In VB.Net, programmers often used the variable by reference using the keyword ByRef. Normally, reference variables not copied like Value type variables. There are some scenarios arise to use or pass a variable as reference to another function/subroutine and change them within the function/subroutine.

IIS Tips and Tricks
No comments
In previous posts I have explained how to create a virtual directory from Visual Studio.
In this post I’m going to tell how to create a virtual directory in IIS.
What is Virtual Directory?:
Virtual directory meant that, it is a mapping between the actual web application files and IIS. That is we map the website files to the IIS in Virtual Directory. If you see in IIS, it look like a directory but it actually points the exact web application path.
Create Virtual Directory:
Here I’m going to create a virtual directory in IIS for the web application which is located in the path :
“G:\DotNetExamples\AllInOne”.
Step 1:
Open IIS. To open IIS, press windows key + R key, which opens “Run” window and type “inetmgr” and press enter, which opens the IIS.
Step 2:
In IIS, Right click on the “Default Web Site” and select the “Add Application” in the float menu.
Step 3:
In this “Add Application” window, we need to specify the “Virtual Directory” name and the physical directory where the actual web site files are located. Leave the application pool as is. Click OK.
Step 4:
Now the Virtual Directory has been created under the “Default Web Site”. To test the application Right click the virtual directory and choose “Manage Application à Browse” which will open the application in the respective default browser.
Hope this helps!

Dot Net Obfuscator

In this post I’m going to discuss about Reverse
engineering and Code Obfuscation. In modern programming trends, when we publish a website or
dll file to a client machine, there are lot of chance to theft our code. That
is if we publish a class library as a dll, there are lot of tools available for
simply reverse engineer that dll. So that the person can see the source of such
files, which is a potential thread for software companies who does not want to share
the source code to the end user.
Below are the some tools which is used to decompile the dll:
Dot net reflector – From Redgate
Dot net decompiler (Dot Peek) – From Jetbrains
Just Decompile – Free tool From Telerik
What is Obfuscation?
Obfuscation is a process to convert the (source code or
machine) code into a difficult form which cannot easily read by humans.
Eventhough, obfuscation does not guaranteed 100 % of code
safety. However it will make the process too hard, that is getting the source
from the dll or exe. In my professional life, I have experienced with DeepseaObfuscator tool.
Here are the list of Obfuscation Tool for .Net:

In previous post I have give some points about TFS. Today in
my organization I have attended a meeting regarding Team Foundation Server. I have already told
that TFS is awesome product from Microsoft. That is 100% true. I think TFS
going to be a huge successful one in future like Visual studio.
In this post I would like to add some new features of TFS
2012 which I learned from the above conference:
- IntelliTrace
- Code clone detection
- Feedback Manager
- Version Controlling
- Storyboard creation
- Automatic Build update
- Shelving
In the forth coming posts I will explain the
above in detail.
Happy programming!

TFS – An Introduction:
In my organization, we have recently started using Team Foundation
Server 2012. Previously we have worked on the Visual Source Safe for version controlling.
Adopting with this new technology is hard at first. After using day by day, it’s
awesome. Now I felt that TFS is really awesome product from Microsoft.
TFS not just give an option for version control. Its gives
more apart from version controlling like branching etc. The below are the few important advantages of
TFS. If I, missed or added wrongly feel free to contact me or leave a comment.
- With branching we can easily merge the changes between the projects.
- We can control the entire project activity with TFS.
- We can define the source code standards (here called policies) and check against the source code we wrote in Visual studio. That is if any of the code violates the coding standards, we can easily figure it out with this feature.
- We can assign task to entire team and fill the completed and completion dates.
- The above are the some advantages of TFS. In the feature articles I will give the detail explanation of TFS. Keep in touch!
