Listing details of files and folders in a Directory in c#

You can get the list of files and folders in WIndows explorer or in a DOS prompt. It's often useful to get content of a folder dynamically using some scripts or programs, especially if you need these details in some applications. Below is a chunk of C# code which gives you the details for files and folders of a given path. You can add additional fields to your out based on your need.

Make an executable file, i.e exe, and use it in your application or run it from the command prompt. Results can be redirected to a text file or csv file.

The server threw an exception. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010105 (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT)) MS Word automation solution

I was frustrated by this error every time I run the below code. I did a lot of googling nothing worked. Even Microsoft said it a known issue we don't recommend this.

Then later just to try I just put one try-catch block and it worked perfectly. To date I have not seen that error.

Convert currency to word in excel

There are plenty of online resources to convert Numeric currencies to Text- from $200 to Dollar Two Hundred.
But this is applicable only ###,###,### (comma at every third number)format.  This is not suitable for India numbering system, because we follow ##,##,###(....22,22,222) format.

So I have create a excel function to over come this. You can use this function to to convert number up to 10,00,00,000(ten crores).

How to do it

Open Excel

Press Alt + F11

From Menu Bar Insert Module

Copy paste the This Module there.

Exit from VBA window by pressing Alt + F11 again

In excel sheet, Insert Function,


Under user defined find ConvertCurrencyToEnglish 


select it and provide the number as a parameter

thats all you are done
