Ameya Solutions’ netProfileManager

Andrei — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:54:59 +0000

This is a small network profile manager that I’ve developed at the request of a friend of mine. He’s pleased with it and encouraged me to publish it.

The application is called netProfileManager and it is written in C#.

The main goal of the software is to allow you to create profiles that store your network configurations. It supports IPv4 both static and DHCP configurations. It uses the netsh and ipconfig command line utilities.

Profiles can be launched by right clicking the application icon in the tray bar or from the main interface. The software is provided as is with no warranty whatsoever.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you wish to report a bug or make a suggestion.

You can download it here: http://ameya.ro/downloads.php

I would love to hear some feedback from those who’ve already tested it.

SQL list of countries

Andrei — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:36:51 +0000

I’ve always found myself needing an SQL list of all the countries in the world. After a little googling I found this on 27.org that has pretty much all the information needed for each country.

It also has an SQL file for US states if anyone is interested.

Simulating mouse movement and actions in C#

Andrei — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:15:19 +0000

I’ve recently worked on a project that required my application to move the mouse and left click on some items.

Here’s a simple working solution that will handle mouse movement and left clicking.


using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

private const UInt32 MouseEventLeftDown = 0x0002;

private const UInt32 MouseEventLeftUp = 0x0004;

 [DllImport("user32.dll")]
 private static extern void mouse_event(UInt32 dwFlags, UInt32 dx, UInt32 dy, UInt32 dwData, IntPtr dwExtraInfo);

private void leftClick()
 {
 mouse_event(MouseEventLeftDown, 0, 0, 0, new System.IntPtr());
 mouse_event(MouseEventLeftUp, 0, 0, 0, new System.IntPtr());
 }

private void mouseMove()
 {
 Cursor.Position = new Point(Cursor.Position.X - 200, Cursor.Position.Y - 200);
 }
