Sometimes, it’s hard to find Microsoft .Net framework 4.x installer link.
Here is my collections for the link:
I am working on Windows 7 Embedded recently, and need some hotfix, which is not publicly released by Microsoft. I found this article very useful.
Here is the tricks:
A customer can get the fix they want without calling in to Microsoft, assuming they know the KB number of the hotfix they want and can remember the URL format for a self-service hotfix request:
http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=KBNumber&kbln=KBLanguage
This is my first hand made x64 assembly code.
extrn MessageBoxA:proc
.DATA
CONST SEGMENT
msg DB "Hello World!", 0
CONST ENDS
.CODE
main PROC
sub rsp, 28h
xor rcx, rcx
lea rdx, msg
lea r8, msg
xor r9, r9
call MessageBoxA
main ENDP
END
To compile this code, in command prompt run
ml64 helloworld.asm /link /subsystem:windows /defaultlib:user32.lib /entry:main
The major different between x86 and x64 calling conventions. The first six integer or pointer arguments are passed in registers RDI, RSI, RDX, RCX, R8, and R9, while XMM0, XMM1, XMM2, XMM3, XMM4, XMM5, XMM6 and XMM7 are used for floating point arguments. additional arguments are passed on the stack and the return value is stored in RAX.
Finally I found a home for my website.
Thanks Michael who providing this web hosting for me! Really appreciate!
This is the fist post on the new web server. After few hours work, finally I manged to move Nick’s Lounge to the new web server. It will give more bandwidth and more disk space.
Today, my friend asked me to recommend a free resize photo tool, and he got lots of photos. I really don’t know. Normally I use MS Paint and select Stretch and Skew. If here are many photos, it would take ages. I then wrote a small tool for him using C#. The code is fairly simple cause .Net Framework provides huge library to use.
private void ResizePhoto()
{
//find all jpg photos in given folder
string[] jpgFiles = Directory.GetFiles(photoPath,"*.jpg");
foreach(string file in jpgFiles)
{
//load orignial photo into memory
Image image = Image.FromFile(file);
//create new photo using new size from original photo
Image newImage = new Bitmap(image,new Size(newWidth,newHeight));
//give a new file name
string newFileName = "newsize" + file;
//save new photo
newImage.Save(newFileName,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
newImage.Dispose();
image.Dispose();
}
}
Christmas is coming. The Christmas atmosphere is everywhere in Sydney.
Some of my photos need to be added watermark to prevent abusing. I just found a easy way to add watermark into your photo using C#. Here is the code to share.
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog of = new OpenFileDialog();
of.Filter = "Image Files (*.bmp;*.emf;*.exif;*.gif;*.jpg;*.png;*.tif;*.wmf)|*.bmp;*.emf;*.exif;*.gif;*.jpg;*.png;*.tif;*.wmf";
if(of.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
{
Image image = Image.FromFile(of.FileName);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(image);
// Create a solid brush to write the watermark text on the image
Brush myBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
Font myFont = this.Font;
// Calculate the size of the text
SizeF sz = g.MeasureString("https://www.nickdu.com", myFont);
// drawing position (X,Y)
float X =(image.Width - sz.Width)/2f;
float Y = image.Height/2f;
g.DrawString("https://www.nickdu.com",myFont,myBrush,X,Y);
SaveFileDialog sf = new SaveFileDialog();
sf.Filter = of.Filter;
if(sf.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
{
image.Save(sf.FileName);
}
image.Dispose();
}
}
This is the sample
