I've recently received an email from Microsoft notifying me I've been awarded Microsoft MVP in Visual C# ! I’d like to thank Microsoft and specifically Guy Burstein for his guidance and excellent advice on finding ways to help the developers community. Also, a special thanks is in order for my managers at Sela Group : David Bassa, Caro Segal and Ishai Ram for giving me the time to invest in the developers community. Lastly, I'd like to thank you, my blog readers. Now that I got this out...
Got back from Build conference . Since I expect many people will ask me "So, what's new?" and since the answer is rather complex, I figured I should try to write a post about it, so here goes… General Information Windows 7 sold (i.e. legal copies) over 450,000,000 copies since it was released. Windows 7 bypassed Windows XP in world usage. Windows 8 will be used primary for tablets and other touch-based devices. Windows 8 can run on Intel-based processors or ARM -based processors...
Following are some blog news: New Israeli C# Forum I'm proud to present a new MSDN forum in Hebrew for the C# developers community in Israel, managed by yours truly. The forum is available on the following link: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/he-il/VisualCsharpil To all those nice developers who keep asking me C# related questions by mail, I strongly urge you to post your C# related questions on this forum. NOT because I don't enjoy it! On contrary, I love to help you and would even...
I just had a cool idea! (actually I had it like 6 month ago, but bear with me). My idea involves mixing some of the features in Windows 7 with some of the features in Windows Phone 7, to create a glorious mix! Windows 7 One of the new features in Windows 7 is the Sensor API which provides a standard interface for accessing sensors of various types, like accelerometer , etc.. I wrote in the past about how you can consume this API from a C# application using Windows API Code Pack . Windows...
Introduction In my previous post I’ve presented “ After the Deadline ”, a spelling and grammar checking web service and my . NET wrapper library . This library allows you to integrate spell and grammar checking in your .NET application. The library was written in C# using .NET 4. Also, back in this post , I’ve presented how one can use a .NET 4 DLL from a .NET 2 executable. All of this was just preparations for writing my own grammar checker plugin for Windows Live Writer . Now, I know what you’re...
Introduction I recently had the idea to create a plug-in for Windows Live Writer that will provide grammar checks in addition to the built-in spell checks. As I’ve showed before, creating plug-ins for Windows Live Writer is easy, the problem was to get the code for doing the grammar checking. I’ve found this wonderful site named “ After the Deadline ” that provides a web based API for both grammar and spell checking, free for non-commercial use! The site also provides several wrapper libraries for...
Introduction The official answer is you can’t. Even with the In-Process Side by Side execution (SxS) feature, introduced in .NET 4. The SxS feature was intended to be used when COM is involved. For example, if you got an application that loads plugins, like outlook, and it loads 2 COM plugins, one is using .NET 4 and the other is using .NET 2.0 then it will load two versions of the CLR into the process using the new SxS feature. What if I simply have a .NET 2 application or DLL that needs to access...

Back in this post I’ve presented some code that make sure you only have one instance of your application. As I’ve said before, I didn’t wrote this code, I just presented it since I came across it in a Microsoft reference application and didn’t want this gem to remain hidden. Microsoft recently released a Windows 7 Recipe named “ Windows 7 Taskbar Single Instance ”, which despite its taskbar-related name is simply a revised implementation of the single instance feature in both .NET and C++. There...
