@Larhange Thank u so much for the detailed answers. I'm looking into it as we speak but it seems that ImportPage() method doesn't exists in PDFDocument object. M I missing something? I'm using v1.50.5147 of PDFSharp.

Thanks for the answer Gerry but we saw that post too. Read till the end :-). We tried that, Its not working right.

Thanks for the reply.
It's a good start but not exactly what I was aiming for.
What I'm looking for is actually an option to write it like this:
Suppose we're writing an Interface (IStorageAccount) that contain both others: IDirectory & IFile.
Now let's say that IStorageAccount is inherited by StorageAccount class.
I want to be able to use this syntax:
var res = StorageAccount.IDirectory.Get("something");
var res = StorageAccount.IFile.Get("something");
By the way, you didn't take into account the case that both interfaces hold the same method with the same signature and you want to use recursion.

Hi,
The code line responsible for the error is 'Response.End();'.
My main goal is to understand what is different here from other services.
For us it is not false positive because the user gets an indication that everything is fine in this situation, which is not.

I'm afraid its not working

Hi Richard, Sorry for the late response.
Thank you very much for putting out so much effort in writing a detailed answer. This works fine!

Dear Friend,
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
Pls, this is the drill down:
First, I create a 'Field' entity:
Field f = new Field();
Than, I initialize the properties. One of them is called 'editedParagraph':
f1.editedParagraph = "paragraph text 1";
After finishing initializing all of the properties, I save the entity as a json file:
string destination = "c:\\...\Output.Json"
var json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(f);
File.WriteAllText(destination, json);
I need the 'editedParagraph' to be saved as 'paragraph text 1' and not '"\\u003cp\\u003eparagraph text 1\\u003c/p\\u003e"'

Dear Gerry,
I'm not trying to cancel drag event, I'm trying to fire it.

Dear Friend,
Initializing the List inside the constructor does not resolve it.
Only when I write the connection string hard coded the error stop, like that:
static GV()
{
connectionStrings = new List<connectionstringinfo>();
connectionStrings.Add(new ConnectionStringInfo() { Type = ConnectionStringType.Installer, ConnectionString = @"Data Source=localhost\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=InstallerDB;Integrated Security=True;" });
}
But if the constructor just initialize the list, the error still occur:
static GV()
{
connectionStrings = new List<connectionstringinfo>();
}
BTW, static constructor cant be public :-)

Dear Garth,
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
Although the exception still stands, Thanks to your answer I can now point to the object causing the problem. The static property 'InstallerConnectionString' Saying that the List<connectionstringinfo> ConnectionStrings is not initialized. Just to proof it, If I Rewrite the code to this, everything works great:
public static string InstallerConnectionString
{
get
{
List<connectionstringinfo> cs = new List<connectionstringinfo>();
cs.Add(new ConnectionStringInfo() { Type = ConnectionStringType.Installer, ConnectionString = @"Data Source=localhost\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=InstallerDB;Integrated Security=True;" });
return ConnectionStringInfoHandler.GetConnectionString(cs, ConnectionStringType.Installer);
}
//get { return ConnectionStringInfoHandler.GetConnectionString(ConnectionStrings, ConnectionStringType.Installer); }
}
The problem is that according to the compiler, He is not sure that the ConnectionStrings is actually contain anything.

Nice :-)
A recursive generic method solution would be nice...

Found the answer!
On the top menu click Packages -> Script -> Configure script and on the 'Current Working Directory' copy the path which python.exe is install, e.g: C:\Users\OronS\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38

the python.exe file does exist in this path, but I have 2 questions:
A. Is it okay to have two paths regarding python? (One for python.exe and one for its scripts)
B. Do I need to make changes to atom settings so that python files run according to the environment variable?

this is what i have:
C:\Users\OronS\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts\;C:\Users\OronS\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\;C:\Users\OronS\.dnx\bin;C:\Users\OronS\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Users\OronS\AppData\Local\atom\bin
is this ok?

How exactly do i do it? Can you please tell me what steps I should take?

where can i find the python path and where can i change the settings regarding that issue i atom?

yes. i forgot to mention that, sorry...

