Hi Vivek!

First: Thanks for contributing to code project! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:
Secondly: I'm not sure if your contribution is article material. It is rather short and does not have much beef to it. My suggestion would be to make this into a Tip. As a Tip I would freely have administered a 5. I'm not voting for now as I want to see what more seasoned specialists make of this. As already mentioned, I feel this should not be an article, but a Tip.

Anyhow, it's good to see another contributor.

Regards,

Manfred
