How to Make Excel Spreadsheets [.XLS &.XLSX] in C#

There's a library called ExcelLibrary. It's a free, open source library posted on Google Code. It's very simple, small and easy to use. Plus it has a DataSetHelper that lets you use DataSets and DataTables to easily work with Excel data.

ExcelLibrary seems to still only work for the older Excel format (.xls files), but may be adding support in the future for newer 2007/2010 formats. You can also use EPPlus, which works only for Excel 2007/2010 format files (.xlsx files).

Here are a couple links for quick reference:
ExcelLibrary - GNU Lesser GPL
EPPlus - GNU Library General Public License (LGPL)

Here's some example code for ExcelLibrary:

//create new xls file
string file = "C:\\newdoc.xls";
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
Worksheet worksheet = new Worksheet("First Sheet");
worksheet.Cells[0, 1] = new Cell((short)1);
worksheet.Cells[2, 0] = new Cell(9999999);
worksheet.Cells[3, 3] = new Cell((decimal)3.45);
worksheet.Cells[2, 2] = new Cell("Text string");
worksheet.Cells[2, 4] = new Cell("Second string");
worksheet.Cells[4, 0] = new Cell(32764.5, "#,##0.00");
worksheet.Cells[5, 1] = new Cell(DateTime.Now, @"YYYY\-MM\-DD");
worksheet.Cells.ColumnWidth[0, 1] = 3000;
workbook.Worksheets.Add(worksheet);
workbook.Save(file);

// open xls file
Workbook book = Workbook.Load(file);
Worksheet sheet = book.Worksheets[0];

 // traverse cells
 foreach (Pair<Pair<int, int>, Cell> cell in sheet.Cells)
 {
     dgvCells[cell.Left.Right, cell.Left.Left].Value = cell.Right.Value;
 }

 // traverse rows by Index
 for (int rowIndex = sheet.Cells.FirstRowIndex;
        rowIndex <= sheet.Cells.LastRowIndex; rowIndex++)
 {
     Row row = sheet.Cells.GetRow(rowIndex);
     for (int colIndex = row.FirstColIndex;
        colIndex <= row.LastColIndex; colIndex++)
     {
         Cell cell = row.GetCell(colIndex);
     }
 }

Creating the Excel file is as easy as that. You can also manually create Excel files, but the above functionality is what really impressed me.

Circle Progress Bar Control for VB.NET

Add a new User Control and add these codes in it :

   Dim _Myrr As Integer  
   Public Property rr As Integer  
     Set(value As Integer)  
       _Myrr = value  
     End Set  
     Get  
       Return _Myrr  
     End Get  
   End Property  
   Private Sub DrawProgress(g As Graphics, rect As Rectangle, percentage As Single)  
     'work out the angles for each arc  
     Dim progressAngle = CSng(360 / 100 * percentage)  
     Dim remainderAngle = 360 - progressAngle  
     'create pens to use for the arcs  
     Using progressPen As New Pen(Color.LightSeaGreen, 2), remainderPen As New Pen(Color.LightGray, 2)  
       'set the smoothing to high quality for better output  
       g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias  
       'draw the blue and white arcs  
       g.DrawArc(progressPen, rect, -90, progressAngle)  
       g.DrawArc(remainderPen, rect, progressAngle - 90, remainderAngle)  
     End Using  
     'draw the text in the centre by working out how big it is and adjusting the co-ordinates accordingly  
     Using fnt As New Font(Me.Font.FontFamily, 14)  
       Dim text As String = percentage.ToString + "%"  
       Dim textSize = g.MeasureString(text, fnt)  
       Dim textPoint As New Point(CInt(rect.Left + (rect.Width / 2) - (textSize.Width / 2)), CInt(rect.Top + (rect.Height / 2) - (textSize.Height / 2)))  
       'now we have all the values draw the text  
       g.DrawString(text, fnt, Brushes.Black, textPoint)  
     End Using  
   End Sub  
   Private Sub UserControl1_Paint(sender As Object, e As PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint  
     DrawProgress(e.Graphics, New Rectangle(5, 5, 60, 60), _Myrr)  
   End Sub  

Don't forget to add these two namespaces :

 Imports System.Drawing  
 Imports System.Windows.Forms  

 Now Build your project and then check your ToolBox you'll see a new Tool

That's our Circle Progress Bar!
Now add our Progress Bar, a Timer and a Button.

