Well, I am posting an article after a long gap. When i was reading a C++ Programming, i came across a programme that was showing using of very long integers. It was quiet good and that impressed me and made me write the same in C#....
This article series will explore practical uses and applications of design patterns in day to day development practices, using practical examples in C#. The first article (one of hopefully many more to come) will cover the Decorator Pattern. This series is also published on my Blog C# | B# | Stay# [^] which as its name implies celebrates the #-ness in all things!...
Though it has only been around for a relatively short amount of time, Windows PowerShellTM is already one of my favorite tools. I recently discovered that Windows PowerShell has all the features you need for creating a tiny library that will enable you to write ultralightweight UI automation....
There are several techniques you can use to test the user interface of a Windows® application. For example, you can use System.Reflection classes to test Microsoft® .NET Framework applications or you can test both .NET and native applications by calling Win32® API functions such as FindWindow—either with unmanaged C++ or with C# or Visual Basic® by using the P/Invoke mechanism....
Windows PowerShellTM, the new Microsoft command shell and scripting language, is a great platform for several kinds of lightweight test automation. In this month's Test Run column, I show you how to use Windows PowerShell to create quick and easy UI test automation for any kind of Web application by automating Internet Explorer®. This column is primarily intended for beginners, but experienced engineers will find some interesting information here, too....
This article describes a very simple COM component created with C# and the way, how to deploy it as an MSI installation file created with NAnt and NAntContrib. The created MSI will build and install the COM component so that it can be used from VBS and C++ clients. The created type library can be also used from a VBA code after few manual operations as well....

We think about threats against our assets: our families, our jewelry, and our sentimental and irreplaceable photographs (well, those of us old enough to have photos that never existed in digital form do). We model threats based on architecture: there's a wall here, a picture window there, and an easily climbed tree that we can use when we forget our keys....
