Hostility or peaceful co-existence

The war in Ukraine has led me to now see that politicians and others behave and do things in such a manner that it leads to war and conflict. Instead, they should behave and do things in such a way that it leads to a future of peaceful co-existence. Instead of complaining, demanding and fighting…

Windows: Is Keyboard Rootkitted?

So if there is multiple versions of the CLR loaded in a process there are multiple CLR thread pools. Initially there are no threads in this thread pool. As…

.NET Language Integrated Query (LINQ)

As of C# 3.0 we have had a standard way of querying data through Language Integrated Query or LINQ for short. C# 3.0 introduces its query language as a first-class citizen.
