Code 2 Point | My Projects

Short Introduction to My Projects

As my experience as a developer became more advanced and solid, I developed several useful .NET based components; which are being used in varies other projects to accomplish the end result I am striving for. I created this page:

To share my creations with those who may benefit from them
To give easy and quick access to all projects

Let's just say you are in a supermarket that gives away all kinds of projects (applications, components and classes) FREE of charge, ready to be downloaded and be utilized. In addition to this page, I have posted these projects on other various forums such as Code Project, and VBForums.

I welcome and would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments about any of the projects. Even if you want to send a nice word or two, don't hesitate to send me a note...

Windows Hook Library

Published Date: 2/28/2010

The WindowsHookLib is a single library to hook the mouse, keyboard and the clipboard system wide. WindowsHookLib library is written in C# and there for it uses Common Language Runtime (CLR). This means that the library can be referenced from various projects in Dot Net. The mouse and keyboard hooks are low level so you can use the Handled property of the MouseEventArgs or the KeyboardEventArgs to prevent the windows messages be passed to the other applications. Note you need to use the dll file not the classes in your projects; otherwise they might not work correctly. Read More... / Download / Comments

Hotkeys Class

Unique Combination Class

Published Date: 5/14/2010

The Combination class can be used to generate unique combination of objects from a list of objects. The way this class is generating the combination and the fact that the GetSubsets method's parameter is an array of objects gives us an advantage of having the objects whit different data types. The only limitation of having the objects with different data types is that it can't be sorted. The objects can be value type as well referenced type. In order to sort a referenced type object array, the object should implement sortable interface. Read More... / Download / Comments

Web/Services

How to Create a Web Service with ASP.Net

Published Date: 7/11/2010

Nowadays web services are indivisible parts of web development as they provide mechanisms to share and communicate with data across different platforms and applications. It is a great way of exchanging data between two web applications. By using Web services, your application can publish its function or message to the rest of the world. For example a weather company can provide a web service where the clients can use it to get the weather information for different locations. Web services use XML to code and to decode data, and SOAP to transport it (using open protocols). Read More... / Download / Comments
