I officially completed my first C# program yesterday, and it does more than print "Hello World" in the console window! I created a program that automatically switches my laptop's network adapter between DHCP and a hardcoded static IP.

I primarily use my laptop for my work and have demoted my PC tower to file-storage duty. My tower and laptop connect via a crossover cable, but in order to connect the two I need to manually set the IP of each machine to the same three IP groups (ex. 192.168.0.x). Normally, I'd have to go into my laptop's Network Adapter and manually set the IP, but after yesterday, all that is a thing of the past!

Now, I can just run my fancy C# program and POOF! The program reads my current IP and adjusts my adapter to either DHCP if the IP is set to static or to the static IP if DHCP is enabled. I kept to a console application because I didn't feel that this required a fancy UI, but I learned a great deal about the minor differences in how C# handles string manipulation and foreach statements.

I'm learning slowly but surely, and I'd learn a lot more if I had something to work towards creating, but for now I'll be happy with what I've accomplished!

P.S. My apologies for the poor grammar, its been a rather long day
