After reviewing my first example.. i realized that doing reflection is not the easy way to do get the known color collection(thanks to Chris Vega who pointed to me the Enum called KnownColor which basically contains .NET known colors). Somebody also told me that the demo would be nicer if the colors are real images instead of just painting a panel(which makes really sense if you are thinking of saving the generated image in your desktop). With this suggestions i decided to create a revised version of our Color Chart Generator.

I had a little downtime today so i decided to create something useful(ala coding4fun) and one of the things that i wish i have in my toolbox is an .NET color chart since most of the time i tend to look at what colors i could use when matching my controls with my UI's theme(stylesheets? nah, that only works for the web.. how about if its a windows app? see! 'nuf sed!). Plus, i'd like to play with alittle bit of Reflection today and some basic Generics(hmmm, seems like i'm already dead hooked with this one)

I'll be at the So Cal .Net Tech Summit tommorow at Irvine Hilton, Irvine CA.

I created a demo today about WMI to demostrate to a friend how to read his machine's information. The resulting application is listed below. It's funny because i was just supposed to show him how WMI works but ended up discussing IEnumerators, Hashtables, Enums, Strategy and Command Pattern plus a hint of Generics. Which might make this sample application a little bit too much out of it's title.

I decided to create this demo after seeing a post on devpinoy.org today that is asking about how to pass a value from a gridview to another page using HyperLinks. I decided to extend it a little bit so that we could show alittle bit more functionality.

I didn't realize that this property exist up until today when i was playing with a custom control that i was building (don't ask what control it is! ofcourse its a button). At first i don't what to do with it since its something that was just injected in the .NET 2.0 framework but upon reading and understanding the method i realized that i could insert a javascript call inside this method call.. something similar to what i got used to doing which is adding attributes to the control at the page_init level.

I did a .NET Code Auditing demo today with my current company and it went out really well! It was great that even thought i should do this on UG meetings(uh, i think that's too much dreaming keith! :p).
