How to install NuGet packages directly

.Net CodeProject Miscellaneous Visual Studio
If you are developing applications using VS 2010 Express editions, you will miss the Package Manager console, which helps us to install libraries or packages via NuGet. The Nuget package manager console is not integrated to VS 2010 Express editions.(Visual Web Developer Express is an exception, it has a package manager console integration). To overcome this issue I found some workarounds like create project in VS C# Express edition, open the same project in VS Web Developer Express and install package(s) using NuGet. But I don’t feel that is a good solution to the problem. Later I found a nice solution using NuGet command line option. You can download the NuGet.exe from codeplex.

Using SynchronizationContext in Windows Forms
March 22, 2013 by Anuraj
.Net .Net 3.0 / 3.5 CodeProject Windows Forms
While we try to access user interface elements from a different thread, other than the thread(normally main thread), which created the user interface elements. .NET 2.0 brings us SynchronizationContext which allows us to execute a section of code in the UI context (the thread that created the UI). Also, it allows us to specify if the background thread will block waiting for the UI thread (using Send) or will not block (using Post). SynchronizationContext class can be used in Windows Forms, WPF, and ASP.Net etc. For Windows forms, you can get the UI context from the WindowsFormsSynchronizationContext.Current property. For WPF, the implementation is DispatcherSynchronizationContext class.