Hi, I was able to find the protocol (RTP) and get the information that comes from the card. Do you know a good way to read the RTP protocol so that I can process the information into an image / video?
For example:

the protocol is UDP and the library is datagramsocket (i think).

Thanks again for the quick response. I think I didn't explain myself well enough. I need help finding a way to capture this broadcast and display it via C # and WPF.

hello RickZeeland,
I listened to your advice and installed Wireshark. I can see now that the Src Port is 53567 and the Dst Port is 1900 and the protocol is UDP. How am I supposed to move from here?

You mean it can't be implemented in C#? I know for sure that the source code of the external software where I see the video is written in Java.

Dear Richard, Thank you very much for the quick reply (and sorry for my late response). We decided to go with your first solution, EPPlus. Amazing solution. There was no need for any installation on any server, and the Excels look just wonderful (design, graphs, etc.). Again, Thank you very much!

thank you for your fast reply. The way I display UserControls on the main page of the application is through a DLL I developed that contains one user control and its content changes every time according to the user control I send it. I went to this development in order to create a high user experience - this user control knows how to switch between windows in 8 different animations. Anyway, the user control is called pageTransitionControl and that's how it looks:
public static void LoadUc(System.Windows.Controls.UserControl ucParent, System.Windows.Controls.UserControl ucChild, PageTransitions.PageTransitionType tranType, bool removeChildrens = true, System.Windows.Window w = null, List<plist.plist> lst = null, bool hideMenu = false)
{
MainWindow win = null;
if (w != null) { win = (MainWindow)w; }
else { win = (MainWindow)System.Windows.Window.GetWindow(ucChild); }
System.Windows.Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(
System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Normal, (System.Action)delegate
{
if (hideMenu) win.ucMenu.Menu.Toggle();
win.pageTransitionControl.TransitionType = tranType;
win.pageTransitionControl.PARAMS = lst;
win.pageTransitionControl.Tag = ucParent.ToString();
win.pageTransitionControl.pages.Push(ucParent);
win.pageTransitionControl.ShowNewPage();
});
}

Dear Homero,
I just ended working on your solution. I finished when I clap hands in front of the screen! The clapping were for you :-). Thank you very much for this solution, I appreciate it a lot. It really helped me. By the way, I got your tip about Case Sensitive But just so you know, the XML which i uploaded missed the currect node. In practice, it look like that: , but I learned something new. Thank you very much!! Huge solution!

it's immposibble to write 'var result = filtered.Where(query);', the 'where' doesnt accept string. can u help me please with syntax?

it's immposibble to write 'var result = filtered.Where(query);', the 'where' doesnt accept string. can u help me please with syntax?

Dear Ehsan,
thanks for the quick reply.
I tried doing it befor (and tryied it agian after you'r reply) but all i get is this exception:
"Expression of type 'IQueryable`1' expected".
I googled it and couldnt find anything.
BTW, it happens on the same code row as befor. Any idea?

Using the above note giving me the result i need. because the get function of the webapi is async and because i am using a background worker for the loading animation i get confuse on what needs to come first. i need to know how to build this 2 thread and still push the loading animation even for a half second.

Great solution Richard, thanks a lot!

hey sergey, no, i dont mean rectanguler cropping. what i'm doing is cliping ellipsegeomtry inside a path and then do this:
BitmapImage bmi2 = new BitmapImage();
RenderTargetBitmap rtb = new RenderTargetBitmap(Convert.ToInt32(pathBack.ActualWidth), Convert.ToInt32(pathBack.ActualHeight), 0, 0, PixelFormats.Pbgra32);
pathBack.Clip = circle;
rtb.Render(pathBack);
PngBitmapEncoder pngImage = new PngBitmapEncoder();
pngImage.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(rtb));
using (Stream fileStream = File.Create(@"C:\Users\Desktop\EW\test\2.png"))
{
pngImage.Save(fileStream);
}
the problem is that when i choose the righth side of the image, the cropped png comes when the circle is on the left side of the image and the right size is blanked. same for each direction...what i mean is that the cropped picture actually does give me what i have chosen but instead of cropping the unselected parts it just made them transparent. i need to remove that. thanks...

