How To: Capture Screen Image using C#

In this article I will show you How to Capture Screen Image using C#.

- Create Windows Application Using C#.
- Add the following code :
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ImageBitmap.Save(@"C:\ScreenImage.jpg");
}

public Bitmap ImageBitmap
{
get
{
Rectangle screenShot;
Bitmap sBit;

//Drawing a Rectangle
screenShot = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;

//Set image size and format
sBit = new Bitmap(screenShot.Width, screenShot.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
Graphics sGraphic = Graphics.FromImage(sBit);

//Capture From Screen
sGraphic.CopyFromScreen(screenShot.Left, screenShot.Top, 0, 0, screenShot.Size);

return sBit;
}
}

How to Connect to Team Foundation Server Using C#

In this article I will show you how to connect to Team Foundation Server and add work item via code
First thing you must install TFS SDK, you can download the Team Foundation Server SDK from the below link.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7e0fdd66-698a-4e6a-b373-bd0642847ab7&DisplayLang=en
Steps:
1- Create windows or web Application
2- Add References for :
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client
3- The below code will help you to work with Team Foundation Server

using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client;

// declaration variable
private NetworkCredential networkCredential = new NetworkCredential("enter here User Name", "enter here password", "enter here domian");
private Uri uri = new Uri("enter here TFS URL");
string projectName="enter here TFS prject name";
string worktemType = "enter here Work Item Type";

// Set Authentication To TFS
TeamFoundationServer teamFoundationServer = new TeamFoundationServer(uri.AbsoluteUri, networkCredential);
teamFoundationServer.Authenticate();
//Add Work Item
WorkItemStore wis = (WorkItemStore)teamFoundationServer.GetService(typeof(WorkItemStore));
Project tfsProject = wis.Projects[projectName];
WorkItemType wiType = tfsProject.WorkItemTypes[workItemType];
WorkItem workItem = new WorkItem(wiType);
workItem.Title = "Test Work Item";
workItem.Description = "Work Item Description";
workItem.Save();

How To: Encrypt and Decrypt string Using C#

I think Any Developer need to protect his data from nasty people
Ex. We will assume we have an application (windows application – web application ….etc) will connect to
Active directory or Team Foundation Server or any application need authentication to connect to it
First thing any developer should thinking about how I made my application secured

So when we pass the credentials will pass it Encrypted and from another side will decrypt these credentials.
In this article I’ll show you how to encrypt any string and decrypt it.
Create a new windows application using C# the design will be something like the below image:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.IO;

{
public partial class Main : Form

private static string sKey = "UJYHCX783her*&5@$%#(MJCX**38n*#6835ncv56tvbry(&#MX98cn342cn4*&X#&";

public static string Encrypt(string sPainText)
{
if (sPainText.Length == 0)
return (sPainText);
return (EncryptString(sPainText, sKey));
}

public static string Decrypt(string sEncryptText)
{
if (sEncryptText.Length == 0)
return (sEncryptText);
return (DecryptString(sEncryptText, sKey));
}


protected static string EncryptString(string InputText, string Password)
{
// "Password" string variable is nothing but the key(your secret key) value which is sent from the front end.
// "InputText" string variable is the actual password sent from the login page.
// We are now going to create an instance of the
// Rihndael class.
RijndaelManaged RijndaelCipher = new RijndaelManaged();
// First we need to turn the input strings into a byte array.
byte[] PlainText = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(InputText);
// We are using Salt to make it harder to guess our key
// using a dictionary attack.
byte[] Salt = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Password.Length.ToString());
// The (Secret Key) will be generated from the specified
// password and Salt.
//PasswordDeriveBytes -- It Derives a key from a password
PasswordDeriveBytes SecretKey = new PasswordDeriveBytes(Password, Salt);
// Create a encryptor from the existing SecretKey bytes.
// We use 32 bytes for the secret key
// (the default Rijndael key length is 256 bit = 32 bytes) and
// then 16 bytes for the IV (initialization vector),
// (the default Rijndael IV length is 128 bit = 16 bytes)
ICryptoTransform Encryptor = RijndaelCipher.CreateEncryptor(SecretKey.GetBytes(16), SecretKey.GetBytes(16));
// Create a MemoryStream that is going to hold the encrypted bytes

// CryptoStreamMode.Write means that we are going to be writing data
// to the stream and the output will be written in the MemoryStream
// we have provided. (always use write mode for encryption)
CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream, Encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write);
// Start the encryption process.
cryptoStream.Write(PlainText, 0, PlainText.Length);
// Finish encrypting.
cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();
// Convert our encrypted data from a memoryStream into a byte array.
byte[] CipherBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
// Close both streams.
memoryStream.Close();
cryptoStream.Close();
// Convert encrypted data into a base64-encoded string.
// A common mistake would be to use an Encoding class for that.
// It does not work, because not all byte values can be
// represented by characters. We are going to be using Base64 encoding
// That is designed exactly for what we are trying to do.
string EncryptedData = Convert.ToBase64String(CipherBytes);
// Return encrypted string.
return EncryptedData;
}

protected static string DecryptString(string InputText, string Password)

// will be, allocate the buffer long enough to hold EncryptedData;

// Start decrypting.
