• .NET Development system.net.mail with embedded images

  Hi, I want to use LinkedResource to embed images in emails. This works with local images but it's a bit more complicated with an external image (using an url/uri). You could make me happy with an example in VB.... Thanks very much! Martin Click here for MSDN docs . The LinkedResource class is the last, and least used main class. It is mainly used for creating embedded images. To create an embedded image you will need to first create a Html formatted AlternateView. Within that alternate view you create an tag, that points to the ContentId (CID) of the LinkedResource. You then create a LinkedResource object and add it to the AlternateView's LinkedResources collection. Below is an example usi ...Show All

• .NET Development Memory not freed in MSHTML

  I have a large .net control that I am running in MSHTML. The control simply loads up a number of images, however this problem has been replicated with a number of other .net controls. When the control is unloaded by calling up another page none of the memory is freed. Using perfmon I have a flat line for both virtual and private bytes that is never freed until the application is shut down. I could understand that some of the .net framework is kept open after exciting the control to increase the speed of the next callup, however the memory does not seem to drop at all. I would have thought that the GC would have cleaned up some of the memory Has anyone else seen this problem. Is it something I am not doing in my code or is it normal mshtm ...Show All

• Community Chat Zune and the iPod

  I've been following the Zune announcements fairly closely here at work. If you follow my blog, you'll see that I'm pretty passionate about media technologies, and recently went through the pain of migrating away from iPod/iTunes and onto Yahoo Music/Gigabeat S (Portable Media Center). Here the blog category where I talk about it: http://blogs.msdn.com/joemorel/archive/category/13772.aspx Now Zune is in the mix. It looks pretty neat, but I'm not sure if people are really going to go for the whole WiFi thing. I'm just not sure that I want to listen to the same music as the person sitting next to me on the bus. What do you think I've had an iPod and hated it. I have a Muvo, and I love it. It holds a gig of music, the screen is ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Installed custom Windows CE 5.0 device SDK does not show up in Visual Studio 2005

  I am trying to build a native C++ application using Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 for a custom Windows CE 5.0 device. I installed the SDK for our device on a machine running Windows XP. But the installed SDK does not show up in the 'Installed SDKs' list in Visual Studio 2005. Would anybody have any ideas as to what could be going wrong I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the WCE.VCPlatform.config file. It does not contain our SDK entry. I guess that is why Visual Studio cannot see the SDK. The SDK is built from PlatformBuilder 5.0. Are there any settings that we would need to set in Platform Builder before building the SDK ...Show All

• Visual Basic converting datagrid control to html table

  I have several datagrid controls in an application i am finishing up on, i need to output the contents to an html file, so i need to convert the datagrid control into a html table, their wouldn't happen to be any easy way of doing this rather then going though cell by cell, extracting the contents and adding it on to a string along with the html code to make it a table is their First of all, your idea isn't bad. It's just not as clean. I'd use the Stringbuilder if there is any extensive amount of data because it will be much faster.

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build Question

  Hello, we have gotten team build up and running and our vb.net solution appears to succesfully build on the build machine. The binaries that get sent to the drop location after a build only include the primary output dll's and exe. The output does not include any of the dependent dll's (third party dlls infragistics, crystal..etc) that are needed to run the application. We would like to use InstallShield to package this output for deployment. Is there any way to get the build machine to drop all required demployment files after a build The other question we have is why does the drop location output include all the debug files when the buildtype is setup for release mode Is there a way to have TFS only drop the release binaries Any Help ...Show All
