I forgot to schedule the post below. It is still relevant if you create a machine with lots of Delphi versions on it.

Windows 10 – language neutral batch file to start Windows Update
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/22
A while ago, I bitched that Microsoft moved away the Windows Update out of the Control panel into a language depended place (in Windows 10 1511 update broke the Hyper-V networking – Fix network connection issues).
Since then I had to maintain too many locales running Windows 10. So here is the batch file:
for /f "delims=" %%A in ('PowerShell -Command "(Get-Culture).Name"') do explorer "%LocalAppData%\Packages\windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Indexed\Settings\%%A\AAA_SystemSettings_MusUpdate_UpdateActionButton.settingcontent-ms"
It uses these tricks:
- Set output of a command as a variable (in this case a for loop variable)
- Execute PowerShell script in a .bat file
- PowerShell Get-Culture (which gets a .NET CultureInfo instance)
- CultureInfo.Name property (which has the nl-NL, en-US, etc codes in it)
It replaced this simple batch-file which has worked for like 10 years:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler wuapp.exe

Without dsquery installable, I had to query an ActiveDirectory spanning two domains.
Here are some links that helped:

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/03
The #Fellows | Unity IoC container: tips, tricks and dirty hacks post is a very readable and to-the-point introduction to Unity IoC focussing on Dependency Injection. Implementation details of various IoC/DI frameworks differ, so some keywords:
- Container
- InjectionConstructor
- InjectionProperty
- Inversion of Control
- Named registration (or keyed registration)
- PerResolveLifetimeManager
- Register
- RegisterType
- Resolve
- ResolvedParameter

Yes Dorothy, the .NET System.Array Class can throw you a NotSupportedException
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/21
It’s been in the System.Array class forever, but remarkably few people do know that it can throw you a NotSupportedException (for instance when calling Add, Insert, Remove, etc).
It does because it implements IList, but not all methods implemented from IList are valid.
And it also indicates that, as the IList Properties allows for IsFixedSize to return false.
A similar case is there for IsReadOnly: then you cannot even modify the values.
Ever since I started teaching .NET/C# classes almost 15 years ago, I warned:
beware when you use IList as not everybody implements all methods.
