Use When Upgrading To NET In Place Of VB6 MAPI MAPISession & MAPIMessages?
Jan 26, 2011
I want to upgrade and re-write a VB6 program in VB.NET I used VB6 MAPI MAPISession & MAPIMessages to read and view email messages into a Data Grid in the VB6 program I want to be able to load and view the email messages into a DataGrid in VB.NET using Visual Studio
Not at all sure of what I should be searching for or what replaces the VB6 MAPI method in the VB NET code
I have tried searching for sample code and read many forums, but still not on the right track
In one of my old VB6 application I use the MAPISession and MAPIMessages components to send email.
Doing it that way means that the application doesn't need to worry about connecting to mail server or smtp etc. The email is simply dropped into the outbox of user's default mail client.
But how would I acheive the same thing using .Net ? Remember, I don't want to connect to an smtp server, all I want to do is drop the message into the outbox of the user's default mail client.
I don't want to use the old vb6 components in .net or any 3rd party components. i'd like to do it using components from the standard .net toolbox or the windows api.
is there any way to move a contact or apointment item from a file (ie C: est) to a MAPI folder? The way I have it set up now I can save all the items from the outlook MAPI folder into the file, but I can't retrieve them. I've tried my.computer. filesystem. copyfile, but there seems to be no way of feeding it the mapi folder as a string it can understand. I've tried to see if I could open the .msg from the file as any format I could think of, and then saving it. No luck there. I've searched extensively, too, though I'm not sure I was using the correct terms.
My end goal is to make a folder on a shared drive that other users can go to and look at a list of contacts and or calendar items, then possibly upload them into their own contacts/calendars. I've even tried taking all the relevent data out of them and putting it into a text file, then uploading it to outlook. I got that working well enough, but it seems so convoluted, and is far from robust. It seems like it should be easy to just copy them over, since you can just click and drag them on the UI, but I haven't had any luck
I have decided to go down the MAPI / CDO or Winsock route in my application. Sending emails is easy enough. However, I need to retrieve and display emails. The slight twist in the tail is that I don't want to download / access all emails, just those from a certain sender's email address. Most users will have Outlook installed on the computer but i'd rather not rely on this unless I have to. I'm not sure which technology to use and how to go about this as I don't want to download all messages and then iterate through them. I'd rather just request emails with specific properties.
I am using VB5 on a Windows XP SP3 computer.I have an application that send emails to customers that have birthdays today and that bought a product from me today. If I run the application several times with the same search criteria with the same customers and the same date and time, I "may" or "may not" get the save Emails sent out.I am using a MAPI Signon prior to the birthday select and MAPI Signoff after the birthday select; another MAPI Signon prior to the sales today select and MAPI Signoff after the sales today select.I count the emails that are supposed to be produced in each select above and the counts are correct. It's the emails that may not agree with the counts.What could cause this?
Hi, I'm trying to receive email in vb.net and I found a great tutorial on how to do it. However, I need a component named ADODB and Interop.MAPI.dll to do so. Where could I find either component?
Like I imagine everyone, I often have problems navigating my code because the flow can jump from place to place. For example, if my code calls routine1, and I then want to go to routine1's code, I know that I can click in the dropdown menu and it will take me to that sub. But wouldn't it be easier if I could somehow right click on the call to routine way and select something like 'take me there' which would transport me from the function making the call to the code for the function being called? Then it would be easy to hop from place to place.
In Windows XP as well as in Vista,it was possible to compose and send out an email using MAPI with the default email application MS Outlook,utlook Express or anyother. Butin Windows7, it is not possible to send out mails using MAPI.The ResolveNamefunction callprompts an error. I found that ResolveName function is deprecated Is there anything else can fix this problem?Following is a sample of the code
I'm using the MAPI code by Dave Brooks.I am attempting to programatically send out a Crystal Report that is generated.When I run through the code without threading everything runs fine. The problem is when I use threading I get the return error "General MAPI failure [2]".I have never used threading before and understand that there are dangers involved. Can anyone provide any insight into this issue? NOTE: I've removed exception handling to make the code clearer.[code]
I am learning Visual Basic 2010 and I am working on a space combat program for my own education and amusement (a simulation of the Honorverse space combat system). I have a routine to add ships to the enemy ship roster and then place them randomly on the viewscreen. When I step through the sub with the debugger, it works fine, but when I run it without stopping, it wants to place all the objects in the same place on the screen. It's actually assigning 2 random numbers pertaining to the size of the viewscreen and assigning those numbers to GameObjectScreenLocation through GameObjectWorldLocation.X and GameObjectWorldLocation.Y. The objects are fully initialized to 0 in their constructor, FYI. Code is below:
I have been tasked with upgrading a large web application from .net 1.1 to 3.5. I have converted it using Visual Studio 2008, and it compiles ok. Should I be expecting everything to work correctly straight off? And if not can anyone suggest what are the major pitfalls I should be looking out for. Should I be taking the time to write and carry out a full test for the entire system, or is that overkill?