Timer1_Tick Code :

     If UPT >= 100 Then  
       UPT = 0  
     Else  
       UPT = UPT + 1  
     End If  
     UserControl11.rr = UPT  
     UserControl11.Invalidate()  
     UserControl11.Update()  
     UserControl11.Refresh()  

Button1_Click Code :

   Timer1.Enabled = True  

Under Public Class add this Integer

   Public UPT As Integer  

That's it, it should work fine now...

This is just an example of a Circle Progress Bar I found online, do comment your suggestions.

How to Make Windows / Android / iOS Apps Using Xamarin Platform

Before writing applications, you’ll need to install the Xamarin platform on your Mac,PC, or both (if you’re using that setup)

See the articles on the Xamarin website at:

https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/getting_started/installation 

Creating an iOS App
If you’re interested in using Xamarin.Forms to target the iPhone, first become familiar with the appropriate Getting Started documents on the Xamarin website: 

https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/getting_started/ 

This will give you guidance on using the Xamarin.iOS library to develop an iPhone application in C#. All you really need to do is get to the point where you can build and deploy a simple iPhone application on either a real iPhone or the iPhone simulator.

If you’re using Visual Studio, and if everything is installed correctly, you should be able to select File > New > Project from the menu, and in the New Project dialog, from the left select Visual C# and iOS and then Universal (which refers to targeting both iPhone and iPad), and from the template list in
the center, select Blank App (iOS).

If you’re using Xamarin Studio, you should be able to select File > New > Solution from the menu, and in the New Project dialog, from the left, select iOS and then App, and from the template list in the center, select Single View App. 

In either case, select a location and name for the solution. Build and deploy the skeleton application created in the project. If you’re having a problem with this, it’s not a Xamarin.Forms issue. You might want to check the Xamarin.iOS forums to see if anybody else has a similar problem: 
http://forums.xamarin.com/categories/ios/ 

Creating an Android App
If you’re interested in using Xamarin.Forms to target Android devices, first become familiar with the Getting Started documents on the Xamarin website: 

https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/getting_started/ 

If you’re using Visual Studio, and if everything is installed correctly, you should be able to select File > New > Project from the menu, and in the New Project dialog, from the left, select Visual C# and then Android, and from the template list in the center, select Blank App (Android). 

If you’re using Xamarin Studio, you should be able to select File > New > Solution from the menu, and in the New Project dialog, from the left, select Android and App, and in the template list in the center, select Android App. 

Give it a location and a name; build and deploy. If you can’t get this process to work, it’s not a Xamarin.Forms issue, and you might want to check the Xamarin.Android forums for a similar problem: 

http://forums.xamarin.com/categories/android/ 

Creating a Windows App
If you’re interested in using Xamarin.Forms to target Windows, Windows Phone, or Windows 10 Mobile, you’ll need to become familiar with at least the rudiments of using Visual Studio to develop  Windows applications: 

http://dev.windows.com/ 

In Visual Studio 2017, if everything is installed correctly, you should be able select File > New > Project from the menu, and in the New Project dialog, at the left, select Visual C# and Windows. You’ll see a hierarchy under the Windows heading something like this:

.

The first Universal heading under Windows is for creating a Universal Windows Platform application that can target either Windows 10 or Windows 10 Mobile. Select that, and from the center area select Blank App (Universal Windows) to create a UWP app.  

The other two project types supported by Xamarin.Forms are under the Windows 8 header. The Universal item actually creates two projects—a Windows desktop application and a Windows Phone application with some shared code. For creating just a Windows application, choose Windows and then from the center section Blank App (Windows 8.1). For a Windows Phone application, choose Windows Phone and Blank App This creates a project that targets Windows Phone 8.1. 

These are the three project types supported by Xamarin.Forms.

You should be able to build and deploy the skeleton application to the desktop or to a real phone or an emulator. If not, search the Microsoft website or online forums such as Stack Overflow. 

All ready? If you can build Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android, and Windows applications (or some subset of those), then you’re ready to create your first Xamarin.Forms application. It’s time to say “Hello, Xamarin.Forms” to a new era in cross-platform mobile development.

