I was playing around with Active Directory and C# today. I don't pretend to understand anything yet, but you don't need to know anything about Active Directory or LDAP to do stuff against it with C#.

To start with, the classes we're interested in are found in the following namespaces:

System.DirectoryServices;
System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory;

I was poking around the .NET framework yesterday and came across these three methods in the TextInfo class:

string text = "this is a test string";

System.Globalization.TextInfo info = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", false).TextInfo;

// First letter of every word is capitalized.
System.Console.WriteLine(info.ToTitleCase(text));

// Lowercase all letters
// System.Console.WriteLine(info.ToLower(text));

// Uppercase all letters
// System.Console.WriteLine(info.ToUpper(text));

info = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE", false).TextInfo;

System.Console.ReadLine();

Nice. :-)

Yes! The last of the modifications I wanted to make for 1.0 are done. The squashing of known bugs also went well (the undead screen now minimizes along with the text editor. The text editor's scroll position stays put. And the user is prompted to save the file when there are unsaved changes).

So: download Blockwriter and let me know what you think!
