folder indirectly.

Or... Is there a better way to get at these files?  (I am putting a version file in there to be downloaded every time the build is run).



Environment Variable for AppData\Local / Access Downloaded custom assemblies

I am trying to setup my TFS2010 Build and I want to access the files that are downloaded via the "Version control path to custom assemblies".
From what I can tell those files are downloaded to:
<code>C:\User\&#x3C;Build User>\AppData\Local\BuildAgent\&#x3C;Built Agent Number></code>
I can directly access that folder via the above path, but it would be nice if there was an environment variable (or something I can use in the build) to access that folder indirectly.

When I&#39;m developing something that sends email, I sometimes don&#39;t want to actually send any email, but I do want to see what email would be sent using live data. However, there&#39;s not an easy way to do this, as I haven&#39;t found a local SMTP server that will receive my mail and then just hold it for me in a queue so I can view it.

In Windows XP and Vista, I used the locally installed SMTP server and just set it to deliver to a smart host that didn&#39;t exist - the mail just sat in the &quot;inetput\mailroot\queue&quot; folder forever, and I could view it whenever I wanted to. However, in Windows 7, there&#39;s no longer an integrated SMTP server, and though I&#39;ve found a number of SMTP servers that can be installed locally and relay mail for me, I want one that **won&#39;t** relay mail.

Does anybody have suggestions on how to accomplish this functionality? I&#39;ve considered writing my own, but implementing the whole RFC spec seemed like a big task if there&#39;s something out there. Maybe there&#39;s an open-source project that I could modify just to write the mail to disk instead of delivering it.

I have a batch file daily.bat, this is the code:

    cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot\infoweb\factuur\cron
    c:\PHP\php.exe -f ./cron_pdf.php
    ftp -s:ftp_upload.txt ftp.site.be

And I created a task with task scheduler in Windows 7. When I run the batch manually, everything goes fine, but when I try to run it with the task scheduler nothing happens.

My action is 

    &#39;run script&#39; &quot;C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site\x\cron\daily.bat&quot;

UAC is off and I am Admin.

Any idea why this is not working?

I&#39;ve been using Git on both Windows and Ubuntu during the development of a small project, frequently flipping back and forth between the two. The issue is that *Git Bash* consistently becomes slow.

When I say slow, I mean that running `cd` takes anywhere from 8-25 seconds, running `git` commands take from 5-20 seconds, and `ls` can take up to 30 seconds sometimes. Needless to say, this is not fun, not to mention unproductive. I know Git is slower on Windows, but this is ridiculous.

The one solution which has worked--temporarily--for me has been to disable my network connection (as suggested in [this answer][1]), start Git Bash, and then reconnect. Sometimes it continues to run quickly for days after doing that, but the performance always degrades eventually. I&#39;ve trawled through the msysgit discussion group, Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow, msysgit issue list, etc. on and off for weeks, but I haven&#39;t been able to turn up solutions which work.

So far, I&#39;ve tried:

 - Adding Git &amp; project folders to the virus scanner&#39;s exclusion list
 - Disabling my virus scanner completely (Kaspersky IS 2011)
 - Ensuring that Outlook is not running (Outlook 2007)
 - Shutting down all other applications
 - Running Git Bash as administrator
 - Disabling network connection, starting Git Bash, and keeping connection disabled
 - Disabling network connection, starting Git Bash, re-enabling connection (works only occasionally)
 - Running `git gc`
 - And combinations of the above

I did read that a couple of people had success disabling Bash completion, but ideally I&#39;d like to keep that active. The version of msysgit is 1.7.3.1-preview20101002 &amp; the OS is Windows 7 x64. Running the same things on Linux is, predictably, lightning fast. I would use Linux exclusively, but I need to run stuff in Windows, too (certain applications, testing, etc.).

Has anyone encountered a similar issue? If so, what was the underlying problem and what was the solution (if any)?

This extends beyond just the Git repositories, but just for reference, the repositories I&#39;ve been using Git with have been pretty small: ~4-50 files maximum.

I&#39;m trying to figure out how to run Python programs with the Command Prompt on Windows 7. (I should have figured this out by now...)

When I typed &quot;python&quot; into the command prompt, I got the following error:
&gt;&#39;python&#39; is not recognized as an internal or external command,
&gt;operable program or batch file.

The first place I found when looking for help was this site: &lt;http://docs.python.org/faq/windows.html#how-do-i-run-a-python-program-under-windows&gt;.

It was somewhat helpful, but the tutorial was written for Windows 2000 and older, so it was minimally helpful for my Windows 7 machine. I attempted the following:
&gt;For older versions of Windows the easiest way to do this is to edit the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT &gt;file. You would want to add a line like the following to AUTOEXEC.BAT:

This file did not exist on my machine (unless I&#39;m mistaken). 

Next, I tried this: (here: &lt;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1522564/how-do-i-run-a-python-program&gt;)
&gt;Putting Python In Your Path
&gt;
&gt;Windows
&gt;
&gt;In order to run programs, your operating system looks in various places, and tries to match the name of the program / command you typed with some programs along the way.
&gt;
&gt;In windows:
&gt;
&gt;control panel &gt; system &gt; advanced &gt; |Environmental Variables| &gt; system variables -&gt; Path
&gt;
&gt;this needs to include: C:\Python26; (or equivalent). If you put it at the front, it will be the first place looked. You can also add it at the end, which is possibly saner.
&gt;
&gt;Then restart your prompt, and try typing &#39;python&#39;. If it all worked, you should get a &quot;&gt;&gt;&gt;&quot; prompt.

