If you highlight a code block from an article, tip, QA post, or forum then copy it to the clipboard:
private Image _Image = null;
private Pen _ScratchPen = new Pen(Brushes.Red, 5.0F);
private Brush _CoverBrush = Brushes.LightGray;
It works fine:
private Image _Image = null;
private Pen _ScratchPen = new Pen(Brushes.Red, 5.0F);
private Brush _CoverBrush = Brushes.LightGray; If you use the "copy code" button, you get a mess of HTML as well:

This will be fixed next deploy. The issue turned out to be an unintended consequence of a jQuery update.

I keep accidentally coming across open-source libraries, and tools, that I consider remarkable in terms of functionality and performance.
I don't think links/blurbs-about these quite fit in the "Freebies" forum, or the Lounge, or other forums.
Your thoughts ?
cheers, Bill

Thanks, Jochen,
I think the possible advantage of a forum is that more people might contribute. Articles get "submerged" in the great ocean of them; I think a forum is more likely to be "visible."
I see the article you linked to was published in 2007, and, while it has many thank-you comments, none of the comments I saw added any new links to content, or commented on whether its existing links were still valid.
cheers, Bill

Billji,
If you prefer to not post an article at this time, could you PM me your list of libs? Many thanks!

Namaste, Ravi-ji,
Two excellent open-source libraries I'm currently evaluating are:
1. XDMessaging.NET : ipc without server client; very easy to use. I found out, after discovering XDMessaging, that the author had a CP article published in 2007; that's been updated in 2010, but is out of date now. I've written the author, and requested he update the CP article. last dev activity on github two-months ago. I am experimenting with the "lite" package to enable duplex communication between WinForm apps, but the full package can do remoting using AWS.
home: [^]
github: [^]
2. Message-Pack C-Sharp : fast serializer/deserializer; produces very small compressed packages; very easy to use compared to Proto-buf and other tools. being actively developed now.
github: [^]
cheers, Bill

Any idea why this question was removed?
How to prevent a process from being killed in task manager?[^]
It is great that university students are interested in developing anti-malware software for the Windows platform and as far as I can tell my answer is the only mention of ELAM for protecting security products. It would be great to retain that type of information here on codeproject.

From my Point of view a big lack here, one is not allowed to discuss about this theme.

Well,
It sounds like an overzealous approach to moderation. Protecting Anti-Malware[^] processes and Digital Rights Management[^] processes are perfectly valid and an important part of software engineering.
Windows IoT also supports ELAM (with protected processes and services) and I am looking forward to what future university students will create to protect our 'Internet of Things' future. Let's give them all the information they need to accomplish this.
Best Wishes,

Ok your two links are the official ones. I prefer to discuss every dirty technics of maleware/ransomware/hacking what else.
My Point is: Knowledge is the best defence. And what Tools so called "hackers" can use if everything is on the table?
But I'm pretty alone with this opinion here

A lot of people agree with you and that bothers me a lot. The more we know about how hackers do what they do the more we can right safer code. This is a topic that should be welcomed here.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No, I don't think so. If I understood you correctly, you do NOT think we should discuss how to write a program that cannot be ended. I think we SHOULD discuss it.
Hope that is clear.

I see it now. I think I misunderstood you. My apologies.

No Problem. If I read my first post here again -and translate it back with Google- I'm also have my doubts how I wrote it

Well, he does keep reposting the same question, and that copy certainly doesn't include much information.
But as far as I can see, that was the first copy, so it's the subsequent duplicates that should have been removed.
And your answer was very good, and should definitely be kept.
(If you've still got the information, maybe you could write it up as a tip?)

That's exactly what I had planned along with some sample drivers, simple service and a protected non-killable user-mode process. Although I think Microsoft may already has a sample ELAM driver.
Btw... there is no way that this information can be weaponized as malware... The whole point of this new system is that all three binaries would need to be dual signed with both an EV (extended validation) certificate and also by the Microsoft Dev Portal after being submitted and going through a vetting process.

The question isn't a specific question. The author has stated what they want to achieve, but where's the bit they are stuck at? A "I need an app that does X" is too broad. A "How do I hide a process from the Task Manager" is a question, and a "here's a couple of things we've tried" shows they have spent some time at least trying.
As it stands it's an open ended "I have an assignment to do and I need help". Once they narrow it down and work out a more focused question it's all good.

Well,
I can't even think of a better way to phrase the question...
From 2000-2010 some of the highest quality engineering information you could possibly get was right here on the codeproject... and some of that came from random forum comments.
Btw, he is not asking how to hide a process... he is asking how to protect his security anti-malware process from being killed via the task manager.
Guess next time I should send him over to Stack Overflow.
Google for ELAM Driver[^]

How about I give it a shot.
It's a bit of a fine line between those who just want someone to hand them the codez and someone genuinely looking for another lead to follow so they can honestly do their own work and learn.
Let's so how it goes.

Chris,
Could you go back and read the question and show me exactly where the group of university students are asking for source code?
Thanks.

They don't, and nor did I say they had.
I was talking generally about broad questions.
