• Visual C# serialize mail messages

  For a message queue I need to serialize (and later on deserialize) many MailMessage s. Quite generally I ask myself, which is the best way to do this To .eml To a mbox format How can this achieved Are there any free libraries (open source preferred) Thanks a lot Jan Yeah, it can get heavy on disk access if you have alot of mail going through that box.  I did do load testing and I averaged it out to be about a 25% performance loss for 1000 messages with the sink activated.  Although my event sink is really heavy, it is multi-threaded so I gain some performance back there. You don't need to be running Exchange or an event si ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Opening Doc Files

  For organizational purposes I added a DOC file into my project. I double-clicked to open it and nothing happened. I then right-clicked, chose open-with, chose microsoft word and pressed ok and got the same results. Just having a quick look at your problem.

• Smart Device Development CameraCaptureDialog Issues

  I've been having some issues using the CameraCaptureDialog class on an HTC Apache device (rebranded as the UTstarcom 6700): 1. After exiting my application, the device's camera capture screen comes into focus. This happens whether I dispose of the class instance or not, and the Close() method is protected, so I can't call that. Any ideas on getting rid of this lingering capture screen 2.

Howdy.. sounds like the application you are closing is obviously not performing cleanup or closing tightly and therefore forcing the dumprep app to run which raises the window. Ha ...Show All
