Finally got around to posting my first article to CodeProject.com. I’ve found the site to be quite useful, and I’ve been wanting to contribute to it for some time now. I figured I could fill a niche related to saving and retrieving files to/from a SQL 2005 and above database. Check it out here – [...]

My first app is for sale – RunAsPlus – on AllMyApps.com, a new windows app store that is trying to capture the idea that the iPhone and Android have been making waves with.

Continued from part 1 For the brave (and those with programming experience), CodeProject (as usual) has a lengthy, thorough article with a complete example. See http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/Reflection.aspx if you wish. My example is much more focused. So…how to call a certain method at runtime by passing a string… Couple of “big deals” to keep in mind: [...]

Working hard to finish up my grad program @ Ferris State University…posting may be erratic for awhile – bear with me. .NET, C#, and COM will be me life for a bit – will work to post some information about useful tidbits… For example, my first challenge of my project (creating an interface for managing multiple remote [...]