hey sergey, i didnt answer you the last two days beacause i gave your solution a try and it didnt work out. what i think is that i didnt manage to pass my problem very clearly. lets some it up by saying i have a Path, inside it i have EllipseGeometry and i want to screenshot only the EllipseGeometry. how can i do it?
<Path x:Name="pathBack" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"
Stroke="Transparent" StrokeThickness="1" Stretch="None" Margin="1" >
<Path.RenderTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<skewtransform anglex="0" angley="0">
<rotatetransform x:name="rtAngle" angle="0">
<TranslateTransform X="0"/>
</TransformGroup>
</Path.RenderTransform>
<Path.Fill>
<ImageBrush x:Name="imgBack"
Stretch="Fill" AlignmentX="Center" AlignmentY="Center" Opacity="1"/>
</Path.Fill>
<Path.Effect>
<blureffect radius="0">

<Path.Data>
<combinedgeometry geometrycombinemode="Exclude">

<combinedgeometry.geometry2>
<ellipsegeometry x:name="circle4" center="100,100" radiusx="0" radiusy="0">


</Path.Data>
</Path>

ooohhh dear sa, how much i miss reading your notes!
when i take the screenshot of the whole path, i'm getting a round png which is actually the original image selected by the user. infact, i want to take only the circle inside the image (this is the part that user choose to be the profile image). the circle is ellipsegeometry which make it preety dam hard to take screenshot. regarding your question, i dont want to make the rest of the image transparent, i just dont want to take it at all. if you have any more qusetion, please do. i know this is a complex situation but consider the history of me with codeproject, you are a legend!!! :-)
btw: what do you have to say if i tell you i want to get the pixels surounding the circle and than print this area, will it be possible?

Sergey, i looked at your code and i have a question...
its seems we have 2 windows: the main window called "MainWindow" and the pseudo window called "RotatingWindow". as i see it, u confused with the windows because you put the controls (etc text box's and so on) in the pseudo window instead in the main window. if i am wrong, please tell me why u did it like that. another q will be: in order to make a logicall effect, do i need to make sure that i have the same controls on both windows? meaning, lets assume i want to make the spin effect on a bounch of windows. does it means that that for each window i will have to create a copy (a pseudo) window that delegate the target window and act like him?

This is exactly what I wanted to see! i saw your solution early in the morning (and run it). soon as i leave the office today i will get to it asap. basically, regarding the duration, i wanna make the window spin really fast on start (for about 2.5 sec) and then, gradually, slow the spin speed to zero. my window grid is asymmetrical so the effect will be a lot prettier than a square window. after that i want to give the window a nice cool shadow effect. FYI, this is the login window of the project. i will keep you posted, obviously...

Outstanding! Estonishing! Remarkable! Sergey, you r the man. Huge thanks legend :-)

...

...

Listen Sergey, i know you from earlier discussions but this time you even outdid yourself, i think...
your answer can't be more detailed. to be honest, i don't know if i have enough code experience to achieve all you wrote but i will definitely give it a try. I will keep you posted, thanks a lot for dedicating the time to answer me :-)

never mind... i used the second thing you gave and it worked!!! thanks!!!

i installed the sp1 as u said and i cant see the profiler when opening the tool menu in ssms. could i missing anything?

btw, iby doing the command prompt "tracert" i get a message saying the destination host unreachable.

"do you have a 'public address' NAT'd to it ?" ? I didnt understand your last q Garth...

Ryan, yes i am using ADO.Net. assuming i will go through the security issue smooth, i will have no problem changing the connectionString but the problem, as you described, is the "somewhere". assuming i don't want to use sql server installed on my personal computer (i really don't, but if you see any advantage please say) and i want to use "GoDaddy" for example, what server will i need to acquire, what sql server would i be needed to have(express will be enough?) and how is the connection String will look like?

Dear Sinisa, you are absolutely right! that is exactly my intention (killing ms access and handling one database for all users using sql server) but i am trying to find out the answer on how to get started. Some of the answers were not detailed enough. saying i don't want the database to be on my personal pc rather on a remote desktop. what am i suppose to do? do i need to acquire a remote server (e.g "GoDaddy"?)? what do i need to have on the remote server? sql server would be enough? how can i get access to this data base and so on...

