View 6 RepliesI am buidling an application that users can use to submit text data and attachments to email recipients. Certain fields, quite a few in fact from the textboxes in the app will be in the email body, and some in the subject line.This is how I am doing it right now, but I figured there has to be a better way. In VB it is one single line of code, not many like it is here. Ideally I would like to be able to better control the positioning in the message body.
mail.Body = String.Concat(Label1.Text, " ", TextBox1.Text, " ", Label2.Text, " ", TextBox3.Text, " ", Label5.Text, " ", DateTimePicker1.Text, " ", Label3.Text, " ", TextBox2.Text, " ", Label6.Text, " ", RichTextBox1.Text, " ", Label7, " ", RichTextBox2.Text)
point in the direction of figuring out how to register my program as the default email handler, and then how to make the program know where it is supposed to be sending email from the mailto: link etc.

View 3 RepliesMy website creates an email from an HTML template using MailDefinition and ending up with a System.Net.Mail.MailMessage object.
Usually, I just call the Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send method and the email is sent.
Now I need to be able to open the created email in the clients default mail program and then they click their email programs send button to send it.
My app has some labels with email adresses, what i want to do is some kind of linklabel but instad of oppening an internet adress, i want it to open, for example, outlook, with the adress in the destination field (many programs does so), also, it would be fine if i can personalize a default email subject and text, but if i can open the program and put the adress i am already happy enough
View 21 RepliesI've created an attribute, similar to the ToolboxBitmapAttribute, that allows you to associate an Icon or Image to a class.
To associate an image, the resource file base name, a type (to find the assembly), and the name of the resource are passed to the attribute constructor. I then use the ResourceManager to get access to the resource:
Dim rm = New ResourceManager(ResourceFileBaseName, passedType.Assembly)
Dim obj = rm.GetObject(resourceName)
This is fine except that I want the option to pass just the resource name in the constructor, and omit the resource file base name. Then I would pick up the resource from the default resource file. When I say default resource file, I mean the one when you start Visual Studio, open the property pages and click the Resources tab.
The problem is, when developing in VB.Net, the base name is 'RootNamespace.Resources', and when developing in C#, the base name is 'Rootnamespace.Properties.Resources'.
Where can I programatically find the name of the default resource file?
Update
What I can do is get a list of all resource names:
t.Module.Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames
I can then look for a name that ends with Resources.resources and use that to build the resource file base name.

View 1 RepliesI'm using Visual Studio 2008 writing a Windows Forms project and I'd like to know a way to step around 'default instances' of forms. I don't like default instances, they constantly get in my way, and working in a team it's causing some really annoying confusion about the object identity of which form is actual in focus at this moment. This means I need to go threw the entire project (big) and remove ALL references to any 'default instance' of a form. But this is difficult to do as there's no errors or anything, it basically requires me to search for every text of "MyFormType." and then checking if it's accessing a default instance and fix it like that.
It'd be nice if I could just turn it off or something so I could
1) easily find all erroneous lines of code
2) avoid the accidental use of it in the future by anyone on the team
I want to play system sounds with .NET code in my app - no problem if I want to use Beep, Asterisk etc as I can just use: My.Computer.Audio.Play SystemSound(Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk)But what if I want to play something like 'Menu Pop-up'? This sound is off by default in the Windows Default Sound Scheme, but if the user has set this sound up to do something then I want to play it.The user could have assigned any wav file to this action so I want to find which (if any) sound they have assigned and play it. Compatibility with Windows versions back to XP is also essential.

View 2 RepliesI am not sure if it is possible, but I would like to be able to provide a custom "SelectedHighlight" color when an item is selcted in both a treeview and a listview (Better yet, any) control.
While I am a fan of sticking with established convention in most cases, There are times and places when I would like to do this.
A. Is it possible to do this? And by possible, I am looking to Override the Default system SystemHighlight at runtime, for only a particular control. I am NOT looking to change global system settings (at least, outside of any time when the particular control has the focus.
B. I haver tried a few searches, and I will contiinue (Try searching for any combination of "System", Color", "Selection", and "Highlight" and see what comes back!).
I get the following error:Application-defined or object-defined error.From what I can understand, it's when I attempt to attach a file to the email, I get that error. What I noticed is that it's because the file is in use.Is there anyway to attach the file anyway? My users are simply not closing their files after saving, right now I'm using computer manager to kick them out. The process is for them to save a file on a server through a share and then I pick that up and send it. Works fine as long as they close the file after save.
