Introduction to Article

Let’s play around with the main interrelated concepts of delegates in C#.
Today, in this article, we will dig out and play around by creating a simple delegate program and let’s see how better we can perform in this single program only. I mean, in this program, I will cover all stuff required for delegates from all the possible ways. So I will be covering simple delegate creation, multi-cast delegate, use of named methods, use of anonymous methods, use of lambda expression and finally a much better implementation about all of these and generic delegates as well.

Introduction to article

Most of the tutorials starts with "Hello World" applications for beginnners to start with, in this article i have jumped step forward to come up with a bundle of tutorials which i hope will be usefull for Andriod developers (beginners) to start with.
The application is a simple Jobs Search. From an Andriod phone, user can search for jobs in a Job website (ASP.net Website) based on user current location (using GPS) and Job Location. The user will enter the search keyword and the number of miles and he will get all the jobs within the distance he entered based on his current location.
The application will cover the following tutorials:
  • Creating splash screen using thread and wait command
  • Navigating between different screens and using andriod navigation menu
  • Using GPS to get current location
  • Communicating with .Net web service using ksoap library
  • Listing the records in a table with functionality to click each row
  • Passing parameters between varous screens
  • Displaying Google Map

WPF: Webcam Control - CodeProject

Introduction to Article

I have on several occasions scoured the net for a simple to use WPF webcam control and either my search queries were awful or I just wasn't comfortable with whatever I found. This webcam interest was recently increased when I read an article, here on CodeProject, that referred to an application that made use of a webcam. It was a Silverlight article and the ease with which one could utilize a webcam in Silverlight made me envious of WPF's little brother (or is it sister?). The VideoBrush in Silverlight is especially a nice touch.
It is with this pain and envy in mind that I decided to try my hand at creating a WPF control that could;
  1. Display webcam video with little coding effort,
  2. Allow saving of webcam video to harddisk, with little coding effort,
  3. Save the webcam video in a variety of video formats.
