Usbautostart is a Windows utility that performs autoplay for usb mass storage device. Windows avoid the autoplay on the removable medias for security reasons, but with this program you can bypass this limit and you can choose to launch a program in the usb pen when you plug it.
The program will also close all applications running from the device when you try to “safety remove” it.

The project is hosted on sourceforge, and it’s released under GPL license, so it’s completely free and open source!

The class in this post allows, in an easy and fast manner, to receive UDP messages. You don’t need to be a socket expert to use the class, cause you only need to write few rows of code to use it. Following, a little example showing how to use the class:

private void InitConnection()
{
	m_udpListener = new UDPListener(m_port, new byte[4] { 0, 0, 0, 0 });
	m_udpListener.MessageReceived += new UDPMessageReceivedDelegate(udpListener_MessageReceived);
}

This is a class that allows to send UDP messages in C# with an unbelievable semplicity.
To create the class you only need to create it, specifying a port for the udp communication, eg 3125 in this case:

try
{
	INetworkSender udpSender = new UDPSender(3125)
}
catch(UDPSenderException e)
{
        	// error during the socket initialization
}

Sending a message to an host is simple: call the SendMessage method specifying the receiver (with an host name, like “www.coders4fun.com“, or with an ip, like “192.168.10.6“) and a byte array containing the message.
