Backing up important emails from your Gmail account is essential to ensure data security and availability. This article will guide you through creating a desktop application using C# to backup emails from a Gmail account to a local drive and restore them to either the original Gmail account or a Yahoo Email account. The application will use the Google APIs Client Library for .NET to interact with the Gmail API and the MailKit library to send emails to Yahoo Email.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a widely used feature in Windows to access a computer remotely. However, it can also be a target for malicious activities, such as brute force attacks. In this article, we will create a Windows Service that monitors the Windows Event Log for multiple failed RDP authentication attempts within a specific time frame, sends an email alert to the server owner, and blocks the IP address temporarily.

In this case study, we will explore how our team developed a decentralized voting system using Ethereum smart contracts and a .NET C# application. The objective was to create a transparent, tamper-proof, and secure voting system that leverages blockchain technology to enhance the democratic process. By combining the power of Ethereum smart contracts with the familiarity of .NET C# development, we were able to deliver a robust solution that met all project requirements.

Deploy Bluetooth components into the equipment and design a Server-Based System with a Web Interface and a Mobile Interface (PWA) to meet the customer's requirements. The solution needed to be user-friendly, scalable, and robust, allowing engineers to easily manage the equipment from anywhere.

In this article, we will explore how to integrate Python's Rembg library with C# to add background removal functionality to a .NET application. Rembg is an open-source library available on GitHub that utilizes deep learning models to effectively remove the background of images. Although the library is written in Python, we can still leverage it in our C# application using the Python.NET package. This will allow us to call Python functions and use Python objects directly from our C# code.

This technical article provides an overview of SQL Server Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and demonstrates how to implement TDE in an ASP.NET web project. The article explains the benefits of TDE, the encryption process, and provides sample SQL and C# code to illustrate its use for securing sensitive data in a web application.

Reflection is a powerful feature in C# that allows us to inspect and interact with the metadata of types, objects, and assemblies at runtime. In this article, we will delve into the basics of Reflection in C#, demonstrate how to explore object properties dynamically, and create Microsoft SQL Server strings for database operations such as insert, update, and delete.
