• .NET Development .Net 2.0 send email with multiple “To” recipients

  Hi, I know how to send emails in .Net 2.0, but I can not send one with multiple email recipients in the “to” field. If possible I would like to specify display names for all recipients in the “to” field but this is not required. I had the same problem, rather than change all of my code, I changed my main mail routine as follows. This works for me, let me know if you have any questions. Publ ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Agent Failing when trying to run my SSIS Package

  I found a similar thread posted under the same title as this by dba123. Unfortunately, his solution does not match my problem. I have a SSIS package that will run fine in debug mode, will run fine when published to the server when I right click and execute it. However, when I run it through a job, either scheduled or running the job manually, the job fails. There is an entry in the servers application log telling me that "login failed fo ...Show All

• .NET Development Cleaning up a Pinned GCHandle

  THe constructor of my class creates a pinned GCHandle to a large array of uints. The destructor just calls Free() on the handle.

• Visual Basic How to make slideshow transition with Picturebox

  You've seen those fancy wipes, fades, cut and swirls in slideshows... now, how do you do it with the Picturebox It's incredible how many people mistake the picturebox control for a paint program, or for Powerpoint. You can't.  A picture box is there so you can show a picture without writing the two lines of code required.  If you want to do more, you'll need a lot more than those two lines, you'll ...Show All

  Trouble with using the XML Source Adapter and generated XSD. The XML source is from a file.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Project Location is not trusted

  Hi All, I have Visual C# 2005 express edition installed on my computer and I'm having trouble with non trusted projects.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managed DirectX for .NET 2.0 Documentation

  Is there any decent documentation out there for Managed DirectX for .NET 2.0 I'm using the latest beta of it from the December 2005 DirectX SDK, but all of the documentation and examples are targeted for the older Managed DirectX for .NET 1.1. I've run into some inexplicable problems and am not sure where to turn. MDX2.0 is sufficiently different enough from MDX1.1 such that the old docs and samples don't help much.
