Windows Classic Samples

The IPConfig sample demonstrates how to programmatically retrieve IPv4 configuration information, mimicking the functionality of the IPCONFIG.EXE utility. It specifically showcases the use of the IP Helper APIs GetNetworkParams and GetAdaptersInfo.

Note: The GetAdaptersInfo function only retrieves IPv4 information.

The WSD stock quote sample demonstrates the basic usage of the Web Services for Devices (WSD) API through a stock quote application. The sample includes both a client and a service implementation based on the functionality described in StockQuote.wsdl and StockQuoteService.wsdl.

Requirements:

• Visual Studio: Requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or later (any SKU). It will not compile in Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows.
• Operating System (Client): Windows 8.1
• Operating System (Server): Windows Server 2012 R2

This sample demonstrates how to construct a remote runspace pool in Windows PowerShell to execute multiple commands concurrently.

Key objectives demonstrated in this sample include:

1. Creating a WSManConnectionInfo object.
2. Creating a runspace pool using that WSManConnectionInfo object.
3. Running cmdlets (such as Get-Process and Get-Service) concurrently via the remote runspace pool.
4. Properly closing the runspace pool.

This sample demonstrates an HTTP client using a service proxy to communicate with a calculator service. It implements mixed-mode security using the following configuration:

• Transport Security: The connection is protected (signed and encrypted) by SSL, which also provides server authentication.
• Client Authentication: Authentication is performed via a username/password pair included in a WS-Security header within the message.

The SetLocation sample demonstrates how to use the Windows 7 Location API to set the default location.

Workflow:

1. The application prompts the user to specify a civic address.
2. It creates a civic address location report from that input and prints its fields.
3. It calls IDefaultLocation::SetReport to set the default location.
4. The updated location can be verified in the Windows Control Panel.

This C++ sample demonstrates an end-to-end workflow using the Windows Storage Management API to manage storage subsystems. It is designed for storage application programmers familiar with WMIv2 and storage industry standards like SMI-S v1.5.

The application performs the following sequence:

1. Retrieves a subsystem object via a user-specified subsystem name.
2. Creates a storage pool in the subsystem using one physical disk.
3. Creates a virtual disk within that storage pool.
4. Creates a partition on the virtual disk.
5. Creates an NTFS volume on the partition.
6. Formats the volume.

This sample demonstrates rendering audio data in shared mode using the event-driven programming model via WASAPI. The implementation is organized as follows:

• WASAPIRendering.cpp: The main program entry point; handles command line parsing.
• CWASAPIRenderer (implemented in WASAPIRenderer.cpp): The core object that uses WASAPI to render audio buffers.
• ToneGen.h: Responsible for generating the audio samples.
• CmdLine.cpp: Contains the command line parser logic.
