Fine for me, String dt = DateTime.Now.ToString();

The wildest little inconsistency:
The DateTime class exposes Now as a static member in C# but allows you to get it as an instance member in VB.NET. In other words, you can say:
<br />
dim x as String = new DateTime().Now.ToString() <br />
in VB.NET
but in C# you cannot say:
<br />
string x = new DateTime().Now.ToString();<br />
Anyone know why?

Now is a static property of the DateTime class. When getting the property, a DateTime instance is created for you, so no need to do it again.  Tip: think of as just another construtor (like many other static methods that also returns an instance of a class) with a meaningful name. Now, that sound a lot better than just DateTime() , but it adds meaning to the object.
Hope this helps

I just find it intriguing that VB.NET allows access to static members via *instance* variables. Actually, it's not really intriguing, it's just *wrong*.

Here is how to get at string with the current DateTime in c#.
DateTime d1;
d1 = DateTime.Now;
MessageBox.Show(d1.ToString("G"));
The DateTime.ToString() method accepts many formatting strings, see the doc for details. The "G" format is mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss.

Hi, the default behavior for the ToString() method for most classes (maybe all???) is "G", so no need to even use that

How do you send an email message using C# WITHOUT using System.Web.Mail namespace?
I have a windows service that does some monitoring and I want it to send out an email after some trigger.
Thanks in advance,
David
P.S. AGAIN...WITHOUT USING THE SYSTEM.WEB.MAIL NAMESPACE!!!!!!

OpenSmtp on SourceForge does a nice job and it works on all Win platforms and it does NOT use THE SYSTEM.WEB.MAIL NAMESPACE!!!!!!

Have you tried System.Web.Mail?
PS - If that doesn't work, try System.Web.Mail.
|

You need to use sockets library to initiate a tcp/ip connection over port 25 and supply the necessary SMTP commands to send an email. This requires an SMTP server though.
It shouldn't be hard to code a simple email sending application but if you would like to use features like mime emails, attachments etc, you'll need an emailing component like devMail.Net- http://www.devmail.net[^]

I am desperate for help! This is really eating my breakfast, lunch and dinner!
I have a class I have derived from the native ListView class. I have a context menu that I show when the user right clicks on a selected item in the list. When they select the "Delete" option in the context menu, I do a ListView.RemoveAt(index) where index is the index of the item they selected. The remove at works, but when the method returns control to the operating system, I get an unhandled exception with the following exception text.
************** Exception Text **************
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: '0' is not a valid value for 'displayIndex'.
at System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItemCollection.get_Item(Int32 displayIndex)
at System.Windows.Forms.ListView.LvnBeginDrag(MouseButtons buttons, NMLISTVIEW nmlv)
at System.Windows.Forms.ListView.WmReflectNotify(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.ListView.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
I can find no place in the remainder of my code where I am trying to attempt to access an item from the listview. Can anyone help decipher what my problem is?

It has to do with the fact that there is no item in the place of the one that I removed (i.e. - I only get the error when it is the only item in the list or the last item in the list).
However, I have tried to select a different item (via ListView1.Items[removedIndex-1].Selected=true) when I have multiple items in the list, but I still get the error.
Any further help would be greatly appreciated!

I miss how I could look at just the header file to see all the class methods. Yes, sometimes there was a lot of inline "clutter", but for the most part, I could get a "at a glance" concept of the class.
Yes, there's the outlining capability, but I find it annoying to use. Lots of mouse clicks, it would be nice if I could set it to always collapse when I load file, etc. Yes, there's the XML documentation capability, but that's if I or someone who wrote the class actually documented the functions in that way (of course, we all should!)
What was the rational behind separating definition from implementation?

You have the ClassView to see all those thingies. (the Group by type is the nicest sorting).
You may write interfaces in separate .cs files, which is actually what C++ headers stand for.
That said, I have to agree I have yet to see a single sample using interfaces (not for marshalling).

Thanks for the info! I never used the ClassView in VC6, so I totally forgot about that feature. On further investigation, I also noted that the object browser displays the XML comment tags for the different types.

The Object Browser come from VB. There are many people that will stop using it now, because of this information.  As you can see there *are* some coll things from VB
