• Visual Basic SmtpClient vs SmtpMail

  Hi all, When i try to send an email via this little code snippet, everything works: System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer.Insert(0, "mailhost.medialaan.vmma.be") System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(" somebody@company.com ", "noone@company.com ", "test", "test")  Because the SmtpMail became obsolete, i try the new System.Net class as follows : Dim myMail As System.Net.Mail.MailMessage Dim client As New SmtpClient() client.Host = "mail.company.org"             myMail = New MailMessage             With myMail   & ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums BOTS on MSN

  There have been a number of questions about BOTS in the forum in various theads so I thought I would provide this post with a broader update on the topic. MSN has recently started licensing BOTS on the network.  The huge benefit of a licensed BOT is that it will have contact limitations removed (the reverse list), so that millions of people could connect to the same ID.  Our goal is to enable a broad network of these IM applications integrated with other MSN services (Activity API, Search, etc.). To make sure our customers have the best experience with these applications and provide tools to the broadest number of companies se ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Pocket PC 2003 Device Emulator keeps deploying same software

  I have a vb 2005 project which is using the device emulator The system dlls like system.xml, sql ce, and windows.forms get deployed to the scanner every time I run the application. This means it takes over one minute to start a debug session in the emulator - every time I run it I just reinstalled the entire vs installation but that didn't fix it. So I think the saved state or something like that is screwed up. Anyone know what files I can remove to reset the thing I have tried hard booting the emulator and rebooting the pc etc. Any help you can give to reset it would be very much appreciated. thanks ...Show All

  I am trying to compile the DirectShow Base Classes from the Platform SDK. I have installed the PSDK and the DXSDK. However, when compiling, I get the error that atlbase.h cannot be found.

• .NET Development Write Text File with the same Culture

  Hi, I developed a windows form application which writes a txt files with portuguese words with accents. The applications was developed in Windows XP in english and it writes the file correctly. But, when it runs in Windows 2000 Portuguese, the portuguese words have the accents changed to ascii simbols. How to fix it Regards, Marcelo. You need to install the font file in the machine under %System32%\fonts. You probably got the font installed in the first machine with the installation of some application or by enabling some language package but if you don't know you could copy the font file from one machine to the other. ...Show All

• .NET Development windbg/sos - !dumpheap/!dumpobj/!gcroot

  Is there any way to find the callstack that lead to allocated object in windbg/sos I can do !gcroot, but I would like to see the call stack that lead to the object allocation. Thanks for any pointers! Hi, Thanks for the links. You're right it would take more memory, but not huge amount. There is a tool called gflags.exe that comes with Debugging tools. It allows to specify stack backtrace for each heap allocation. Later in windbg I can query each memory block and see complete callstack that allocated that memory. It works fine in unmanaged world. I thought there is something like that in managed wor ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) I love DLinq. Really need n-tier support though.

  In section 7.4 of the DLinq guide it mentions that that's something you guys are looking at. Do you guys have an idea if that functionality will get in there before the product is given the green light to go-live Since most apps these days are designed as SOA, there will need to be a distributed notification mechanism. Thanks CZ The type of n-tier support we have for DLinq is simply an API that allows you to introduce objects to a new context after they have been round-tripped across the tiers. You still have to move the objects or data across the tiers yourself, and you have to figure out how to squirrel aw ...Show All