This was relevant enough for Windows 7, and I made my way to the System Variables. I added a variable &quot;python&quot;  with the value &quot;C:\Python27&quot;

I continued to get the error, even after restarting my computer.

Anyone know how to fix this?

We&#39;re working on Visual Studio 2010 and TFS 2010. We have our own BuildTemplate that is a copy of default template, but with some additions like (create Directory...), but the main point, that all that is in DefaultTemplate - is left.

We have witten &quot;unit&quot; tests that also are working. I have made Build definition that runs all the unit tests. Have read the information here - http://geekswithblogs.net/jakob/archive/2009/06/03/tfs-team-build-2010-running-unit-tests.aspx   and a lot of other places also.

Here&#39;s an issue with IIS 7.5 and ASP.NET that I&#39;ve been researching and getting nowhere with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My question is: using ASP.NET in IIS 7.5, how does IIS and/or the operating system allow the web application to write to a folder like `C:\dump` when running under full trust? How is it that I don&#39;t have to explicitly add write access for the application pool user (in this case `ApplicationPoolIdentity`)?

This much I know:

 - In IIS 7.5, the default Identity for an Application Pool is `ApplicationPoolIdentity`.
 - `ApplicationPoolIdentity` represents a Windows user account called &quot;IIS APPPOOL\AppPoolName&quot;, which is created when the Application Pool is created, where AppPoolName is the name of the Application Pool.
 - The &quot;IIS APPPOOL\AppPoolName&quot; user is by default a member of the `IIS_IUSRS` group.
 - If you are running under Full Trust, your web application can write to many areas of the file system (excluding folders like `C:\Users`, `C:\Windows`, etc). For example, your application will have access to write to some folders, like, `C:\dump`.
 - By default, the `IIS_IUSRS` group is not given read or write access to `C:\dump` (at least not access that is visible through the &quot;Security&quot; tab in Windows Explorer).
 - If you deny write access to `IIS_IUSRS`, you will get a SecurityException when trying to write to the folder (as expected).

So, taking all of that into account, how is write access granted to the &quot;IIS APPPOOL\AppPoolName&quot; user? The w3wp.exe process runs as this user, so what allows this user to write to a folder it doesn&#39;t seem to have explicit access to?

Please note that I understand this was probably done for the sake of convenience, since it would be a pain to grant a user access to every folder it needs to write to if you are running under Full Trust. If you want to limit this access, you can always run the application under Medium Trust. I am interested in finding out about the way the operating system and/or IIS allows these writes to take place, even though there appears to be no explicit file system access granted.

My CPU usage is 100% most of the the time in Windows Server 2008-R2 with my own vps, vmware, quad core, and 4GB Ram. When I open windows Task Manager and go to the resource monitor I see that 100% usage is because of `workerprocess.exe`.  I have 3 websites in my IIS.  

* How can I figure out which web site causes that usage
* How can I limit it to 80% usage of CPU?  
* Could it be a DDOS attack?  
* Is there any way to prevent DDOS?  
 
I installed eset-nod32 on my vps, but it doesn&#39;t show any attack in the logs.  I&#39;ve tried searching about IIS and preventing DDOS, and just found an extension for banning IP addresses, but how can I find which IP address are generating traffic?  


The web site is written in `ASP.NET` and `C#`. How can I determine what is happening on that web site and which lines of codes are causing that cpu usage?

Also, one of my web sites should access administrator&#39;s desktop and read and write some files.  So because of that I changed its application pool -&gt; identity (Process Model) to local system, and I don&#39;t know if it is related with the CPU usage or not.

We have recently upgraded all of our WebForms projects to .NET 4.5, and encountered a parser issue when loading pages with an `iFrame` element. We have corrected this by converting of the `iFrame` from `HtmlGenericControl` to `HtmlIframe`. This has corrected all of the parser errors when we run our code locally.

When we deploy the app, we get the following error message:

&gt;Parser Error Message: The base class includes the field &#39;frame&#39;, but its type (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlIframe) is not compatible with the type of control (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl).**

When I deploy the old code with the `HtmlGenericControl` the error goes away suggesting that even though we have installed .NET 4.5, the server is still using an older version? 

I&#39;ve tried removing and reinstalling .NET it making sure to register asp with IIS.

I have an asp.net webapplication that uploads files to a specific folder on the Web server. locally everything works fine, but when I deploy the application to the Webserver, I begin getting the error &quot;Access to the path &quot;D:\Attachments\myfile.doc&quot; is denied&quot;. I gave the &quot;IIS AppPool&quot; user that the application is running under full permission on the folder. I even gave &quot;Everyone&quot; full permissions, but with the same error.

I added the folder to the Exceptions list of the Antivirus, but with the same result. I am begining to suspect that maybe Windows Server 2008 R2 needs a trick for my upload to work. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks
