The File class only has a method to get the "last modified" time. According to some resources I found on Google, the File class doesn't provide a getCreationTime() method because not all file systems support the idea of a creation time.
The only working solution I found involes shelling out the the command line and executing the "dir" command, which looks like it outputs the file's creation time. I guess this works, I only need to support Windows, but it seems very error prone to me.
Are there any third party libraries that provide the info I need? | java | file-io | windows | null | null | null | open | How to discover a File's creation time with Java?

In subversion, this was pretty straightforward. However, it seems to be an incredible headache in TFS.
Am I being dense? Is there a simple way to do this I'm missing?
These are the options I found -
1. manually get prior version of each file
b. check out for edit
c. FAIL - the checkout (in VS2008) forces me to get the latest version
2. download Team Foundation Power Tools
b. issue rollback command from cmd line
c. FAIL - won't work if there are any other pending changes
3. manually undo my changes, then commit a new changeset
I'm flabergasted at how tedious this is. I think even VSS supported an easier mechanism to rollback a change.

In normal view, VEMap.GetMapView().TopLeftLatLong and .BottomRightLatLong return the coordinates I need; but in Birdseye view they return blank (or encrypted values).

This means that when the user logs onto one of the clients, it has the wrong userid, which causes all sorts of problems. I've done `"cd /var/yp; make"` on the server, and `"service ypbind restart"` on the client, but that hasn't fixed the problem.

I understand the process of a client receiving mail from a server using POP pretty well. I also understand how a client computer can use SMTP to ask an SMTP server to send a message. However, I'm still missing something...
The way I understand it, outgoing mail has to make three trips:
1. Client (gmail user using Thunderbird) to a server (Gmail)
2. First server (Gmail) to second server (Hotmail)
3. Second server (Hotmail) to second client (hotmail user using OS X Mail)
As I understand it, step one uses SMTP for the client to communicate. The client authenticates itself somehow (say, with USER and PASS), and then sends a message to the gmail server.
However, I don't understand how gmail server transfers the message to the hotmail server.
For step three, I'm pretty sure, the hotmail server uses POP to send the message to the hotmail client (using authentication, again).
So, the big question is: **when I click send Mail sends my message to my gmail server, how does my gmail server forward the message to, say, a hotmail server so my friend can recieve it?**
Thank you so much!

* Fire and forget
* Persistent set of messages, possibly updating, to stay there until the sender says to remove them
The libraries will be written in C#. Spring.NET just released a milestone build with lots of nice messaging abstraction, which is great - I plan on using it extensively. My basic question comes down to the question of message brokers. My architecture will look something like app -> message broker queue -> server app that listens, dispatches all messages to where they need to go, and handles the life cycle of those long-lived messages -> message broker queue or topic -> listening apps.
Finally, the question: Which message broker should I use? I am biased towards [ActiveMQ][1] - We used it on our last project and loved it. I can't really think of a single strike against it, except that it's Java, and will require java to be installed on a server somewhere, and that might be a hard sell to some of the people that will be using this service. The other option I've been looking at is MSMQ. I am biased against it for some unknown reason, and it also doesn't seem to have great multicast support.
Has anyone used MSMQ for something like this? Any pros or cons, stuff that might sway the vote one way or the other?
One last thing, we are using .NET 2.0.

I'm working on a messaging/notification system for our products. Basic requirements are:
* Fire and forget
* Persistent set of messages, possibly updating, to stay there until the sender says to remove them
The libraries will be written in C#. Spring.NET just released a milestone build with lots of nice messaging abstraction, which is great - I plan on using it extensively. My basic question comes down to the question of message brokers. My architecture will look something like app -> message broker queue -> server app that listens, dispatches all messages to where they need to go, and handles the life cycle of those long-lived messages -> message broker queue or topic -> listening apps.

Manufacturing puts the cards in a machine, boots off the CD, the CD writes the firmware, they power off and pull the cards.

The method isn't found, because it just isn't apart of the Page. Where should I be looking? I'm fairly sure this is possible because I've seen other controls do similar.
----------
I forgot to mention, my work-around is to give the control events and attaching to them in the Code-behind.

I have a few questions:
* Will that be faster or slower or it depends (planning to benchmark both way as soon as can get a decent simulation of the new load)
* Why will it help / hinder performance.