How to Make a WIFI Hotspot Creator in VB.NET

You'll find many programs on the internet that can turn your Computer/Laptop Internet into a WIFI Hotspot but this ain't no any advanced like this. This is a very simple program to make a WIFI Hotspot using the Netsh command line scripting utility that comes with Windows.

Let's get into it...

Tools Required

• 2 Textboxes
• 2 Labels
• 1 Checkbox
• 2 Buttons

Change TEXT in the added Tools like given below

• Label 1 - Hotspot Name:
• Label 2 - Password: (8 Characters minimum)
• CheckBox1 - Show Password
• Button1 - Start
• Button2 - Stop

Make sure your FORM looks like this :

Double click your Form to get into Form_Load Event and add this code to disable the Button2 (Stop)

 Button2.Enabled = False

Add this code for FormClosed Event to stop the Hotspot automatically when you close the program

Process.Start("CMD", "/C netsh wlan stop hostednetwork")

  Now go to Button1_Click and add these :

   Try  
       If TextBox1.Text = "" Then  
         MsgBox("Hotspot Name can't be empty", MsgBoxStyle.Critical)  
       End If  
       If TextBox2.TextLength < 8 Then  
         MsgBox("Password should be 8+ characters", MsgBoxStyle.Critical)  
         If TextBox2.Text = "" Then  
           MsgBox("Password can't be empty", MsgBoxStyle.Critical)  
         End If  
       Else  
         Dim process As New Process()  
         process.StartInfo.Verb = "runas"  
         process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True  
         process.Start("cmd", String.Format("/c {0} & {1} & {2}", "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=" & TextBox1.Text & " key=" & TextBox2.Text, "netsh wlan start hostednetwork", "pause"))  
         MsgBox("Hotspot started successfully", MsgBoxStyle.Information)  
         Button1.Enabled = False  
         Button2.Enabled = True  
       End If  
     Catch ex As Exception  
       MsgBox("Failed to establish a hotspot" & ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Information)  
     End Try  

Add this to Button2_Click :

   Button2.Enabled = False  
     Process.Start("CMD", "/C netsh wlan stop hostednetwork")  
     Button1.Enabled = True  
     MsgBox("Hotspot stopped successfully", MsgBoxStyle.Information)  

Finally just go add this piece of code to CheckBox1_Checked :

     If CheckBox1.CheckState = CheckState.Checked Then  
       TextBox2.UseSystemPasswordChar = False  
     End If  
     If CheckBox1.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked Then  
       TextBox2.UseSystemPasswordChar = True  
     End If  

That's it! let's Run the program, Just set a Hotspot Name and a Password then click on Start

Now check your Phone or any other devices for WIFI connections, this is a screenshot from my Phone :

Hope it works fine with y'all...

How to Fix High CPU Usage / Memory Usage / Disk Usage (Service Host: Local Service) in Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7

Before you try this method please try the above mentioned methods :

• sfc /scannow
• Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• Disable service "SuperFetch"

If you have tried all of them and still didn't get the issue fixed out then this is for you.

1. Identify if you are running the inbox AHCI driver (StorAHCI.sys):
   
   
   1. Open up your Computer Management by Win + R then put in devmgmt.msc and hit enter
   2. Under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers right-click on the AHCI controller node and select Properties. This node is usually called “Standard SATA AHCI Controller.”
   3. Navigate to the driver tab and click Driver Details.
   4. If you see “StorAHCI.sys” in the list, you are running the inbox driver.
   
   
   
2. Disable MSI for the controller in the registry:
   1. In the same properties window opened in step 1.2, navigate to the Details tab and select Device instance path from the Property drop-down menu. Note this path. 
   
   
   
   
   
   1. Open the registry editor by typing regedit in the previously opened command prompt.
   2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\ <AHCI Controller>\Device Parameters\Interrupt Management\MessageSignaledInterruptProperties, where <AHCI Controller> refers to the device instance path you noted in step 2.1. 
   3. Change the value of the MSISupported key from “1” to “0”.
   1. If you don’t know which controller your boot device is attached to, repeat steps 2.1 through 2.4 for all AHCI controllers found under 1.2.
   
   
   
3. Reboot the machine.

It fixed the problem in my case see :

Hope this helps.
