• Visual Basic How to Use MailMessage to Send MHTML?

  I'm attempting to send an MHMTL document out as an email and am having issues getting it to do so. What I've done is created a windows service to poll reporting services for a "Web Archive" report (read in as a string or byte array via System.Net.WebClient) that I then want to send out to a set of people via System.Net.Mail.MailMessage.

What I'm looking for is some sort of code sample or something that demonstrates sending MHTML as part of the body of an email us ...Show All

• Visual Basic DataTable and MDI form problems in VB.Net 2003

  Hi all, I will be really happy if someone could help me with a problem that has been causing me heartache for about a year. From an MDI parent I want to directly access the contents of a DataTable that is in an MDI child that is only singled out by its caption text. In the parent I figure out which MDI child I want by counting over Me.MdiChildren.Length while comparing its Text with the caption I am looking for. I then find the Janus Grid that is in the MDI child that the DataTable is bound to. I then get the data through the grid control but the grid "conditions" the data depending on how it is sorted.

• Visual C++ LNK2005 from a C++/CLI dll linking against a non-CLR C++ static library

  Hello all- I have some static C++ libraries that I wrote in VS2003 but which upgraded fine when i went to VS2005 Pro. In them i overload the global versions of operators new, new[], delete, and delete[]. I also use the STL and parts of boost (shared_ptr<> and weak_ptr<>) pretty heavily. They have dependencies on various windows libs (dbghelp, winsock, etc...). These static libraries have no common runtime support at all and use the Multi-Byte character set. I'm trying to expose the functionality provided by my libs up to .NET by way of a C++/CLI DLL that links against them and exposes a new public re ...Show All
