C# Examples

This page lists some console utilities (and one GUI based utility) I wrote in C#.

To allow using them in batch files, most utilities return their results as errorlevels.
Check the source code and the command line help text to translate the return codes/errorlevels back to results.

Some of these utilities were tested in Windows XP, all of them in Windows 7.
They were compiled with Visual Studio 10 Express Edition, with the target framework set to .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.
