• .NET Development Can't send a mail with a 'protocol'-link :o(

  Hi, When I use System.Net.Mail.MailMessage to send a message with a protocol-link in the body-html like this... <a href="myProtocol://test">Click me</a> ... all I recieve is this... <a>Click me</a> The href part is gone. I don't know if it's dotnet or outlook that is removing the href part. Here's my sample code: Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim mail As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage Dim smtp As System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient = New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient( "my_smtp_server& ...Show All

• Visual Basic Unicode question

  After I have compiled my application are there ANY possible ways that UNICODE can affect the running of the application in any way at all For example (run on these systems characters typed and entered into fields will they be 4 byte characters ) If there is any possibility of any problems at all then how do I know when this is happening and how do I resolve the problems Michael J. Dyrnaes I keep asking you ... HOW do I know when I need to look for that "An example of the answer that I would have perhaps expected would have been that need to string comparison on every single data field every single time I have a use ...Show All

• Windows Forms TableLayoutPanel - Minimum Cell Size

  How can I get a TableLayoutPanel to respect the minimum size of any given control in any of its cells If I have a 2x2 table layout with a simple panel in each cell, and all the panels have 100, 100 as their MinimumSize, I get some funky overlapping when the form gets small enough that the table layout panel needs to make its cells smaller than 100x100. How can I get it to stop doing this Thanks. Try this... 1. Add TableLayoutPanel to Form 2. Add TextBox1 to upper left cell 0,0; TextBox2 to the next horizontal cell  3. Anchor both left and right 4. Set TextBox1.MinimumSize to 50,0; TextBox2.MinimumSi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Getting ListView to do things other than text

  I'm having trouble customizing the ListView for my application's needs. What it needs to do is: a) Allow multiple rows for each item bound, not just one. b) Support things other than just text for binding (DisplayMemberPath). As an example, I want a listview with four columns. Each ListViewItem is bound to a strongly-typed class and will require two rows: For example, take a look at  this mockup , which represents a ListViewItem. The lines are grid lines (it's easy to see the required two rows). I need a Date/Time field bound to the top left cell, a text field in the top middle left, and a decimal in both top rig ...Show All

• Visual C# another question with sockets

  hi, Does the beginreceive method (non blocked ) wait for data from server indefinately / or is it suppose to wait for the data to arrive at all (meaning process it only if it is available) In my program, the server sends my program a string "username" that i receive. I repply appropriately using beginsend method and it's callback. Server repplys me with string "Password" which i repply as well. However, after authentication server sends me one or two line of data and then beginreceive stops working. By that I mean, the program goes over the line beginreceive and it does not call the call back function for beginr ...Show All

• SQL Server Underscores in column names disappear in script component

  Hi, The column names I'm using often have underscores in them. I've noticed that, when writing script in the script component editor, the underscore characters mysteriously dissapear. Is this a known bug (I can't find any reference to this by Googling) Thanks in advance, Lawrie. Kirk, Any underscore in a column name always disappears within the script component. Doesn't change the pipeline metadata of course and everything still works. Having said that, I've never tried using a script component that had the following columns names: Column1 Column_1 This could cause some problems!!! ...Show All

• SQL Server Query question

  I am new to the database world and I have two questions. I am using MS Access 1) I have a table (Say table1) which has 2 columns (Col1,Col2). Col3 is generated on fly by using an expression based on col1 and col2 like (Col1/Col2) AS Col3 in the select statement. Some of the values in Col1,Col2 make calaculated value to become infinity eg Col2 is zero. I just want to know if I can use any conditional statement so that error won't occur, i.e. if the value of col2 is zero then calculated value should result in zero. 2) I also want to filter on calculated column col3. I want to say in my where clause show only those resul ...Show All

• .NET Development passing a safe Array as an out parameter to a .net component

  I have a .Net component that passes a stringArray to a client program via an out parameter. This works fine from a .net client and I have successfully passed a SafeArray from MFC to a .net component as an [in] parameter. What seems to evade me is returning returning an array of BSTR from a .net component via the CCW as an [out] parameter, back to this MFC client Can anyone help regards Hi Robert, This call seems wrong to me: SafeArrayGetElement( pSC , &bound[2] , XX); 1) you must pass a BSTR reference to be filled: SafeArrayGetElement( pSC , &bound[2] , (void*)&XX); 2) the third parame ...Show All
