• .NET Development How to verify if an email was sent or not ? Net framework 1.1

  Hello , how can I Know if an email was sent or if there is an error in the smtp server with the Net Framework 1.1 Namespace System.Web I am Using the System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(MaiMessage) method but it does not return anything telling me if the message was sent or Not . Also a note : I am using this namespace from a windows application . Thanks in advance for your replies I didn't pay attention it was for 1.1, sorry. We don't own System.Web.Mail, we own System.Net.Mail namespace which was added for v2.0. - and System.Web.Mail was obsoleted. The behavior I described is for the SmtpClient for System.Net.Mail namespace. Is there a particular reason you want to use 1.1 We strongly recommend ...Show All

• .NET Development Serialisation fails when using generic collections. Feedback 119402.

  There appears to be a bug in VS2005 which prevents generic collections from being serialised properly. Specifically, whenever any trivial change is made to the source code, causing the version revision to be changed, a mismatch occurs between the program and the serialised data causing a FileLoadException to be thrown. This only occurs if a) the serialisable object contains a generic (template) collection of non-simple types, b) the assembly has a strong name, and c) the assembly version revision number is defaulted. I have a simple test program which demonstrates this. The workaround seems to be to not put generic collections in serialisable classes. This, however, poses a major irritation for us as we are about to go to market with a pro ...Show All

• .NET Development How can I detect when PictureBox is showing ErrorImage?

  A simple problem but I can't see an obvious answer. I want to detect when a user's image hasn't loaded for any reason. The obvious way seems to check if the image is ErrorImage but I can't work out how. Any assistance gratefully received. Unfortunately it appears that the LoadCompleted event is created whether the image is loaded successfully or not. Thank you for your suggestion though. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista IActivityEventListener custom activity

  I have created a custom activity implementing IActivityEventListener interface. Then a EventArgs derived class which delivers the queue message. Then, from host application I send a queue item to the workflow calling the workflowinstance's EnqueueItem method : how can I intercept the message in the OnEvent method instead of Execute method I have also tried to create the custom activity as IEventActivity to be hosted inside an EventDrivent one, but the effect is still the same: only Execute method is called when message is received. Thank you very much in advance. I have followed your example, but the workflow designer doesn't permit me to drag and drop this activity like a normal code acti ...Show All

• .NET Development Energy Act 2005 and Daylight Saving Time

  Good evening, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this question, but I do know that date conversion is a function handled by the .NET BCL and my software is written in .NET. My software has the requirement to convert date/times from UTC to local and vice versa for an arbitrary date/time. Due to the changes made to Daylight Saving Time by the Energy Act of 2005, all of the logic provided by Windows and .NET will no longer serve this purpose. The problem appears to be that Windows effectively only tracks one pair of starting and ending dates for Daylight Saving Time. Systems which have been updated to reflect the new changes will incorrectly convert DateTimes from previous years. Systems which have not been updated will i ...Show All
