TrafficLights

MSDN Code Gallery — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:51:05 GMT

I wanted to see the network activity other than in the system tray network icon, so I thought of using the keyboard's CAPS LOCK, SCROLL LOCK, and NUM key LEDs to display the network activity. TrafficLights is a simple application which blinks keyboard lights based on the network traffic on your computer. You can configure which light should blink on send or receive packets. It silently sits on your system tray. You can right click on TrafficLights' system tray icon to configure the LEDs or shut it down. This is just to learn how to trap network traffic and control keyboard LEDs in .NET.

Using Windows 7 to Monitor a Motion Sensor

MSDN Code Gallery — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:30:11 GMT

Includes a whitepaper as well as sample: firmware, driver, and application.

The whitepaper describes how you can build a simple motion sensor, a Sensor device driver, and a Sensor application that you can use to observe real-time sensor data in Windows 7.

The sample firmware can be used to program a Parallax BS2 microcontroller.

The sample driver supports communication between a Windows 7 application and the sensor. (Note that in addition to a passive-infrared motion sensor, the driver also supports a compass, a 2-axis accelerometer, and an ultra-sonic distance sensor.)

The sample application demonstrates the use of the Windows 7 Sensor API to acquire sensor data. With very little work, you can modify this application so that it receives data from any of the three other sensors which the driver supports.

Exchange Log Analyzer

MSDN Code Gallery — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:18:38 GMT

The ExLogAnalyzer is a framework that parses logs and triggers events based on the log entries. It can analyze (replay) logs across multiple servers and multiple log types in a single run. ExLogAnalyzer is extensible via per log type extension (which is the layer that maps the log syntax into semantics) as well as extensible via analyzers for such extensions. The goal of ExLogAnalyzer is to make it super easy for developers / customers to write their own analyzers which mine the logs to answer the question at hand. Note that the analyzers do not do any kind of parsing, but they process events raised by the extension and through the data made available to the event arguments, do the appropriate accounting. The ExLogAnalyzer was started as an internal project in Microsoft Exchange and has 3 log type extensions already implemented, but it is designed to work for any product once the appropriate extension is written. The community should be able to developer their own extensions and analyzers and share them or contribute them to the project.

Simple BlogML generator (ASP.NET sample code)

MSDN Code Gallery — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:52:21 GMT

This is a code sample using ASP.NET that queries a blog's database and creates a blogML file of it.

I created it as a quick and dirty way to port from my home grown blog to Oxite.

I thought other people might find it useful as a starting point. You'll need to modify the queries referenced to make it work with your blog. You'll probably need to mess with other bits too.

It doesn't produce perfect blogML, but it was good enough to port into Oxite.

Re-Building Network Utilities

MSDN Code Gallery — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:34:07 GMT

Re-Building Network Utilities
This is a simple network utility that will look for devices on the network. It’s a re-build and re-design of this Coding4Fun article http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive/2006/10/31/914076.aspx. I examined the approach described in this article; however, I couldn’t quite follow the choices made by the author. I implemented the tool using a ThreadPool and provided an interface that offers both my implementation ‘Scan (Thread Pool)’ and the previous implementation ‘Scan (Threads)’.

The project explores the System.Net.NetworkInformation namespace, the ListView Control, generics for the callbacks, System.Threading.ThreadPool, and finally form resizing all using Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition.

System.Net.NetworkInformation
The core functionality of this utility is to ping network addresses to determine what devices might be alive on the network. This becomes almost a trivial task using System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping. This class sends an ICMP echo request to a specified address.

One interesting thing I discovered using the PingReply Class (System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingReply) in the steps above, is that the PingReply.Address will be set to the address of the reply sender. For example, if you send a ping to 123.456.789.000 and that address corresponds to 60.50.40.30, PingReply.Address will be set to 60.50.40.30. In this implementation, I chose not to disclose those translations to the user interface although it might be valuable to add an additional column to show that information to the user. To hide this result, I added IPAddress to the class NetScanCompletedEventArgs.