Dear sergey, please accept my apologies but i think we have not reached a common understanding regarding the question.
i'm a developer for 5 years now and familiar with the ADO pretty good. My disadvantage is my lack of knowledge in web in general and especially asp.net. the fact that i used ms access in my code dosent mean i don't know the difference between access and sql server. i appreciate your answers (as always, you are the best replier) and all i am asking is not a tutorial about ms access, client-server or sql server from wikipedia but a good guidance on how to get started with connected to a remote server. basically, you need to see it like that: if a user using the software, how can he retrieve information from a database (sql server) not install on his computer? (of course that there is a lot more than that but this question can give a good perspective on what i am trying to accomplish).
sorry for being a nudg... :-)

is it ok to allow users to connect to my personal desktop? just to be clear, that it is what you saying, right?

what u r saying is that an sql server on my personal computer would be enough? user could connect to this sql server and retrieve data? another thing, what if i want the sql server to be on a remote desktop? than what i will have to do?

Dear Ryan,
thanks for your reply. yes, i am using using ms access but that is only for the client side. the user will hold an ms access database on his personal computer, saving all his information. But on the server side i want to use a remote desktop with sql server that will keep all of the software information, eg: how many users do i have (when user install the software it will connect to the sql server and register), how many users are connected at the moment, what will be the access level for this user, updates, upgrades (pro / free version), Notification and so on. regarding to the syntax, while using ms access, the queries written inside the code (c#) but when i use sql server, all of the sql code will be written in stored procedure obviously. any advice on how to proceed? what will be my next step?

hey sergey, nice talking to u again.
it seems like you angry :-(
please let me explain my self regarding to your reply.
you said "It all depends on what you are using and where"... i'm not sure i understand you. like i said before, i'm using visual studio 2015 and c# (i'm guessing winforms / wpf is not relevant for now). regarding to the "where", i didn't understand you...
Now, i know SQL server Its itself is a server but you need to understand that i didn't try thing like this before and i'm looking for guidance. i'm asking if i need to purchase a remote desktop server with sql server included and if so, how can i connect to it from my home computer. again, please understand i'm new to this method. looking forward to here from you soon :-)
BTW, please look into the answer i wrote to RyandDev below.

There was an error related to the network or instance-specific error when establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or is not available. Verify that the show right Os- SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

i'm still not solving this issue. is there any configuration i need to do on my side? maybe my firewall? if i have sql server on my local pc, can i connect it to my remote database?

is the user id in the connection string is the user name?

ok, first thanks for your reply mathi. about your last comment, i dont use Relationships between tables. but, i do have a primary key in each table which is bond to the pk in others. i need to get the data from the otther table during the runtime of the trigger. u said i can write left join in trigger. can you please attach a code example on how am i suppouse to do that?

I forgot to mention that I am not using my access as a user interface database. i use it only to keep data. the ui is in visual studio winform so that i dont have any buttons command on my access.

Well, that was my assumption so far but my question is how do I do it?
google search brought me not so good results.

o.k, let me be more specific.
i have 2 software. the first is booking managment and the second is sms control center. when specific values in the booking managment database changes, i need to listen to them, grab them and send them threw an external software (the sms control center). now, i need to know is there a way in ms access 2013 to trigger the sms control center exe when changes are made? i know that in data macro i can change field value when changes are made but can i run an exe file?
thanks a head,
oron.

Dear ralf,
the link is better than i thought!
thank a lot for the hard work, you are the- man!

snippes you from the article you gave me:
Case DISP_CHANGE_SUCCESSFUL
'Resolution was changed
'This is not an assurance that the new resolution will render
'proprely on every system. It only means that the registery was
'updated succesfuly and that the driver have not return any
'error
Return ChangeResult.Success
i buield a program according to this code and nothing changes.
but thanks aniway :-)

Dear ralf,
I need to know how can i change my screens resuloution.

both. in order to determine if to set the view to horizontal or vertical i need first to check the current status (allready got it :-)) and then flip it, so yeah, both.

thanks a lot for the quick reply...
but still, how can i set the screen orientation threw code?

