• KristianSv How can I search for a specific message in Outlook using .NET?

  All, I'm just a little stuck (which isn't particularly surprising since I'm making this up as I go), so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I am writing something to interact with one of our UNIX servers that I have just about finished, but I'd like to add one more feature... As it stands now the user submits a file to the UNIX server to run some tests on, and the server generates an email sent to Outlook with the results of the test. I'd like to add code to search within Outlook for a specific subject line and open the message found. The subject line will be something like "My_test_ABCD", but I want to ignore "Your_test_CDEF" and "My_real_ABCD". Another concern is that the message may not be in the I ...Show All

• Shadowsoul Enter Button for a Field

  I read in another thread about this but I didnt get what was said...so ill reask this: I have a form. I want the form to activate a button after the user has typed some text and pressed enter. You can trap one of the Keyx eventys on the textbox and test for enter. Here is a sample for KeyDown or KeyUp Private Sub tbLike_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles tbLike.KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Return Then <button>.Focus() e.handled = true End If End Sub Notice you need to trap both Enter and Return as they are separate keys. Sample for KeyPressed Private Sub lbItem_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Wind ...Show All

• Paarul WebBrowser control and scrollbars

  In a VS2005 dot net application, I have a web browser control on a form, scrollbars are enabled. During the operation of the program, I send various messages to this control for display. After placing the message into the control, I then do a ".ScrollTo" so that the latest information appears at the bottom of the form. Great idea in theory... but if the client is trying to scroll back and see something, and a new message comes in, they get forced back down to the bottom of the list. What would be the proper way to determine if the client is using the scrollbar to move the information in their display I can then prevent the "scroll to" side from happening. Thanks ever so much, and I hope this post is in the rig ...Show All

• moo360 ComboBox, No Change.

  How do I stop the user from changing the value in a ComboBox Hi, If you're worried about the SelectedIndexChanged event handler firing, you can use the RemoveHandler expression then change the Index, then use AddHandler to put it back. I was required to do that when i was experimenting with Cascading Drop Downs in my App, otherwise i had a stack overflow because each time i added something to the combo box, it fired the SelectedIndexChanged event, odd but true Chris Thanks Brendan, I already knew that, but it's not what I want. I need the user to be able to select the items in the combobox, I don't want them to be able to write text in to it. ...Show All

• R.Tutus 2005 Compiler not recognising code changes

  Ok you guys, I know this is probably going to be something really simple so I apologise in advance. I've recently converted a vb.net 2003 solution to 2005. everything is great and I've got rid of my pre-compilation conversion errors and warnings etc and am reading to carry on development. My problem is this - in a sub project (which is referenced in the main solution by the sub projects DLL file, but I also change the source code for the subproject whilst in the main solution (hope that's clear!)), when I change or add to the source code (in the sub project) and start debug, or even rebuild the whole solution, the new code doesn't get picked up. I've tried putting a breakpoint in the code, and it doesn't pick it up, so i tried typing " ...Show All

• GOH Omnipuff Using Return insted of Exit Function

  I've been doing some internal code review here at my company and have seen varying degrees of inconsistency with coders exiting a function with "Return" or "Exit Function". I want to address this and give them a reason to use "Return", but thinking about this, I realized that I wasn't entirely clear myself why I would prefer them to do this other than it seems more .NET. The entire development staff is coming from VB6 and we are working on porting the old VB6 code to our updated VB.NET application. So I know to convince them to use "Return", I'm going to have to give them more than, "it looks nice". So here is an example of what I consider the old VB6 way and is what I would like to remove ...Show All

• ZopoStyle Ngenning and protecting the code in an image

  I'm writing some code that I want to be secure. I have stored data that I need to be uber secure. It's not a problem to encrypt the data. But the problem is to protect the code that manages the secure data. If I use reflector to dissemble my code, the dissassembly is magnificent and everything is right there. Using a c++ dll is not a solution because I need to call clr functions and once I've done that, the code is wide open to disassembly. Ngenned code is supposed to be dissassemable. But ngenning leaves the original image around, I suppose to activate the code that is placed in the GAC by Ngenning. Microsoft uses ngenned assemblies in their products. VS2005 is installed and then ngenned. But they don't leave disassembable im ...Show All
