Resize windows Form Controls w.r.t Screen Resolution

We have a main problem in developing windows application is that the controls which we are placing inside a form may not visible when the screen resolution changes. For that, we can use the below class to change the position of the controls. For this, u have to design the form in low resolution, so that the controls will change their position with respect to higher resolution monitors

Add this class to your project and change the namespace name

Layout Manager Class

Now, your form will set displayed for all resolution monitors.....

Happy coding....

Unsharp Mask Algorithm in C#

Unsharp masking is a traditional darkroom technique that has proven very suitable for digital imaging.

Original

Unsharp Mask

The principle of unsharp masking is to create a blurred copy of the image and compare it to the underlying original. The difference in colour values between the two images is greatest for the pixels near sharp edges. When this difference is subtracted from the original image, the edges will be accentuated.

private unsafe Bitmap UnsharpMask(Bitmap img, double amount, double radius, double threshold)
{
if (amount > 500) amount = 500;
amount = amount * 2;
if (radius > 50) radius = 50;
radius = radius * 2;
if (threshold > 255) threshold = 255;

if (radius == 0)
{
img.Dispose();
return img;

Non-Smokers, avoid Second hand smoking, Beware of Smokers!!!

What Is Secondhand Smoke?

Secondhand smoke, also known as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) or passive smoke, is a mixture of 2 forms of smoke from burning tobacco products:

• Sidestream smoke: smoke that comes from the end of a lighted cigarette, pipe, or cigar
• Mainstream smoke: smoke that is exhaled by a smoker

When non-smokers are exposed to secondhand smoke it is called involuntary smoking or passive smoking. Non-smokers exposed to secondhand smoke absorb nicotine and other toxic chemicals just like smokers do. The more secondhand smoke you are exposed to, the higher the level of these harmful chemicals in your body.

So, Smokers dont make harm to your friends and Non-smokers avoid standing near smokers when he smoke and if possible try to make your smoking friends to stop smoking..

Smokers, Please Stop smoking atleast when you are with your non-smoking friends. This is good for both of your health...

Geocode and Reverse Geocode

A Geocode (Geospatial Entity Object Code) is representation format of a geospatial coordinate measurement used to provide a standard representation of an exact geospatial point location at, below, above the surface of the earth at a specified moment of time.
The process of geocode is getting the latitude and longtitude values of the corresponding address and the Reverse Geocode is the process of getting the address of the corresponding latitude and longtitude values. This can be shown here...

We can also develop our own page with geocode and reverse geocode using this ArcWebservice

FPDF library to create pdf files

we can create pdf files using php through fpdf library.. I have downloaded the fpdf library and created a pdf file with some images in it..

Here is my code which requires fpdf.php and array of image file name with full path, which u can download from the above link..

require('fpdf.php');
$pdf = new FPDF();
foreach($fileList as &$filename)
{
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,substr(strrchr($filename,"/"),1));
$pdf->Image($filename,5,30,200,200,'jpg','');
}
$pdf->Output();
?>

Upload image using J2ME and KSOAP

I have used KSoap to upload photo from my mobile phone to my web server using J2ME..

Here, the UploadPhoto class calls the PaymentInfo function which is in the server side and passing parameters as soapobjects like savePaymentInfo and PaymentInfo which is send as a string and the image which is uploading is converted to Base64String which can be converted again to image in the server side...

To use this function, you have to download ksoap jar file and add it to the project library.

Here is the code from the client side i.e. mobile application

class UploadPhoto
{
try
{
SoapObject savePaymentInfo = new SoapObject("http://tempuri.org/", "SavePaymentInfo");

SoapObject PaymentInfo = new SoapObject("http://tempuri.org/", "PaymentInfo");

PaymentInfo.addProperty("AddLocation", addLocation);
PaymentInfo.addProperty("CreditCardId", "12345");
PaymentInfo.addProperty("Msisdn", "11111");

int length = new String(midlet.postCardString).length();
String stringToSend = new String(midlet.postCardString).substring(0,length-2);

PaymentInfo.addProperty("PostCards", stringToSend);
PaymentInfo.addProperty("ResizePhoto", resizePhototoPhone);
PaymentInfo.addProperty("SecurityCode", "5678");
PaymentInfo.addProperty("UploadPhotoServer", uploadPhototoServer);
PaymentInfo.addProperty("SendPhotoMyHome", sendPhototoPC);

if("true".compareTo(domesticPostcard) == 0)
{
PaymentInfo.addProperty("PostCardType", "Domestic");
}
else
{
PaymentInfo.addProperty("PostCardType", "InterNational");
}

savePaymentInfo.addProperty("paymentInfo", PaymentInfo);

SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);

envelope.bodyOut = savePaymentInfo;
envelope.dotNet = true;
envelope.encodingStyle = SoapSerializationEnvelope.XSD;

HttpTransport httpTransport = new HttpTransport("http://url.asmx");
httpTransport.debug = true;

httpTransport.call("http://tempuri.org/SavePaymentInfo", envelope);

SoapObject result = (SoapObject)envelope.bodyIn;
String res = result.getProperty("SavePaymentInfoResult").toString();

{
