My Journey: How I Met C# Corner

Happy New Year readers, we’re meeting after a long time. Previous year was extremely awesome for all of us. We build a unique kind of relationship via this community and I’m very glad to be a part of it. I promise that I’ll try my best to deliver rich content articles this year as well. I’m very thankful to our C# Core Team members who’re continuously supporting us and are acting like helping hands in all the ways. Here I’m sharing how I got connected and started my journey with C# Corner.

I still remember, It was my 3^rd year of college life and I was working on a project based on .NET and SQL Server. I was in middle of my project where I decided to add some control on my form to pick files from my local machine and save it in database and at last to get their reports to make it more attractive. I was looking for help and I just don’t n know from where and from which link I landed on the page named C# Corner. Believe me, after coming here I got my first helping hand in form of those articles from an author.

At that time, I didn’t even notice who the author of that articles was, I found it so interesting that I took a snapshot of the article and saved it with me for future reference and also made bookmark of those in my browser. I still have those links in my bookmark. After getting some information from there I returned back to my project and started working on other parts.

Today I was going through those image folders and found those 2 articles images saved there. These images were taken on June 2013.

I just don’t believe that how C# corner is helping me since the time when I was not even member of this community.

During that time, I visited many times here in search of something related to my project. Even during those visits, I didn’t notice the site name, what I noticed was the site logo (C# Corner) and below menu with lot of options.

I also bookmarked this page and used to visit here for any help.

Time passed and my project completed. Now it was the exam time and again I came here with hope and found many articles related to many programming languages to learn for the same. Also during my semester, I got another assignment to make a small project on file manipulation with help of C#. Again I started working on that and by this time in search of something, I landed on Books option.

WOW!!! I found somewhat virtual library over here. When I started searching I found what I exactly wanted. I found a small book on File Manipulation written by Mahesh Chand.

Thanks to Mahesh Sir, this book helped me a lot as my 80% of the project based on this concept.

I tried downloading the book but immediately I redirected to login page and as I didn’t had any logins to proceed, I registered myself with this site and downloaded the book. This is the time I joined with this community i.e. 12 June 2013. I started searching more and more and then I found another article written by ‘Prashanth Chindam’ which I found something interesting for my project. I captured this as well and saved it with me.

After learning from these things, I build up my small application which is shown below.

I sincerely thank to Mahesh Sir and Mr. Chindam for this.

Time passed and I entered in 2014, almost 1 year after joining, I started being active on the site. I stared following members and used to go through their articles. By this time I was familiar with this community.

One day I was reading some blogs (not C# Corner) and I wish to write and publish something of my own on this global internet, I also wanted to have a blog like others. But I didn’t know how to start. And one day while going through my account I saw a link to contribute an article.
