Let's customize Google to show previous searchs by Hitesh Sharma

while going through code project website i show one article published by Hitesh sharma.
which catches my eyes with his nice idea and explanation of the article.
awesome!!
here is little introduction:
Introduction


Usually when I Google something there are a good amount of chances that I'll be googling the same thing again after a few days to recollect whatever I learned last time. So I run Internet Explorer and look into the history if I feel like hitting the search button again with the same keywords as I used last time to get the results I am looking for. This works great but one day I just wondered that why doesn't google shows recently searched text on its page, if it does so it will provide Googlers much ease. Certainly since I can't approach Google with the idea so I decided to customize google for my machine so that it may show me whatever I looked for last few times

you can visit this link to get the more details about the artile.

Let's customize Google to show previous searchs

Google Automation-Automated Testing Search Engine

While I was reading Sep 2011 issue of Automated Software Testing Magazine, but at one page my eye got stuck, where the publisher has partnered with Google to create a software test automation search engine. I tried this and its work great it means gave my all search related to automation.

So here is the word complied for the same magazine.

“The Automated Testing Institute has partnered with Google to create a software test automation search engine. If your are looking for the software test automation information, you will get the best results by using this search engine, because it only searches the sites that matter most to automators. You can also restrict searches to blogs and forum sites."

Enjoy happy automation.

Script to Get Microsoft Product Installed on your machine with version Number

Few days back I was working on build machine. Or you can say I need to release new build machine installed with some specific software.


To achieve this I wrote few bat file to installed particular software silently.

But to verify this whether that software or application has been installed or not I need to check this through control panel. It was kind of manual process.

So avoid this manual process I came across bat file or VBscript file which will list out the entire Microsoft product with version number installed on that particular machine.

First I will show you the bat file to write the entire product with version list in test file:

echo CompanyName SoftwareInstalled VersionNumber>ListOfMicroSoftware.txt


echo ===========================================>>ListOfMicroSoftware.txt
cscript //nologo D:\Install-Jawed\GetListOfSoft.vbs >>ListOfMicroSoftware.txt
 
 

Now here is the logic written in VBscript file.

On Error Resume Next

Const strComputer = "."
Const HKLM = &H80000002
Const strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
Dim oReg, arrSubKeys, strProduct, strDisplayName, strVersion
Set oReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
' Enumerate the subkeys of the Uninstall key
oReg.EnumKey HKLM, strKeyPath, arrSubKeys
For Each strProduct In arrSubKeys
' Get the product's display name
oReg.GetStringValue HKLM, strKeyPath & "\" & strProduct, "DisplayName", strDisplayName
' Process only products whose name contain 'Microsoft'
If InStr(1, strDisplayName, "Microsoft", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
' Get the product's display version
oReg.GetStringValue HKLM, strKeyPath & "\" & strProduct, "DisplayVersion", strVersion
WScript.Echo strDisplayName &"======"& vbTab &"===========================================" & strVersion
End If
Next



 

Click on bat file and it will generate the text file with all products with version number.

Enable Sound when Breakpoint is hit in Visual Studio 2010

It is really interesting and funny to let Visual studio make sound or give some signal that it hit break point.


So here is the tips to do the same. I have done this in windows 7 machine. Might be for other OS setting would be different.

First look at the below snap shot.

Steps:
1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Click on Hardware and Sound. A different window appears.
3. On new popup window click on Change System sounds. A different pop window would appear, refer above snap shot.
4. Select sound tab and scroll down to Microsoft Visual Studio.
5. Select Break point Hit.
6. Now select your desired sound from Sounds drop down menu.
7. Click on Apply and then ok.

Now you are ready to hear the Hit sound, whenever visual studio would hit the breakpoint.

Happy Debugging.

Thanks,

Copy files from source directory to target directory using Xcopy in C#.

If you are interested to copy files and folder to target location using Xcopy then just use the below piece of code to perform you desired operation.

private static void ProcessXcopy(string SolutionDirectory, string TargetDirectory)

{
     // Use ProcessStartInfo class
    ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    startInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
    startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    startInfo.FileName = "xcopy";
    startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
    startInfo.Arguments = "\"" + SolutionDirectory + "\"" + " " + "\"" + TargetDirectory + "\"" +          
                                                                                                                                      @" /e /y /I";
    try
    {
         using (Process exeProcess = Process.Start(startInfo))
          {
             exeProcess.WaitForExit();
          }
    }
catch (Exception exp)
    {
         throw exp;
    }
}

Get Assembly Version

Below code would help you get the Assembly version.
This code also stamp the build version in a file where you want to write the build version.
The build version is nothing but versioning provided after building the Project from tfs.
so here the code:
///

/// This method will get the version
///
/// return version of version as string
private static string GetVersion()
{
Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
FileVersionInfo fileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(assembly.Location);
return fileVersionInfo.ProductVersion;
}
