- Published: 25-Sep-2020Write an ASP.NET Core application such that the route "/home/index/N", where N is any int number, executes only if the website is hosted on port 67291 of "hoven.in" or "www.hoven.in". It should return 404 even if it is hosted on any subdomain like "*.hoven.in:67291"?
- Published: 27-Sep-2020Some, not all, routes need a daily downtime between 17 hrs to 18 hrs. So they have to be shut during that period so that no requests are processed. Any request has to be redirected to another page or a website, say, hoven.in. How should that be implemented?
- Published: 28-Sep-2020This is a C++ program that prints the size of any file in bytes. Only three lines of code required! We use the ifstream class to open the file for reading. Then position the file pointer to the end. Lastly, read the position to obtain the file size!

The byte array is a small assembly code that prints HELLO to the monitor when the PC is booted from the pen drive. The program has been tested on Windows 7, 8 and 10. The program MUST be run with administrative access. Otherwise it fails.
