• .NET Development Using System.Net.Mail class to send mail.

  Hi, I was coding a class to send mail via SMTP, but I found that in Framework 2.0 you have System.Net.Mail to do that task. The classes works fine to send mail on a server that does not require authentication. Unfortunatelly, I can't get it to work on a base64 encrypted server. The process of logging in that type of server is easy, so I expect an bool attribute, let's say, "IsAuthRequired", but it does not exists. From what I've read on MSDN documentation, the way to do that is to have UseDefaultCredentials to false, and Credentials must not be null. The problem is that my code do have both these requeriments, but I still can't run it on SMTP auth servers. I've sniffed the packets sent from my app, and t didn't try to au ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Documented procedure for Creating Managed Cards

  Hello, Can someone point me to some formal documentation defining the process for creating managed cards I have seen some sample apps posted but most of these seem to have been created by part of the MS Cardspace team. There may be several items that are assumed to be common knowledge that may not be obvious to someone who is not part of the product team. Thanks in advance. The cardspace documentation is 17 months old without a single update!!!! I've been strugling with my Cardspace + smartcard configuration for more than 6 months now. We are performing free testing for MS, but we do not even get up to date documentation or support from the developers I start to regret my choice for implemen ...Show All

• .NET Development reading directories and uploading without system.io

  Hey all. I just purcahsed a shared hosting account with goDaddy only to find they have the system.io namespace blocked for security reasons. I create custom Content Management Systems for my clients and need the ability to upload files and read the contents of directories. How can I do this without using System.IO I figured FTP could be a way, but I couldn't find a lot of examples ut there using ftp with c# to upload files or read directories. It doesn't have to be FTP, it can be any other way, but does anyone know how Thanks Yea - I always use exception handling. I just tried uploading (had to make the folder writable like you said) and it worked. SO GLAD their support was wrong. Do you suggest someo ...Show All

• SQL Server Parent Child relationship column hint?

  I've got a dilemma which I hope someone has a solution to. Let's say we're building a data mining model to predict aircraft reliability. In the training table we've got a column (among many others) with a unique aircraft ID, and then a column for the type (737,747) and then a column for the series (100,200,300). I.E. A 737-800 series would be "737" and "800". There is in essence a parent-child relationship between these 2 columns. 737's should share a common set of reliability factors, and then those factors might be further defined by the series number (for instance, the 737 might have very reliable radar except for the 500 series). The series is analogous to what model year a car is. What I want to make sure d ...Show All

  I am attempting to create tabs based on how many records are returned by an ObservableCollection.

The problem is I don't know the correct way to access those instances, here is what I am attempting in the red highlighted area. public void PopulateAssetTabs(string TabName) { ObjectDataProvider myTabData = new ObjectDataProvider (); myTabData.ObjectType = Type.GetType("Asset_Manager.AppData.TabListDB" ); myTabData.ConstructorParameters.Add(TabName); Binding bind2obj = new Binding (); bind2obj.Source = myTabData; foreach (AssetTabItems myItems in myTabData.Data) { // Cre ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Global EventHandlers

  I am trying to create eventhandlers NOT SPECIFIC to any form or panel or frame.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Communication with external applications

  Hello, I've been trying the hands-on labs and now I'm developing a simple workflow myself, but I don't really know how to communicate between an external application and the local workflow. I know that lab05 deals with a similar topic but I've found that the communication was only between a LOCAL application and the workflow but not with an external application. Now I'm trying to follow the expense reporting application in lab01 (resources folder) and I try to see how it communicates with the workflow. I've seen it uses .NET Remoting to create an instance of the remote class, but I don't get to understand well what it does because the same project has together the remoteservices class and the localservices class.

• SQL Server Text Mining Available?

  Hi there, I have read about SQL Server Integration Services and that they also provide Text Mining service. I have looked at one of the tutorials but it seems that the thing that I want is not there. I want the following: I want to develop a domain-specific knowledgable system that reads some unstructured data related to the domain. Then, when I query it will provide the most candidate results from these documents ranked by the most appropriate to the least (if the answer is there). Please let me know if you beleive that I still can use SQL Server integration Services to implement this scenario. Otherwise, if you have any other resourse, like SDK, that can help me please let me know as well. Regards I have not tried t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Making an asynchronous call from a .Net 2.0 client(asmx) to a WCF method

  hi All, I have a WCF method that does a time intensive operation. However the method does not have a return type. I have a .Net 2.0 client(asmx) that I generated using WSDL. Now since the WCF method call is a time intensive operation, I want to make the call to the method asynchronously from my ASP.Net application in a "Fire and Forget" Fashion so as to not block the client application. To achieve this I placed the "One-Way" attribute to "True" on the particular WCF method. However when the call is made from the client ASP.Net page to the WCF method through the .Net 2.0 proxy(generated by WSDL) results in an error as shown below "Additional information: Client found response content type of ', ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions TextChange event in TextBox

  I've got these 9 textboxes - When the text is changed it has this code DONEXTSTEP() And it does that Private Sub. How can that next Sub know what textbox sent it Hi, TextBox's TextChanged event has a sender parameter. This parameter tells you which control raised the event. To use it, first cast it to the TextBox type: Private Sub TextBox_TextChanged( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged, TextBox2.TextChanged, TextBox3.TextChanged Dim textBox As TextBox = DirectCast (sender, TextBox) DoNextStep(textBox) End Sub Andrej ...Show All
