Have you tried using the System.Net.Mail or System.Web.Mail namespace for e-mail?

I tried with SMTP class of .NET 2 and I have successfully sent email with that. (System.NET.MAIL), But In my application I wanted to use HOTMAIL as an alternative option to SMTP because most of the regular users are not aware of SMTP server and most ISP blocks using different SMTP other than their own SMTP server for sending email. You know what I mean, Right ? So, I am being desperate to use Hotmail as an option. Please help..........

Hotmail doesn't allow external access without a subscription anymore. That may be the problem, try a e-mail service that allows external access(i.e. - Outlook).

Hi,

Outlook doesn't use a service. I was refering to the protocol it uses. When using the HTTP protocol Outlook no longer has access to Hotmail without you paying a sunscription for this ability. Some e-mail services now require that you pay to be able to use third party e-mail software. Now depending on how you are sending your SMTP mail you may have to pay this subscription inorder to be able to use their SMTP server.

Another option is not to use Hotmail's SMTP servers. You might be able to set it up on your machine, or there are many free SMTP servers out there.

Hi, Actually I am talking about Windows Application, not Website. So, I know there are so many free SMTP servers available, but Most of the ISP blocks their users using any SMTP server other than their ISP provided Server. So, I was looking for an alternative way so that without My software's user's direct attention, email could be sent.

Detecting Hardware Button Press in C#

Hi, guys.

I have a MTG Smart Backup drive enclosure with a "one-touch" backup button. However, the backup software that came with the system will only detect physical drives attached to the system. What I want to do is write my own backup solution that will not only work with physical drives, but with mapped network drives.

What I need though, is a way to capture when the button has been pressed. I have tried a search on the internet through Google, but can't find a link to the manufacturer's website. The software was provided by VIA, which doesn't mention the software anywhere on their website.

My thought was to use a Spy or Trace program to capture the message sent from the hardware button to Windows, but I'm having a problem finding such a utility on the Internet, and I only have SharpDevelop and Visual C# Express to work with, neither of which have such a utility that I can find. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Big Grin | :-D

Flynn

PS -- The enclosure can be found at http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=EC-2501U[^] and the model number is EC-2501U. A search on Google reveals a number of links to sales sites. I've been unable to find a link a site for the manufacturer.

Hi,

I am having two gridviews. In both gridviews RecID is the common filed. In Gridview2 lots of records are there. so i am doing paging.
In GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged, I want to highlate relatd row in GridView2. Since the data being listed the GridView2 is paginated, when a row selects on GridView1, it should simply navigate to the correct page with in the GridView2 and highlight the paraticular row.

Could anybody help me regarding this issue. This is very urgent for me.

Thanks

Hi
just try this logic.

get oid of selected row in nirst grid and then using an collection match row in second grid having corresponding entries to that of row seleted in first grid.

By matching u cn get row number (row in second grid).
if u have 10 records per page and for ex if row no is 95 navigate to ninth page and using oid make corresponding row selected. i think this might work.

how do I create a version of the server explorer?

DirectX - adding a bitmap to a drawing

Hi,
I'm new to DirectX so sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm trying to draw stuff and add a bitmap (texture) at the same time. After I draw some rectangles I say:

this.OnCreateVertexBuffer(vb, null);<br />
device.SetTexture(0, tex);<br />
device.VertexFormat = CustomVertex.PositionColoredTextured.Format;<br />
device.SetStreamSource(0, vb, 0);<br />
device.DrawPrimitives(PrimitiveType.TriangleStrip, 0, 2);

but the rectangles vanish just after OnCreateVertexBuffer(); though the bitmap does appear.
What do I need to do so that I can have both my rectangles and the texture at the same time? Let me know if you need more of my code to see what I'm screwing up.
Thanks so much! Smile | :)

Is there anyone who has experience with the graphics transforms that would allow me to create the kind of distortion/twisting as in GMail new account creation page? I can create rotated text, with and without kerning, but can't quite get the distortion right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

one of the things that makes it look alot different from the articles is the font that is used. It is not a thin font like a couple of the links I posted. Plus the spacing is alot smaller. I think if you play with various fonts and spacings it might help.

I have an old MFC application that I now want to add some .NET functionality. I’ve managed to use one .NET dll in my MFC-App like this:

#pragma managed<br />
using <mynetdll.dll><br />
…

But how can I create my .NET Form class on a MFC window (CWnd)…?

All tips are welcomed!

This question is better asked in the C++/CLI forum.

If I were to poke in the dark, have you tried a simple

System::Windows::Forms::Form form^ form = new System::Windows::Forms::Form(); //syntax not exact!
form->ShowDialog();

not sure what else is required. I think you may need a using call to mscorlib.dll...but, again, this is better asked in the C++/CLI forum.

ClientRectangle in VS 2005

MBursill7-Mar-06 8:05

7-Mar-06 8:05

In WinForms 1.1 if you add a menu to a form and then grab the ClientRectangle property you get the Rectangle of the visible client area minus the menu.

In WinForms 2.0 if you add a MenuStrip to a form and then grab the ClientRectangle property you get the Rectangle for the area including the Menu. Is there a replacement property to give me the same behaviour as the old WinForms?

This should be simple but I'm just not finding it.

Is it necessary to write code that iterates though each control on the form, checks the dock property and generates a new property (possibly called VisibleClientRectangle)?

Thanks.

-Mike.

After doing some research (and using Reflector to poke around in the ClientRectangle property) I can see that there is no simple way to do what I want. I came up with a solution:

/// Return the client area of the form after subtracting docked controls
public new Rectangle ClientRectangle
{
    get
    {
        Rectangle _clientRectangle = base.ClientRectangle;

        foreach (Control currentControl in Controls)
        {
            switch (currentControl.Dock)
            {
                case DockStyle.Top:
                    _clientRectangle.Height -= currentControl.Height;
                    _clientRectangle.Offset(0, currentControl.Height);
                    break;

                case DockStyle.Bottom:
                    _clientRectangle.Height -= currentControl.Height;
                    break;

                case DockStyle.Left:
                    _clientRectangle.Width -= currentControl.Width;
                    _clientRectangle.Offset(currentControl.Width, 0);
                    break;

                case DockStyle.Right:
                    _clientRectangle.Width -= currentControl.Width;
                    break;
            }
        }

        return _clientRectangle;
    }
}

However, iterating over every control in the forms Contols collection every time you want to grab ClientRectangle is slow. Anyone have any tips on optimizing this?

-Mike.

I suppose you could add a panel, set its dock to fill and use its ClientRectangle. You would need to make sure the panel is infront of any other docked controls.

Issue using a Treeview to control a listview

digicd17-Mar-06 7:44

I am using a treeview/listview combination. I want to use the treeview selection to populate what appears in the listview. As an additional note, the treeview will either display a list of companies or trades based on a radio button control.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to which event I should use to accomplish this? Or a suggestion on an alternative approach. As a temporary solution - I added a Load button but would prefer to control through the treeview.

I have tried the following events;
AfterSelect event - the event appears to kickoff twice - once for the item that it is deselecting and one for the item it is selecting. When switching radio buttons, the event seems to run for each previous item in the list.

BeforeSelect event - does not know which node is selected

Click event - shows me the the last node selected

Any assistance is appreciated - Thank you in advance.
