So the .NET framework has smtp built in. Yipee. I mean, really, it's great, but what about pop3? They just completely forgot about it maybe, or maybe they hate me.
Either way, I thought it might be nice to someday create a web app that had built-in web email for the users, but how to get email off the pop3 server? And once that's done, even more difficult is parsing it into some kind of useful object. So I wrote an email parser and created a pop3 message object, but it's not perfect yet.
That, and I'm thinking maybe building the email retriving into the class library might be good. Then we'd have a packaged (open-source) library to use for getting and manipulating email.
Yes, there's commecial packages already availble, but I know I'm not the only programmer ensnared in the grip of poverty until I write my killer app and move to where it's warm. So I'm putting out a call for help to create this beautiful library.
Are you interested?

My C++ skills aren't that great, so I don't think I'd be any help. But I did want to encourage you to do it, since I'm looking for an email parser myself.
Finding POP3 & SMTP classes was easy (if you use MFC). The only parser seems to be MimeSniffer, which I'm about to look at....
Interesting note about .NET I'm still using VC6 and figured the lack of free parsers was because .NET had one built in.

Hi everyone
i had in mind to develop a client application to connect to Opennap servers and be able to perform file sharing functions (as if there weren't any enough). I had in mind to create the application with C#, which i am trying to teach myself in these days, and which i find very intuitive and simple. there is, howeever, a simple complication: i haven't got the slightest idea on where to start... i would like to find someone eager enought to collaborate (read "teach") the basics of sockets and that stuff to create the basics of the program, whereas i could create an intuitive GUI (my best part)!
it's more of a please than a collaboration, but i didn't know where to post!
bye, thanks, eugi!

It was working fine since I installed SP4 for my Win 2000 machine!

Hello CPians,
another thread about that virtual company? Yes, because I think it IS a good idea. I like the idea since I first read about it here and I followed all the discussions. So what next?
For the long term, I think Marc Clifton is right. All our efforts should end up in a real company, where everything is well defined. Sure, why not buy in and be part of a successful running business? But in my opinion, it isn't possible to start right that way. There is too much to do, interested people should meet and discuss all this stuff and there would be no success without professional help in law questions.
But why keep things so complicated? I for my part lost my job because my employer ran out of money. I had to decide to start my own business and take our clients to me or to look for a new job (there aren't so much here in Germany). I started my own business and now I'm a freelancer in software development. So, wouldnt't it be a good choice to start our teamwork? There are other programmers out there looking for help in projects and there are programmers out there looking for a contract. So hy not bring them together?
I created a group on MSN just to do this. My intention was to provide a place where interested programmers could sign in, provide a profile what they want to do or tell about their experiences and let things go. When I have to look for help, I could start there, pick up the most interesting candidates and talk to them directly about work and hour rates.
When things work, why not step further slowly to end up in a virtual company? But for now, that would be the right way for me - just to start something.
If you are interested, just drop me a line and I'll send you an invitation for the group.

Hello Heinz,
What you say makes sense. It's a good start, and I'm particularly impressed that you've done something, rather just "talk the talk". I was going to suggest that I could create a category on a forum I'm hosting to discuss this concept, but then I read that you already have an MSN group.
In any case, I'm interested, so I'd love to receive an invitation to join the group.
I'm curious about one thing though--how do you (and do you, in fact) plan on differentiating your idea from the consultancy web sites that are out there already? A lot of them focus on the idea of either finding someone to help with a project, or posting a project and seeing who "bids" for it. Any thoughts on the subject?
Marc

Hello Marc,
thank you for your comments. I'd love to have you on board and the invitation mail should already be in your inbox.
I don't want to compete with consultancy websites. I'd like build a group of people who would like to work together with other members of that group. In the first step members should all come from CP, because they "know" each other. Later, group members could start having their friends, co-workers, ... join our group to broaden our experience and knowledge. There should be no contract and no arrangements provided by the group itself, all relationships should be arranged by the members among themselves. Perhaps, later, we could start to build some sort of a company out of our group where interested members could be part of that business.
Unfortunately, there isn't much respnse on that group so far. Perhaps you should try your forum category

Not many people are interested in joining that group  but perhaps we can build a small but interesting network together.
Why don't you want to join?

Mainly because I'm afraid that once I commit, it may make exessive demands on my time, some of which I may not be able to fulfill. Besides, I don't know how to join. Third, there is no forum or anything where people can interact, is there, other than a mailing list? For example, if I want to look up more info on the members, ongoing/completed projects, etc before I join, how do I do that? Fourth, how are you going to ensure there'll be a proper incentive for people to stay? I mean, if the projects are coming at a good enough rate, people will be interested. If not, no one would be very interested for long.
How do you address these issues?

Rohit Sinha

You don't commit yourself to anything when joining the group. You only show that you're interested in doing projects together with others. Only if you make a deal with someone to work on someone's project you'll commit to that person.

I would send you an invitation mail with the link to the closed group on MSN.
Rohit Sinha wrote:

There is a forum where any member can start discussions and you can set the options to receive all messages per mail or read them on the website.
Rohit Sinha wrote:

There are possibilities in the group for the members to post information about themselves. It is neccessary to do so, so that other members know to whom they should talk about a project with specific skills. And you can ask the members directly.
Rohit Sinha wrote:

It's just a try. If there will be enough members with projects they need help with then it will work. If not, okay, we tried.

Hi,
Mmmm... that's the dream of any programmer. The problem is that most of the time we have the ability of doing a very good job, but.. we are stupid people that doesn't have "contacts"... so we need to work for somebody that has no idea at all about software programming and that's all  .
I have thought a lot of times about becoming a freelance, and now I'm thinking seriously about that, but the more I think, the more I realize ( at least here in Spain), it's quite difficult to get clients and to get money from them .
Maybe we should make an "school" to make programmers learn about the hard stuff... getting "contacts" .
Bye
Braulio

Just released new forum app on my site programmingtutorials.com[^] written using ASP.NET (C#). Not much to the forums right now as far as functionality but any feedback as far as bugs, ideas, or suggestions is welcome! Thinking I would obviously need some sort of search as number of posts grew past my limit of 20 on datagrid paging?

it looks nice!
perhaps add a date based selection..

Hi!
I and a friend of me, developed a software for searching duplicate entries in a database.
If you want to check your DB  (and help me with the development ) please mail to me.
the app dont install enything to the windows folder, it need the MFC42.dll and GDIPlus.dll. the zip is about 1MB big.
if you test it, and have a question about how some part works, just ask.
the software is (for now) in german 
|
|
|
|
|
If someone want to test it, but cant read german, I can translate it.
|
|
|
|
|
I'd be willing to test, but I don't have to many db´s that suffer from duplicate entries.
Youcan ping me at hauptmann at yahoo dot com.
