• Visual C# Configuring Outlook options with C#...

  My workplace is changing there email sever to use SSL connection and I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to do this easier than going to each computer and changing the option by hand. I found that the option is under Tools -> E-mail Accounts -> More Settings -> Advanced -> “This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)” for the outgoing servers. I am fairly fluent at C# and have already created a program to do this automatically for other Email clients (Eudora and Mozilla) with C# and was hoping to just add an extra addition to the program to change Outlook as well. If anyone has any tips or website for me to look ...Show All

• Visual Basic Detecting control load.

  I have a form with a tabcontrol. It has five tabs and each tab has about 20 - 30 controls. When I run the program, it takes a second or three to show the form (Because it loads all the controls before showing the form ). When I click a new tab, it pauses briefly then shows the controls WHILE it's still unloading the controls from the tab I was just on. So instead of a smooth transition it's very laggy, as I can see the controls on both tabs briefly. I was wondering if there was a way to make a progress control and have it step each time a control loads. I can seem to figure out how to tell when a control loads in order to make the progess ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB 2005 Ejecting removable media

  I'm writing a program that reads and writes to MO drives and I need to be able to eject the MO disk on completion. Any suggestions how to do this within VB2005 would be most welcome.