First of all: B-R-A-V-O!!!! and thanks a lot for this great control, i'm sure gonna use it on my app...
great class, simple, classic and straight to the point....
if i may, i have to ask how come when i set the customeLabel background to transparent it turns white?

dear Ralf, ahhhmmmmmmm.... you right!
but still, do you know any custome label control which does the work?

trye it your way... want good :-(
lbl3.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(126, Color.Black)
i changed the alpha value, tryed all the alphe area (0-250).
its seems it aint got any effect on the label.
maybe somthing in the label property is wrong?

ooooopsssss...
i meant text opacity.
my bad...
i need the text of the label will be able to see threw it.

dear ralf,
after writing this line:
Dim frm As Form = B
the error i get is this:
B is a type and cannot be used as an expression.
i read that the problem could be in the queue of the timer. the timer rise and hase certain amount of queue he have to do. let me remind you that any changes on B form can't be done, not just the timer.

i tried that to. it want work.
but maybe this information will help:
on the first click on btnSend, the timer start running and the messages start to send one by one. on the second click, the timer still runing but the messages stop. i did what you said. the StopTimer function entered and set the timer to enabled = false but after the function end, the debugger goes to the timer_tick again and in the immidiate window, the timer is set to enabled = true.
its seems like any changes on B form dont catch. even if i put simple label on B form and change his text, it want change during runtime.

like always Sergey, you are the M-A-N!!!
workes great, thanks a lot!

dear dear sergey,
your answer above seems like the answer. i'll be in my office and will give it a shot tommorow morning. its seems like you gave me an answer to somthing i didnt know that exist: hide a form in the taskbar :-) plus the owner problem.
i will keep you update in about 10 hours...
btw, first name is oron but my friends call me Bond, james bond... :-)

hey again sergey!
first, thanks for the reply of you and dave. now, regarding to my Q, let me be more specific:
for start, the main form is not! MDI. i dont sure u remember but we had this discussion a few month ago and i decided to listen to you.
in my program, i have a main form and some other forms opened from the main form. when i open a form from the main form, i have 2 forms shown on the task bar and so on but only the main form is seen. when i click the second form from the task bar, then it shown on the screen. now, in a situation when my secondary form is set to topmost = true, when i open it, it will show on top of the main form (the main form is larger then all of the other forms so it seems like its a window inside the main form). when i set the topmost of the secondary form to False, after the Load event, the form stays in the taskbar even if i set his 'form.Location' event to a new point on the screen.
there is a lot of dissadvantage in puting the main form in topmost = true. for example, when other folder in the OS is open, the form stays above all and the client can get appset because of that. what that i looking for is a way to load all the other forms and when thay finished loading thay will be visible on the main screen and not in the task bar.
thanks!

sergey,
first of all thank u very much for your help.
second, i manage to handle the issue with your help and some syntax manipulation.
i tried to handle the base64 text when the text was not edit well. Apparently, the "." at the end of the text made the text unable to decode / decrypt. yes, god is in the little letters :-). aniway, what that i'm doing now is writing the text to txt file (from technical reasons) and decode it to another txt file and it works great. i'm guessing that there is a better way of doing that but for now i dont have the time for it. here is syntax of handeling base64 encryption:

If InStr(TxtLine, "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64") > 0 Then
Dim encodePath = Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Encoded.TXT" Dim decodePath = Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Decoded.TXT"
Dim str As String = "X-Source-Dir: minisoft.co.il:/public_html"
Dim position As Integer = InStr(1, TxtLine, str)
Dim c As Char = Nothing

base64Encoded = TxtLine.Substring(position + str.Length)
base64Encoded = base64Encoded.Trim
Dim position2 As Integer = base64Encoded.Length
Do While c <> "."
position2 -= 1
c = base64Encoded.Substring(position2)
Loop
base64Encoded = base64Encoded.Substring(0, position2)
If IO.File.Exists(Application.StartupPath &"DecodeBase64\Encoded.TXT") Then
IO.File.Delete(Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Encoded.TXT")
End If
Dim sw As New IO.FileStream(Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Encoded.TXT", IO.FileMode.Create)
sw.Close()
Dim writer As New System.IO.StreamWriter(Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Encoded.TXT")
writer.Write(base64Encoded)
writer.Close()
Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Encoded.TXT")
base64Encoded = sr.ReadToEnd
sr.Close()
Dim byte64 As Byte() = System.Convert.FromBase64String(base64Encoded)
If IO.File.Exists(Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Decoded.TXT") Then
IO.File.Delete(Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Decoded.TXT")
End If
Dim sw2 As New IO.FileStream(Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Decoded.TXT", IO.FileMode.Create)
sw2.Write(byte64, 0, byte64.Length)
sw2.Close()
TxtLine = File.ReadAllText(Application.StartupPath & "\DecodeBase64\Decoded.TXT", Encoding.UTF8)
End If

ok. let me check it out tommorow morning, i am no longer in my office. but if i remember currectly, i tryed this System.Convert.FromBase64String and all i get is "The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters."

