How To Use C# Constructors
Initialization of values of different variables is critical in any application development. C# does initialize simple data-types to default values as per the language specification in the .Net framework, but for classes that are user specific, it is obvious that you would be the only one who can decide what is an ideal default value. The means of achieving this is Constructors. There is also a perception that constructors can only be used beyond initialization, which is true to some extent. We will examine them in the following sections.

Shell Commands Within C#
In this article we will examine a few examples for executing shell commands outside of our program using C#. In VB.Net, we can make use of the familiar Shell command to run an executable program. However the Shell function is not available in C#. The Process Class provides access to local and remote processes and enables you to start and stop local system processes.

Create FTP and Web IIS Virtual Directory Using C#
In this example we will create a Windows Form Project that will create new FTP and Web IIS Virtual Directories from code based on the name and path specified by the user. You can create virtual directories on the local computer by specifying the server name as “localhost” or you can create the virtual directory on a remote computer by specifying the machine name.

Input Validation In C And C++
Eavesdropping attacks are often easy to launch, but most people don't worry about them in their applications. Instead, they tend to worry about what malicious things can be done to the machine on which the application is running. Most people are far more worried about active attacks than they are about passive attacks.

C++:Beyond The Standard Library
Once you have mastered the C++ language and the standard library, what do you tackle next? The C++ community has plenty to keep you busy for years to come. To start with, you might take a look at the many C++ libraries that extend the standard. Sure, the C++ library has strings, I/O streams, containers, iterators, algorithms, and all that fun stuff. But it lacks much that is commonplace in modern computing: networks, GUIs, concurrency, and so on.

Using Network Functions In Visual C#.NET (Part II - Group Functions)

As you will have seen in Part 1, we discussed all the function relating to managing users on a local machine. In this article we shall look at how to Manage Groups on a local computer (i.e. Adding Groups, Deleting) and also how users interact with these groups (i.e. Adding/Removing users to groups). This article aims to flow from Part 1 and assume that Part 1 has been read. In this article we are going to look at the following functions:

Difference "using" Directive And Statement
Welcome to another "How-to" article in Visual C#.NET. This article will focus on the Network functions within the Win32 API library associated with Network Management. The first thing is to point out is that there are two ways to manage users using the .NET Framework, the first being the Active Directory method, as you will notice you need to have Active Directory Installed and if you were managing users on a small network or on a stand alone station Active Directory won't be install and it would be not worth installing it.When you create objects that encapsulate unmanaged resources, you must explicitly release the unmanaged resources when you are finished using them in your application.

Hotmail Using C# - A HTTPMail Client Under .NET

The great thing about the POP mail protocol is that it is a well-documented open standard, making writing a mail client to collect mail from a POP box a relatively painless process. Armed with basic knowledge of POP, or SMTP it is possible to write proxies which do a variety of useful things, such filter out spam or junk mail, or provide an e-mail answering machine service. Unfortunately, in trying to write a standalone client for Hotmail, the world's most popular web-based mailing system, the fact that no POP gateway exists rapidly becomes a problem.

Talking to the Outside World in Excel 2003

This next code sample shows how to connect to the internet inside of Excel. The idea is when the workbook opens the code behind the workbook searches for quotes on NASDAQ and then populates the spreadsheet with the data. You can imagine you could have a spreadsheet full of data which is retrieved from data sources on company servers and internet sources etc.

Top Ten Traps In C# For C++ Programmers
In an article for the July 2001 MSDN Magazine I talked about what you need to know to move from C++ to C#. In that article, I mentioned that the syntax of C# is very similar to that of C++ and that the difficult part of the transition was not the language itself but getting comfortable with the managed environment of .NET and understanding the extensive .NET Framework.
