In Windows Phone (Silverlight) there is no System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml(“#cccccc”); or similar that can help you convert a hex string into a color object. To do this you’ll have to parse the string yourself. So is a simple method that will do so, it supports both “argb” and “rgb” with or without “#” in front of it. Meaning: The string… Read More »
The Async-Await feature in .Net is really super. At least until it comes to debugging, exception handling and race conditions. In short it cuts down on code, bugs, complexity and allows for linear programming. Traditional async programming uses callbacks (events) that adds to code complexity, it also forces an unnatural break in your code. Luckily more and more… Read More »

It does however not support basic auth by default (basic auth sends password in cleartext, which is bad). It took me some troubleshooting to figure it out so I thought I’d share my results. You’ll probably need… Read More »
Since there has been a bit of interest for the code below I mocked together another version: Kernel.HttpServer.zip Background Ok, so there are already alternatives for web servers in C#. Some of them are very feature rich. http://cassinidev.codeplex.com/ http://webserver.codeplex.com/ http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/137979/Simple-HTTP-Server-in-C http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1505/Create-your-own-Web-Server-using-C http://kayakhttp.com/ http://mikehadlow.blogspot.no/2006/07/playing-with-httpsys.html http://ultidev.com/products/cassini/ http://lmgtfy.com/?q=c%23+webserver But I wanted to play around with TPL and async/await a bit so I… Read More »

I love writing and optimizing stuff that puts strain on memory and CPU. Lately I’ve been wondering how well the .Net Dictionary object performs, and after looking at the source code for it, Googling and SO’ing I thought it would be good to complete the project with some real-world data that could be shared. So I made a… Read More »
When sharing .dll’s between desktop applications and web applications finding the current application path can be troublesome. For desktop applications you can usually just use the path of a loaded assembly (.exe or .dll) in the application directory. For web applications that won’t work since the .dll’s are copied to a temporary directory when the web application starts.… Read More »
I’m using Nini for most my config needs. Nini is a .Net library for reading/writing/merging all kinds of config files. It provides a good API with type conversion, default values, etc. To be able to access both app.config and web.config using Nini in .dll files included in test projects, desktop applications, services, web applications, webservices, etc I’ve put… Read More »
Okay, its vacation time so I thought I’d take time from vacation (and from reading news about the terror attacks in Oslo that happened a few miles from here) to do a little post. This time is an unsafe kernel32 memory mapped bitmap image I’m constantly improving upon. I do a lot of DSP-related stuff and the best… Read More »