Sergey, its seems that ii annoyed you a bit. that was not my intention. i tried your first answer and it didnt work out. not because you gave me a wrong answer, but probably because i didn't figure it out completly. what i am saying is that it would be very helpful if you show me the code you did to get the attached result above.

during our discussion, i found out this project:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18478/Base-Decoder-and-Encoder
it works great, but why do i must write the text to txt file befor i convert it?

i am trying to use the msdn function but an exception accure saying:
"Illegal characters in path."
maybei'm wrong and this is not base64?
all i get is:
"The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters."
how did you convert it? can u show me the code please?

dont worry about that...
but my question is how can i convert the new base64 text to the old text i used to get? now, let me try to explain my self:
until last week, my code handle with specific type of encoded text (table in html concept) and utf8 which i decoded and push to our internel software. now, i get this base64 gibrish and i need to know how to analyze it. i found out a website doing this thing (http://www.freeformatter.com/base64-encoder.html#ad-output) but i dont know the code for it in vb.net. can u help me with this?
for example, the gibrish goes like this:

hey again sergey, nice talking to you again.
actually, after reading (alot), i learned that base64 is as you say, not an encryption method. let me check out the link you gave me an i will give you an update.

sorry. want happen again.

my dear friend,
thanks for replying. i guess i forgot mantion i'm not working on an Html prj but on a winform. btw, since i want my program to be at top design, i'm considering develop it on a WPF form. is it possible to do that in wpf?

BSOD never appear during this fatal Err. i guess i'm stuck...

o.k i did it finally but i'm not sure how does it help me... please please please give me more details.

Dear George, first thank u so much for the solution but i'm afraid i didn't understand you the all way. on my local pc, i did found the "sysdm.cpl" but what i didn't understand is the "Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button"... where is this advanced tab located? b.t.w, i remined yoiu that i am working with vb6 so if you can give me a link about how to analyze the crash dump in vb6 instead of VS2010 will be good.
thanks again,
oron.

i understand that the Err is not so clear but can u analyze the error above? because i really dont understand what it means.
e.g, what does it means "Exception Code: c0000005" or "Exception Offset: 0001665c" and what is the "Additional Information" written at the end of the error. please help!

1. in our source code, we have a global ErrLog function that handle all of the exceptions and bugs. when exception occure, a MsgBox with the relevent Err number and which function throw the exception is shown. in this case, the exception is somewhere outside our code.
2. the DB located at the client side.
3. the client have about 7-8 stations. the Exception is at least in 4 stations that we know of.

Dear George and Sergey,
first of all, Thank you for your quick reply.
George, about your question, 99.9 % of our clients using the hebrew option Since the
software is sold exclusively in Israel. handeling only in english is not an option to our company.
Sergey, i remeber you very well from one of my last QA here and you manage to prove me
your great thinking and knowledge :-)
regarding to your thoughts, converting the software to .Net is somthing we deeply considering but
that will take 1-2 years and it's not a quick solution to my problem.
as to your advice about debug the code, i'm afraid its not that simple.
Normally, when an error occurs on the client side, we pass the relevant database
through our FTP and use our vb6 environment and the debug tool to locate the Err.
Since we concluded that this case is not a problem that comes from the database there is no point in
doing it.
Possibility we thought and it is still considering, is installing the vb6 environment at the client side.
Certain action will help us in understanding the problem is the transfer of all of our source code
to the client side and run it on the
vb6 environment but it is clear to you that this is something that goes against the company's protocols.
Another thing we are considering is that we made may not install correctly the Msdatgrd.ocx.
we allready tryed this and so far no good.
no matter what, this is one of my wierd Err and finding a solution to this will be liberator.
if any idea comes in mined, please, let me know!
thank you so much,
oron.

