About Me

Hello and Good Day!

I'm Greg Esguerra a .NET Applications Developer, IT Trainer and blogger from Cebu City, Philippines. I started programming using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and MS Access as database several years ago when it was at it's peak and popularity. I really enjoyed programming this legacy software back then just like eating a pizza with a cold iced tea drink. Lol! However as time passed by, I shifted course to the .NET framework because it has several templates for different type of projects and most of the projects that I've worked with were migrated to .NET.

But before focusing my career on software development, I was also an IT Instructor for more than seven years in some popular schools here in Cebu handling Basic Computer Concepts, Java, C++, Visual Basic and Microsoft Office courses. Due to the love I had for Visual Basic, that's the time I decided to focus my time in learning the .NET Framework stack. During my freetime, I also did freelance programming and tutorials with single or limited number of students. With the experience and knowledge gained from both teaching and software development, this blog came into fruition to share what I have learned for the .NET community and students alike.

This website provides information like tutorials, code snippets and real-world problems with solutions related to the .NET Ecosystem particularly database management, web development, desktop applications, mobile applications, windows operating system and business intelligence reporting. I'm also actively participating in VBForums.com (.NET Community Forum) as KGComputers by answering threads or posts, code sharing and interaction among fellow .NET developers. Below are links to my projects repository and personal blog.


Newbie Forever :-)

For the connectionstring name in App.config file, I

How To Insert Or Add Emojis In Microsoft Teams Status Message

Good day Gents! I was trying to update my Microsoft Teams status and was wondering if I can add or insert emoji. For editing or adding new teams status, only text fields are available and there's no emoji icon similar to writing a teams message. After googling for a few minutes, I found this link Emoji's in status which is a feature request in Microsoft Teams User's Voice Forum. So far this upgrade request only has thirty votes which is relatively small and may be considered a low priority for the product team to implement. Given the limitations at hand, I tried several approach including copying an emoji in a chat message which didn't work and later found a solution using Microsoft Outlook 365. First is to create a new email message in Microsoft Outlook and press (Window Key + .). The emoji dropdown control will appear. Next is to select the emoji that you wanted to add to Teams. Copy the emoji from the newly created email message template and paste that to Micr

Sharkoon SKILLER SGS2 Gaming Chair Product Review

Image
Team, A week ago,I decided to purchase a gaming chair at a local computer shop in one of the malls here in Cebu since the piston of my old office chair does not work anymore. I did canvass at several stores but I'm not amazed by the brands that they were selling.While most of the chairs' upholstery that were presented to me were made of leather, the Sharkoon SKILLER SGS2 Gaming Seat was made of fabric and the price is just within my budget. That's why I decided to purchase this item. The main features of Sharkoon SKILLER SGS2 Gaming Chair based from the main website Sharkoon SKILLER SGS2 Gaming Chair are: A. Breathable and Supple - which describes the upholstery that is entirely made of soft fabric. B. Versatility through Adjustability - denotes the adjustable backrest, ergonomic posture, 3D armrest and seating height. C.
