I�m using Outlook to automatically send an email to my mobile phone. To bypass the stupid "security" bug in outlook I use redemption.safemailitem.Now, this has worked for years, but for some reason I can�t change the adress to which outlook sends the mail. Instead of sending to the adress in the code, it sends to an old adress that�s not anywhere in the code (but it was, ages ago)

I am using VB 2010. I have a process that gets file names into an array and then processes each individual file. To know the progress of the process as a whole I added a progress bar. I init the Max property with the number of elements in the array, set Value to 0 to clear the progress bar and then I start processing each file. Processing takes a minimum of about 5 to 7 seconds, so I should be able to see the progress.
The problem is that the progress bar does not correctly visually represent the advance of the overall process. For testing reasons I am using 4 files. When the first file is done, the progress bar is empty. When the second file is done the progress bar is filled 25%. When 3 files are done it is filled 50%. When all files are done it fills to 75% then immediately jumps to 100% filled.
The kicker is that when I uncomment the messagebox statement shown in the code example it works just fine! I added the DoEvents() then the .Refresh call, but there was no change in behavior. I left the .Refresh commented since I believe that it is redundant with the DoEvents call. I think it might be a timing issue where the progressbar does not attempt to update until after the .Refresh/DoEvents() statement, by which time is now processing the next file.
Code follows:
'Get the file specs into array.
'Set up the progress bar.
progressBar.Maximum = strArrayOfFiles.Length()

I built the project into an EXE and ran it under Win 7 and Win XP. It works right under XP, but continues to show the above described behavior when it runs under Win 7.
I have a requirement of changing the cursor from normal arrow to hourglass in my application. I am using the SetSystemCursor Win32 API to do so. But, it does not seem to be behaving correctly. Below is the sample code that I developed to demonstrate the problem -

I am having the following problem, when the user wants to use the DateTimePicker (DTP), the date box shows in the middle of the screen. Then if the user wants to select a date he cant, instead the date box goes away and the DTP value remains unchanged.

I have written a code in VB.NET using "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library" to create an appointment, task or contact in Outlook. Now the problem is once i create an appointment, task or contact from my VB.NET code and then if i open these item in outlook and modifies and save the content (like body of an appointment) then the lastmodification time of these item doesn't gets modified. It always shows the previous lastmodification time. This happens only for those item which got created from my VB.NET code.

I work for a somewhat large company.There are about 160 Windows XP Pro users. We are still using Microsoft Office 2000 for the most part.We have upgraded some users to Office 2003. We are not using Microsoft Exchange.I have to export every users' Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2003 Contacts into an Excel or CSV file every 6 months as a way of backing the Outlook Address Contacts.Currently I am doing this by physically going to every pc and manually exporting the contacts.This is a large pain.I am trying to find out if I can use or create a Visual Basic 2008 Express program or script that will export the contacts from Outlook and save it as an Excel or CSV file.The name of the file should be the same as the computers net name.It should be saved in the same location, on the network, each time.I am new to programming and new to VB 2008 Express.I do not know or have any code to start with.

I'm working on an application that takes certain outlook email messages, saved as text files, and loads data from them into a database. It would be better if I could read the messages from the inbox directly into my app without the user having to save them as text files. I've searched the web and every example I find is from 2003 or earlier and is using VB6. I'd like to read both Outlook and Outlook Express Inboxes. Can someone either provide me with the code to do this or a good "recent" link with a tutorial?

I used to do all the database logic with SqlCommand and the Methodes ExecuteReader and ExecuteNonReader and never used something like DataSet or Datatable.

Dim cmdselect = dbcon.CreateCommand()
cmdselect.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1"[code]...
This is sometimes hard to administrate. So I would like to use a more efficent way. May thought was to Query a DataTable, make changes to it and then call .AcceptChanges and all changes where wrote back to the Database. But this seems not to be the way it works?The method .Update requires that i bring with my own update command, if i have to do that myself, why using the datatable, dataset... anyway?How do you write your DB Backend?
With SQLCommands arrays and variables?
With DataSet, DataTable?
With a VisualStudio genereated template?
With Linq?

I receive info requests through email, generated from a web form, which I cant touch, I would, but I can't cos it's an external service.
