Is there a way to write a program that would connect to Hotmail, so that it could get/send messages without using the web browser - I mean a stand alone mail client.
Why do I want to do this? I want to try sending messages, that are automatically encrypted, compressed or in some way proccessed before retrieving or sending and I do not have a normal POP3 mail account.

yes of course!
It's a simple POP3 server, so you just send POP3 commands to the server.
I don't know how to download the attatchments (or how to spell it Smile | :)

do you mean if I use pop3.hotmail.com and smtp.hotmail.com i could use any mail client to read/send messages with hotmail.com? what about yahoo.com lycos.com etc?

...and I even could write my email program that would send/read email msgs?

Hotmail uses a proprietary protocol called httpmail. You can find more info on:

Shared memory in C#

Hello, It's possile to implement shared memory in C# without resorting to P/Invoke or IJW (Win32 api) ?

I don't think that there's a high level .NET API for this. If not using P/Invoke is a requirement, you can acomplish this by using a ServicedComponent that's called by the two applications needing to share the memory, but this is ugly. But even then, there would be IPC, not exactly memory sharing.

My thought was implementing a volatile cache system in memory ...
Thanks.

Replacement for SetRedraw

This should be a nice easy question...

What's the C# replacement for the MFC SetRedraw?

I'm trying to kludge a fix on a databound TrackBar. I need to set the minimum and maximum values to +/- 32000, set the value of the bar, then set the true minimum and maximum values. Otherwise, it just doesn't work.

Unfortunately, this makes the bar's tick marks fluctuate wildly.

I thought it would be SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout, but that is still redrawing it.

Thanks for your time!!

ListBox, ListView, TreeView, and ColumnBoxes do

I had a similar type of problem with a RichTextBox where I had to "pause" the drawing, so I could do some formatting. It goes as follows, just drop into class and define SendMessage and the WM_SETDRAW constant:

[Browsable(false),
DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)]
public bool FreezePainting 
{
	get {return mFreezePainting > 0;}

	set 
	{
		if (value & base.IsHandleCreated & base.Visible)
		{
			if (mFreezePainting == 0)
			{
				User32.SendMessage(base.Handle, Constants.WM_SETREDRAW, 0, 0);
			}
			mFreezePainting++;
		}
		if (!value)
		{
			if (mFreezePainting > 0)
			{
				if (mFreezePainting == 1) 
				{
					FreezePaintingEnd();
				}
				else
				{
					mFreezePainting--;
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

int mFreezePainting;

private void FreezePaintingEnd()
{
	if (mFreezePainting > 0)
	{
		mFreezePainting = 0;
		User32.SendMessage(base.Handle, Constants.WM_SETREDRAW, 1, 0);
	}
	this.Invalidate(true);
}

I have tried the sample post on this site. It works well, but I can't find a way to auto disconnect connexion after idle time.

I tried the rasgetentryproperties but I 've an got invalid parameter error.

Does anyone got an idea?

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