Trian Whiteboard

MSDN Code Gallery — Fri, 15 May 2009 02:46:04 GMT

Microsoft has introduced another tool for Rich Interactive Applications: Microsoft Silverlight. Often compared to Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight is more than just a single component. For example, C# and VB-developers can utilize their knowledge of these programming languages and of the .NET Framework, while designers can utilize the surfaces of applications almost entirely independent from the application code. This example shows the realization of a possible business idea – from concept to the application code: collaboration support by means of a system and platform independent Whiteboard with Silverlight. Sometimes it is difficult to communicate ideas and problems among teams. This is particularly true when team members are in separate locations, and their communication is limited to phone and Internet. Using tools that aid in visualization will make communication borders obsolete. This sample shows a collaboration application with its technical background and architecture, which only requires a browser.

Broadband Scheduler

MSDN Code Gallery — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:04:08 GMT

Broadband service has some of the cheap and best monthly plans for the users all over the nation. And some of the plans include unlimited night downloads from certain time to the other.

In that case the unlimited net usage timing starts from the midnight, so it is a bit uncomfortable for the users to get up by that time and start their works in net. Most of the people just get up and start some downloads and turn off their monitor and sleep.

Well this software named as *Broadband Scheduler* is highly useful as it helps the user to set the time when the computer will automatically enable the Broadband (Internet) connection and start downloading by using other download applications like uTorrent, BitTorrent, FlashGet and other download manger software. This Broadband Scheduler application will automatically disable the Broadband connection (Internet) at the closing time we set. We can also set to shutdown the computer at the closing time. Another feature is that, user can set to open (start) the download applications like uTorrent, BitTorrent, FlashGet and other download manger software at the time of enabling the connection. Try this new *Broadband Scheduler v1.0* application and enjoy.

*The Broadband Scheduler application has two options for enabling the connection, *

1. Settings for Dial-up Connection (Bridging)
Users connect to Broadband manually by using Dial-up connection setup.

2. Settings for Auto Dial Connection (PPPoE Modem Auto Dail)
The Broadband Modem will automatically connect to Internet at time of start up.

*The following prerequisites is required:*

*.NET Framework 2.0 *

XNA Framework in other languages

MSDN Code Gallery — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:28:49 GMT

This solution demonstrates XNA Framework from C#, Visual Basic, C++/CLI and F#.

At the PDC, Frank Savage did a great job in presenting the XNA Game Studio 3.0 to the attendees. During his session he did a great demonstration and built a game in 30 minutes. I asked Frank for the code and content and have leveraged it in lots of sessions the last couple of months.

Almost all demos and samples for XNA Framework are built in C#, not surprisingly though since it's the primary language for XNA Framework development.

But now I've taken some time to translate Franks demo to a different project structure and in the same time write the actual Game-class in C#, Visual Basic, C++/CLI and F# which means you can debug and test the small game in these languages and learn a lot by doing so.

Reading JPEG dimensions on the cheap

MSDN Code Gallery — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:04:58 GMT

The common and easy way of reading the dimensions of a JPEG file is to new-up an Image object and then read its Height and Width properties. While this is easy and does work, it's expensive. It reads the entire image into memory just to get two small pieces of information that are stored in file. This function will get the JPEG image's dimensions by reading in the first few bytes of the file where the dimensions are stored. It's much faster and cheaper than newing-up and Image object.

I adapted some Java and Perl examples I found to work in C#. The only non-straight-forward thing here is reading bytes in big endian, but that's easily taken care of with a couple of extension methods.

TheNotifyIconExample is a Visual C# Project Template that defines and manages NotifyIcon, TaskBar, Mouse Clicks, ContextMenuStrips, Startup, Exit Logic, using Visual Studio Project User Settings.

No build is ever required after changing any setting.

Never waste time on any project designing any of this totally redundant code, even again. Have it ready to go, from the second your projects are created now and in the future.

Two templates are provided, one with and one without comments.

Works with all versions of Microsoft Visual C# including Express Editions.

Includes ClickOnce deployment and automatic-updates technology in project properties for web server and web site deployment, simple change the web site name.

