Have you ever tried to use Color.Blue.ToString and gotten undesired results?
Or have you ever tried to save a color to an INI and not be able to reproduce it the next time around?

The methods below will help you in your conquest of converting the Color structure to HTML (#FF0000) and back to a Color structure again.

An all in one function that formats a given file's Size from bytes to gB.

Loading and Saving an ArrayList to/from any given path.

Returns a percentage. There are 3 arguments.

1. complete - How much is done?
2. total - How much is there?
3. maxPercentage - Total percentage possible, usually 100.

Simple, yep.

This could be used for any type of simple hash checking. It could also be used to store a "password" that had to be verified. This code is completely managed.

Description:
Call one of the overloaded functions and a you will have a randomly generated password.

Generate() - Will generate a password 13 or (more/less) characters in length ranging from A-Z a-z 0-9 and other characters such as @ # %... etc.

Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer)
Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char) - Allows you to set your ASCII range if you wish not to include number for example.

Generate(ByVal ExcludeValues As String()) - Works like Generate() buts characters passed in the array will not be used to generate the password.

Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer, ByVal ExcludeValues As String())
Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char, ByVal ExcludeValues As String()) - Works like Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer) & Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char), but allows you to also exclude characters that you do not wish the generator to use.



UPDATE
03/06/2006: Included use of Phill64's TrueRandom2 class for generating random numbers. Also overloaded the constructor so that a length can be set for the password, if the length is not set the default is set to 13.

Anti-QSL Injection. I'm sure it could be better, so any improvements are welcome.

This is a quick and dirty function for preventing SQL Injection, the function is designed to clean any variable that will be concatenated into an SQL query. Apostrophes and Double-Quotes are changed to entities in order to ensure that encoding does not become an issue when the content is pulled back into a page. I'm looking for criticism here, I want to know if this is secure or not.

I use something similar to this in an application named Shock 3. It provides you with your own Custom settings that can handle your own Custom types as well.

This snippet allows an aspx page (c#) to accept URL parameters to allow styles or script to be dynamically appended to the rendered page.

I wrote this simple snippet to allow one of our vendors to accept a style override so that their application would morph into something more closely resembling our own portal application. Please see screenshots for clarification.
