Create a Shortcut in the Startup Folder using C# without Interop

by rahul 4/23/2012 6:29:02 PM
While writing a utility, I needed a feature that it would run at startup. I also wanted to ensure that it is a configurable setting. Seemed like a pretty easy thing to do… and went for it, only to realize that it is not as easy as it looks initially. First up, creating a shortcut itself tends to be ... [More]

Insert any binary file in C# assembly and extract it at runtime

by rahul 4/3/2010 1:03:40 PM
Problem> There is a binary file (I’ll use an Excel file) that you want to embed in any C# assembly. Later on, at runtime, you want to extract the file from the EXE and continue working on it. In this post, I will share the code and describe how you can do that. You can use the same technique for ... [More]

Explaining Delegates in C# - Part 5 (Asynchronous Callback - Way 2)

by rahul 1/22/2009 11:40:21 AM
In this part of making asynchronous programming with delegates, we will talk about a different way, which is a little better than Way 1. In the previous post, it was like a husband telling his wife... You know honey, I have a lot of work to do. Why don't you help me up by doing something that you ca... [More]

Explaining Delegates in C# - Part 3 (Events again)

by rahul 1/20/2009 8:09:14 PM

A couple of days ago, I received an email which said that may be it is not that good as to explain what I want to achieve in life through that event. So, I thought why not write another post on Delegates and Ev... [More]

A C# Argument Parser for a Windows Console Application

by praveen 1/11/2009 4:13:56 PM
There are a multitude of Argument Parsers available online. So why am I writing my own? Well to be frank… I did a search and couldn’t find anything that would be either “easy” to implement. I know that this is not much, but hope other programmers might find this useful if they are as lazy as I am an... [More]

How To Configure and Use the Logging Application Block

by praveen 1/5/2009 8:58:05 AM
I recently downloaded the Enterprise Library 4.1 released in October 2008. I guess the enterprise library has done a lot of improvements from the 3.x version to the current 4.x that's available and not just making it work with .NET Framework 3.5 and integration with WCF.
