SAIL

"Twenty YEARS from now
you will be more DISAPPOINTED
by the things you DIDN’T do
than by the ONES you did.

So throw off the BOWLINES,
sail away from this safe HARBOR,
catch the trade WINDS in your SAILS.
EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER."

– Mark Twain

The official *managed* way to find the .NET Framework directory

Keith blogs about "The official *managed* way to find the .NET Framework directory"

Keith BrownOct 19, 2005 –  Show original item

Earlier today I posted the official unmanaged way to get the .NET Framework directory. Of course I was using P/Invoke to do it 😉 Mike Woodring commented with an easier, managed way:

HttpRuntime.ClrInstallDirectory

But then Stephen Toub (my editor at MSDN Mag) commented with an even better option:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory()

Thanks guys!

Kalaam on thinking

"Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life."

 – Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalaam

Technically intelligent people are geniuses, don’t mess!

7 Engineers and 7 Doctors are going from PUNE to Mumbai.

So they both gather at Pune Station.

Both groups are desperately trying  to prove their superiority.

SCENE 1 (PUNE- MUMBAI) :
—————————————

7 engineers take only 1 Ticket and 7 doctors buy all 7 tickets..

Doctors are desperately waiting for TC to come……

When TC arrives,All 7 Engineers get in one toilet So when TC
knocks ,
one hand come out with the ticket and the TC goes away….

NOW on return Journey All of them don’t get a direct train to
PUNE. So they all decide to take a Passenger till Lonavala, from
there they can easily get a LOCAL to PUNE

SCENE 2 (MUMBAI – LONAVALA) :
———————————————
Doctors decided, "this time we will prove that we too are
equal"….All 7 Doctors take 1 Ticket Engineers don’t buy any
ticket at all!!!!!..

TC arrives….
ALL DOCTORS IN ONE TOILET.ALL ENGINEERS IN THE OPPOSITE ONE..

One engineer gets out and knocks the door of Doctors toilet, One
hand comes with the tickets, he takes the ticket and comes in
engg. Bathroom…

TC DRIVES out ALL the doctors from the toilet and they are heavily
fined

SCENE 3 ( LONAVALA) :

—————————————–
SO now both the group r on LONAVALA station. Doctors planning
their move for last chance, they board the local to Pune.

This time doctors decide that they will play the same(1 ticket)
trick.

ALL Doctors take 1 tickets…Engineers BUY all 7 tickets this
time…

SO TC Comes.. All Engineers showed their tickets…..

Doctors are still searching for toilet in the LOCAL
train………..

Conclusion: Technically intelligent people are geniuses, don’t
mess!
