Tim's Ramblings: .NET Image Resizing!

http://timsblogstuff.blogspot.com/2010/08/net-image-resizing.html

Thursday, August 12, 2010. I have had a function in my personal library for quite a few years called "ResizeImage" which takes a filename, width, and height as parameters. It creates a new file with the width and height and saves it with the same filename and a number appended to it to indicate the new size. It handles JPG, GIF, and PNG files. It did the job for a while but wasn't perfect. Here is the final product:. Dim imgPhoto As System.Drawing.Image = Drawing.Image.FromFile(sFilename). XD = x / iMaxW.

Tim's Ramblings: April 2010

More Fun With XML and XSLT! Friday, April 30, 2010. More Fun With XML and XSLT! This was a fun one. A client wanted to receive an email whenever a new user account is created on their web site. Simple enough, but they wanted all of the customer information such as address, email, etc. Now it's not a lot of data, about 10 fields and I could have just concatenated it into a string and sent it as the HTML body. But that's no fun! And we will do it all in memory without writing any files! CREATE PROC usp user.

Tim's Ramblings: November 2009

http://timsblogstuff.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Welcome to my blog. Wednesday, November 4, 2009. OK kids, time for some stupid SQL tricks. Actually these are mostly things that I don't use that often so it's hard to keep them memorized when I do need them. I have these in a Sharepoint list but you don't have access to that, so here they are. 1 First, converting date formats. Sometimes you need to store the day without the time, and sometimes you need to return a string that does not contain the time. This converts '1/1/2000 4:20 PM' into '1/1/2000':.

Secondary DNS vs. Conditional Forwarders. Wednesday, February 6, 2013. Secondary DNS vs. Conditional Forwarders. I came across an interesting problem today. I have a client with three sites, all connected by VPN, each with their own Active Directory forests connected via Trust Relationships. All servers deliver mail to each others Hub Transport servers through internal IPs and host names across the VPN, external SMTP delivery is locked down pretty tight. Now I remember when I had setup the mail routing b...

Tim's Ramblings: Powershell progress bar for Exchange mailbox moves

http://timsblogstuff.blogspot.com/2015/03/powershell-progress-bar-for-exchange.html

Powershell progress bar for Exchange mailbox moves. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Powershell progress bar for Exchange mailbox moves. While( get-moverequest -MoveStatus InProgress) -ne $null) {get-moverequest -MoveStatus InProgress Get-MoveRequestStatistics; start-sleep -s 5}. But I thought it would be cool to have a GUI progress bar so I did a little Googling and found two. That combined provided me with what I needed and I used my free time to build a cool script that my client can use for their migrations.