did that. no good. let me parse it for u:
first, i remove the word "subject" from the next statment:
s = "Subject: =?UTF-8?B?157Xmdeg15nXodeV16TXmCAtINee15fXnNen16og16rXnteZ15vXlCDXldep15nXqNeV?="
and that goes like this:
Info.SubjectData = Trim(Mid(S, I + 1))
then, comes the next code that extract only the rfc 2047 text, add the "=" at the begining and the end and encode it:
Dim str As String = Info.SubjectData
Dim x As Integer = str.IndexOf("=")
Dim fromName As String = str.Substring(x + 1, str.IndexOf("=", x + 1) - x - 1)
fromName = "=" & fromName & "="
str = System.Net.Mail.Attachment.CreateAttachmentFromString(String.Empty, Info.SubjectData).Name
what is my problem?

I'm flattered. it was great reading this feedback coming from an expert in the field.
but still, The fat lady has yet to sing.
in solution num 2, i manage to encrypt the text but it seems that the new converted string is cut in the middle. for example, this RFC 2047:
"=?UTF-8?B?157Xmdeg15nXodeV16TXmCAtINee15fXnNen16og16rXnteZ15vXlCDXldep15nXqNeV?="
returns a good translation to hebrew but got cut after two anf a half word. Is problem familiar to you?
and here is the full code:
Info.SubjectData = Trim(Mid(S, I + 1)) 'stuff to structure
Dim str As String = Info.SubjectData
Dim x As Integer = str.IndexOf("=")
Dim fromName As String = str.Substring(x + 1, str.IndexOf("=", x + 1) - x - 1)
fromName = "=" & fromName & "="
str = System.Net.Mail.Attachment.CreateAttachmentFromString(String.Empty, Info.SubjectData).Name

that was amazing!!! you are great!!! thanks a thousand times!!!

Dear Sergey,
first, i must give my appreciation regarding your attention toards my problem.
thanks to your guidence, i mangae (finally) to break the email to parts and handle each part. i also manage to convert the body of the email (the message itself) to hebrew and it looks great. however, in a wierd way, the "subject" part is a pickle. all i get in the subject, instead of hebrew is this:
"=?UTF-8?B?15HXk9eZ16fXlA==?="
my main thaught is that it is encoded in utf-8 so i tryed to convert it like this:
Dim byt As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strData)
Convert.ToBase64String(byt)
and then:
System.Convert.FromBase64String(strData.Replace(vbCrLf, vbNullString))
and finally:
Encoding.UTF8.GetChars(DecodeBase64ToBytes(strData))
but no luck. can u please tell me how can i find the encoded source of the "subject" and how can i decode it to hebrew?
thanks again,
oron.

Dear SA,
i am very sorry to trouble you once again. during the last hours i tryed over and over to find the answer according to your soloution and got nothing. i have difficult to understand all the process. for a start, am i suppose to divide the income email to many part according to the encoding of them? does one have a utf-8 when other is base64? i tryed to built a function according to the MSDN link you gave me and nothing. can you please, please, please show me how the code need to look like? i am loosing my self here.
anyway, this is my result so far:

.
if you could explain your last sentence i will appriciate it.

first of all, thanks for your reply.
seconed, i hope i understood u well. here is an example of encrypted hebrew headers:
"Y2hla2luZ9eQ15HXkteT15TXldeW15fXmNeZMTAyMDMNCg=="
as u can see, its not hebrew.
third, i want to understand what u saying: in order to encode the email into hebrew, i need to figure out the source of encrypted text? i am confused... please take it easy on me, thie subject is new for me.

so i understand that u the expert of this month and a legend in "code project" but so far u didnt answerd my question (althaugh u dont have to). all i am asking is how can i read my hebrew emails in a clear way? pleaee, answer this and not arround this. if u can attach a code it will be great.

the "ISO-8859-8" is only one of my trials. i tryed "Windows-1255" also. can u tell me how to encode it currectly?

What is the difference between them?
could you please tell me what am i doing wrong???

does anyone have a full code of a way to extract emails from gmail?

when using port 995, the POPResponse is "Nothing".
when using port 587, the POPResponse is "220 mx.google.com ESMTP z5sm8935828wje.49 - gsmtp".
