http://www.andreabertolotto.netCode, tricks, ideas about C#, .Net Framework, XML and SQL ServerCopyright © 2004-2007, Andrea Bertolottoenhttp://www.andreabertolotto.net/Articles/ProcessKiller.aspxSometimes I have many applications of the same type opened. And sometimes I want to kill all of them in a single click. This utility was aimed at that purpose: having the possibility to "find" opened apps using a text search criteria and shutdown all matching processes with a single click. Utility reside in system tray, so being always available.]]>Mon, 17 Apr 2006 23:50:25 GMThttp://www.andreabertolotto.net/Articles/FreeSpaceTester.aspxThis small utility was conceived because some of the servers in my network, sometimes are lacking disk space. Being not able to buy new HDs , I decided to write some code to check situation, so I can act as soon as possible and free some space. Having a server with no more space on disk is a very nasty condition and everyone should be alerted before a crash could happen.This was created as a console application so it can run without user intervention, and eventually scheduled using O.S. scheduler.]]>Mon, 17 Apr 2006 23:50:25 GMThttp://www.andreabertolotto.net/Articles/WhatIMWorkingOn.aspxWith MSN Messenger add-in in mind, the one that show what you're listening in Windows Media Player, I decided to code a similar utility to show, in my Skype "mood", what I'm working on (using Visual Studio 2003). I know this seems a bit twisted: using Visual Studio 2005 to code something to get data from Visual Studio 2003. Anyway this was a very quick tool to get the idea working; when I'll be spending most of my time developing in VS2005 probably a sequel to this will follow .]]>Mon, 17 Apr 2006 23:50:25 GMThttp://www.andreabertolotto.net/Articles/SQLPasswordCracker.aspxBeing interested in security and cryptography in general, I found myself reading an interesting document about how SQL Server 2000 stores logins passwords. So I decided it could be a valid exercise to code something based on that article. This tool is what I got after some hours coding: select a SQL Server, get password hashes from system tables (you should be a sysadmin), read SHA1 hashes and try to brute force them.]]>Mon, 24 Apr 2006 01:20:32 GMThttp://www.andreabertolotto.net/Articles/SP4BlacklistedWordsRemover.aspxReleasing SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4, Microsoft decided to blacklist some particular words, so you cannot see them while using a profiler against a running SQL Server instance. This tool, intended to be used in development environment, can remove that limitation, allowing to view every query text.]]>Sat, 27 May 2006 07:30:32 GMThttp://www.andreabertolotto.net/Articles/HTMLDecodeUDF.aspxStoring HTML in databases requires, usually, HTML encoding. But using this from high level gives you access even to the HTML Decode function. This is not true if we have to deal with this kind of data directly at T-SQL level.]]>Sat, 27 May 2006 10:28:00 GMThttp://www.andreabertolotto.net/Articles/AddHistoryBanner.aspxThis Visual Studio add-in is intended to maintain an history on C# and VB files edited and modified by developers. It comes in version 1.3 for Visual Studio 2003 and 2.0 for Visual Studio 2005.]]>Mon, 31 Jul 2006 09:15:00 GMThttp://www.andreabertolotto.net/Articles/RouterRestarter.aspxThis is a small application intended to reboot my router using Telnet commands. It can be useful in similar situations.]]>Mon, 31 Jul 2006 12:33:00 GMThttp://www.andreabertolotto.net/Articles/StrongNameRemove20.aspxDescribes a working tool designed to remove strong signing from .NET assemblies without recompiling code.