Install the templates from the download tab and choose Open or Run

How To Use TheNotifyIconExample

Expression Tree Serialization

MSDN Code Gallery — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:13:17 GMT

The sample includes these components:
# *An Expression Tree serialization API*: A general purpose XML serialization of Expression Trees. This should work over any expression tree – though there are inevitably bugs. The serialization format is fairly crude, but has been expressive enough to support the variety of expression trees I’ve tried throwing at it.
# *A wrapper for serializing/deserializing LINQ to SQL queries*: A wrapper around the expression serializer allows serializing LINQ to SQL queries and de-serializing into a query against a given DataContext.
# *A WCF service which accepts serialized query expression trees and executes against a back-end LINQ to SQL*: To enable querying across tiers, a WCF service exposes service methods which execute serialized queries. The service implementation deserializes the queries against its LINQ to SQL connection.
# *An IQueryable implementation wrapping the client side of the WCF service*: The client-side calling syntax is simplified by providing an IQueryable implementation. This implementation, RemoteTable, executes queries by serializing the query expression tree and calling the appropriate service. The object model that the service user is able to query against is imported by the WCF service reference per the DataContracts on the LINQ to SQL mapping on the server side.

Mapping Inheritance trees using Entity Framework

MSDN Code Gallery — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:32:57 GMT

Microsoft's Entity Data Model allows us to define an application-oriented view of our data consistent with how we reason about that data. For object oriented modeling, the ability to quickly map inheritance hierarchies to RDBMS is the most important benefit of using Entity Framework, with its visual designer.
We will have working examples of TPT (Table per type), and TPH (Table per hierarchy) implemented in Visual Studio 2008 SP1.

.NET Application Modeling Language (nAML) Specification and Tools

MSDN Code Gallery — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 17:03:41 GMT

nAML (.NET Application Modeling Language, pronounced as “namel”) is a visual modeling semantics to model .net applications with wide range of specific details. It contains extremely powerful visual notations and semantics to illustrate complex application components, processes and operations easily.

The primary objectives of nAML can be considered as follows:

• Provides a single space to visually describe one or more application systems with structural and behavioral components.
• Provides a single space to visually describe one or more application systems with logical and physical components.
• Provides a single space to visually describe one or more application systems from top to low level.
• Provides a single space to visually describe a part or whole of one or more application systems.
• Extremely simple and easy understand and learn from readers and designers perspective.
• Concentrates on .NET applications, with its related logical and physical entities (user interface, application logic, business logic, database etc).

SharpPDB - PalmOS pdb file reader/writer

MSDN Code Gallery — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:22:08 GMT

About a year ego I needed to sync between an application I had on my PC to an application on my Palm device and so I've written a library in C# that can read and write pdb (palm database) files.

Like many other projects I forgot about it and left it half complete. A few days ago I stumbled upon my old C# project directory and found it again. It seems a shame to loose code I've worked on and that could benefit my follow coders.

Date Helper

MSDN Code Gallery — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 22:52:22 GMT

DateHelper provides common date functions in a C# helper/wrapper class. The class library includes extensions methods for some, but not all, of the methods. This class does nothing that cannot easily be done with a few lines (or just one line) of code. This is a simple class (and case) of date function refactoring and the benefits it brings.

The library consists of the two files: Main file DateHelper and DateHelperExtension.

Helper methods deal in 7 main sections:

Years
Months
Weeks
Days
Strings
Booleans
Lists - Returns lists of dates using a List<DateTime>

KillBit Explorer

MSDN Code Gallery — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:18:54 GMT

The ActiveX "killbit" has been in the security news lately, and I've always been mystified by how the 'killbit' works. Then I read an article in one of Microsoft's blogs that went into great detail about the ActiveX "killbit" and how it's actually configured and used (http://blogs.technet.com/swi/archive/2008/02/06/The-Kill_2D00_Bit-FAQ_3A00_-Part-1-of-3.aspx). And even further, Robert McLaws' blog article "IE8 and "Killbits'" (http://www.windows-now.com/blogs/robert/ie8-and-killbits.aspx) gave me the incentive to think of this as more than just a propellerhead problem.

Once I had that information in hand, and mostly because I was looking for a new challenge for my growing coding skills, I decided to write a .NET GUI app that would allow me to see which ActiveX controls had been "killbit'ed" (as well as explore all those ActiveX controls that were candidates for the "killbit").

I've left room in the application to be able to enable editing of the killbit (turning it on for additional controls, as well as *potentially* turn it off for already-"killbit'ed" controls), but in its initial form it's just a read-only exploration tool.

If you like it, and would like it to be enhanced in some way, let me know by posting a new Discussion or Issue in the project space. If you'd like more details on how it was constructed, ask away and I'll post explanations as answers (and as a way to document it as well).
