Basic of GDI+

In this article, Handy Chang will explain about GDI+ in .NET Framework. If you haven't heard about GDI+, then GDI+ is a set of classes in .NET framework that deal with graphics.

Schedule Tasks for web applications is not always easy. If we have full control of the host server it's not a problem, but sometimes we don't so we cannot do something like, easily create a console application that performs the tasks that we need for our web application, and then add the compiled EXE to the Schedule Task list of the server.
