Hello visitor.

This is the personal homepage of Helmut Obertanner.
I'm a computer freak and electronic enthusiast and I live in Munich in Germany - the hometown of the famous Oktoberfest.
Why the name X4U? In my case it's a synonym for everything is possible.
I'm an experienced full time C# developer and doing so since .Net Framework 1.0.
As technical enthusiast I started Office development using .Net technologies.
As I searched answers and found help in the Internet I decided to share my knowledge in newsgroups and forums too. For participation, helping other developers, writing how-to's and articles and doing consulting and trainings I received the Microsoft MVP Award for the 3rd time.

As Outlook C# specialist I founded the website Outlooksharp.de
Beside software development, I'm building electronic devices for customers.
Prototypes with SMD PCBs and complete electronic devices with USB connections are my typical portfolio.
You got an Idea and have no plan how to put it to work - give me a call and I tell you if I can help.
A complete solution starts from defining the requirements, design the schematic and PCB, build a functional prototype, program the firmware, program the windows software, design and build a housing prototype.
Usually I work with very cheap PIC 18F Microcontrollers, these multifunctional devices are programmed in C language.
