Recently I had to solve a problem of a very slow transfer of files between two computers on a LAN network using an Ethernet cable. Both machines had Windows 7 x64 installed and the transfer speed was ridiculously slow at 10-15kb/s. Using Task Manager under Networking tab, Network Utilization was showing only around 0.25% for Local Area Connection.

I looked around the web for solutions and found quite a few suggestions on how to tackle this problem. Those that I tried and the one that finally solved my problem are discussed here.

When developing .NET applications either for Desktop or Web applications, you will most likely use one of the Visual Studio Editions. As such you need to be familiar with Visual Studio IDE (integrated development environment) and in this article we will examine Visual Studio Environment most important sections.

The other day I wanted to learn something new so I decided to try a little Unit Testing using Microsoft .NET. After looking at different Unit Testing Frameworks I chose to use NUnit Framework. I then tried an example found on the web and after the project was built, I loaded NUnit GUI and opened unit test assembly, but to my surprise, the NUnit GUI was giving me Error message. It was telling me that the Test load failed with detailed error: SystemApplicationException: Unable to find test in the assembly.

In the end I found three different ways to make NUnit work and each one will be shown in this article.

I recently bought an iPod Classic and since this iPod has a large capacity, you can easily store movies on it. So I added a .MP4 video file to iTunes and it was able to play the movie without a problem. So I decided to Sync the iPod to add the movie to the device, but to my surprise an Error Message window showed up stating:

In this article you will learn how to solve this problem in two different ways.

I recently rearranged the content of my working folder which is used to store all my coding-related projects. But after doing that I had a problem loading the solution of my WinForm project in Visual Studio as I received an error telling me about a problem with a project file.

The exact error message in the Output window was:

Another way you can encounter this error is if you renamed your project folder and sometimes you can get this error without moving or renaming anything at all. In this article, you will be shown how to solve this problem for all those cases.

When I started to learn WinForm programming, one thing that I wondered was how to create additional window forms on the already existing Winform Project. For example, I wanted to create a popup window for editing purposes. I knew what code to write that would instantiate a new form but didn't know how to edit that form in the designer.

When you have a blog, you must get into a habit of making regular backups. It only takes a few moments and it is going to be a lifesaver if you lose access to your blog for whatever reason or if you delete a post by mistake and need to retrieve it.

This article will first tackle how to do an entire backup of a blog in Blogger and then we will examine what elements of a blog will be left out during backup process.