We are upgrading a VB6 project to VB.NET. I ran it though an upgrade utility (Artinsoft). I guess the question is where is the GUI. In VB6, there is a form designe and Object mode. That does not exist in vb.net correct???
It looks like during the upgrade the entire GUI, the forms, the buttons, they are all gone. None of that was upgraded. So does the entire GUI have to be recreated in asp.net or something?
I am currently working on upgrading an old visual basic six program into .Net. I seem to be getting this error after the conversion on one of arrays. "Value of type '2-dimensional array of String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of String' because the array types have different numbers of dimensions."
I am upgrading from vb6 to vb.net.I used to list my query results in datagrid in my previous applications.What can be more visually attractive control in replacement of datagrid?
I go about upgrading the Telerik ASP.NET controls? I am currently using the Q3 2008 release and I just recently bought the Q1 2009 SP1 release. How do I upgrade my projects? Do I need to uninstall the old one and install the new one or just install the new one? Also how do my projects get upgraded? Also, what about my projects that I have "live"? Do I just need to upload the new DLLs and and change my web.config?
I had been programming in Visual Basic 6 as an Intermediate programmer. I realized that it is far too old and is comparatively less powerful. So, I've upgraded to VB.NET. I'm using Visual Studio 2010. My query is before beginning programming with it, what things should I consider over VB6?
I have been programming in vb6 for few time ago and i used open SQL Server connection and command objects to make database transactions. I have been searching for similar approaches in vb.net too but not finding any starting point. How can we work similarly in vb.net application?
We have an old large program generated using vb6. This has been running for years and it works great.We would like to migrate/ upgrade to vb 2008, is there any fast way to have it running under vb 2008?I loaded the project in vb 2008, it did load but generate a lot of errors and warnings. how can i migrate the vb6 codeto vb 2008 easily?
a while ago I developed an interface that shows raster maps under VB 6.0 (see, for example, slide 5 "Forest Stand Development" on [URL]
I would like to rewrite the code in VB 2008 (or download open source code) to transfer everything to VB 2008. But rather than just putting a picture control on a form as I did before under VB6, I would like to learn and adopt some new technology while continuing to use classic Windows form coding. WPF technology (see [URL] is way over my head.
I recently upgraded an application that creates several report files, that are read by an older VB6 application that i cannot upgrade. I've gotten everything working (faster than i expected) except the new FilePut. I'm saving the ubound of an array, which is a UDT, Then saving the array itself(which again, is a UDT)No matter what I do, the file is about 7 b larger, and doesnt want to read in at all in VB6. For example, I put an 32 bit integer into the file, say 4000, VB6 reads it as 3948395 or so, it seems its padding the file at the beginning or something.
And Yes, i've tried microsofts ArrayIsDynamic function, but it seems to have made no difference at all.
I have a piece of code which sends email with an attachment from my application. The code uses MAPI to send the email. It opens up a new email message so the user can add to the email message, and then the user clicks send.The code works fine. However there is one small problem. The email that the code opens, is always in Microsoft Outlook. Sometimes the application's user has Outlook Express set up as the default client, but my application always opens the new email message in Microsoft Outlook. (Outlook 2003. In the one user's machine that has Outlook 2007, everything works fine and the email opens up in Outlook Express.)As I searched for a solution, I saw this problem posed many times in various places on the Internet, with no solution (or none that worked). I did try several suggestions which involved creating registry settings and registering some dlls.
I have upgraded a solution with several projects inside from VS2005 to VS2010, and because of a dependency issue I updated all projects to target .NET Framework 4.0. One of the VB projects now doesn't load two of its forms. I got an error:
[Code].....
Another form loads perfectly. The DependentVBProject builds fine, and is set as a dependency for the startup project.
Before upgrading to .NET Framework 4.0, this project loaded fine, but something else that had it as a dependency did not build (because of other 4.0 dependency).
