I'm Simon MOURIER.

I develop custom code on the Microsoft platform: C#, C/C++, .NET, WinRT, COM, DirectX, Direct2D, Direct Composition, Windows Shell, Windows Imaging (Wic), P/Invoke, Web, Desktop, Winforms, WPF, WinUI3, MAUI, SQLite, etc. in any domain.

I also provide custom software development services around most Microsoft technologies (actually been doing so for more than 20 years...). Feel free to ping me on LinkedIn.

You can have a look at what I do on my Github repository which contains open source projects and examples I've specially crafted for detailed answers I've posted to Stack Overflow.

Beyond github, I'm also an extensive contributor to the software development community through my Stack Overflow answers.

This blog in fact contains a compilation of all my best and (I hope) interesting answers on Stack Overflow. For these posts, the question is not included here on this site, only my answer is, but a link to the question is provided. Feel free to comment or interact on Stack Overflow itself.

And last but not least, I'm also the developer of the well-known free tool www.magnumdb.com, the "Magic Number" database. This database contains about 400000 values and names, int, guids, IIDs, PKEY, strings, windows messages, etc. heavily used in Windows APIs. Type a value and it will return the corresponding constants, and vice versa. It's used by developers all around the world working on the Microsoft's Windows platform, using any language.
