I would like to write(modify) a sink for Exchange 2003 that will read a subject line and call an external script/exe based on the subject line.
However, all the sink examples I see/download give me hundreds of errors trying to build them with Visual Studio 2008
Does anyone know of a good place to start?

I hate to state the obvious but go back to the samples. If they give errors when you try to build them then you need to find out why and fix the issue. The chances are that most of these samples will build if you set your environment up correctly. Check the prerequisites in terms of libraries, extra include files, COM objects etc.

Hi,
I tried to run my old MFC multi-threading program on PC with .NET 2.0 and it doesn't work as it used to.
So I made a test with console application.
My application dynamically loads .dll function with LoadModule and GetProcAddress.
When I tried it in single thread, then it works.
When I load module in main thread and then I call imported function in another thread, it fails.
When I load module in new created thread where I call imported function, it works.
My question is:
It is consequence of .NET Framework ?
I was looking for some implementation of thread safe calling in VS6, but I didn't found anything suitable.

No, MFC programs are pure C++ and don't use .NET. It looks like your cross thread code is wrong but somehow did not show up previously.

I need to run a program that uses .NET 1.1 however when I try to install it gives error "cannot install because other version of the product already installed". So, I uninstalled all versions of .Net and rebooted and it still gives the same message "cannot install becuase other version of the product already installed"
Any ideas?

Possibly create a virtual machine to run this in isolation. I assume though that you can't recompile this application and target a new version of the .NET Framework.

All .NET versions can coexist, they use different folders and version numbers.
It sounds to me it is the application itself, not the .NET Framework, that is already (partially) installed.
Also, I suggest you give the error message verbatim, either in your post, or to Google.

Hi,
I have an application which comprises of several components developed using C# (it includes WCF and other web services implementation). For integration testing, I have the language options of C# and vb.net. As I know except syntax difference between them, nothing is different, but as per my personal opinion, its better to use a language for testing which already used for development.
Please share your thoughts and comments on the same and also let me know if there is any pros/cons using c# or vb.net.
Thanks,
Jay

I see no reason to mix languages unless there are compelling technical reasons to do so. If the project has been developed in C# then stick to it.

I second that. Keep it simple.

Unless you have some special technical reasons for using a different language just stick to the same one.
Jaydev.A wrote: let me know if there is any pros/cons using c# or vb.net.
If you don't have any personal preference then I'd go for C# because:
1. There are generally more samples and snippets on the web in C#.
2. VS IDE editor support is better implemented in C# than VB.
Technical differences are minor and going forward C# and VB language feature differences are narrowing.

I am a C# developer mainly, but I have been looking at some VB code recently. I thought that they were pretty much the same because they compile to similar things, but I'm starting to think that C# is much better. Maybe I'm not giving it a fair chance because I haven't spent much time on it? I was expecting to like it, and had an open mind, but there are some things which I really dislike.
The first thing I don't like is the weak typing. I saw these
myVar = "-1"<br />
myVar = -1
This really scared me, I found it quite confusing looking at the code.
The syntax also doesn't look nice to me, but that's really a personal preference. I'm should there will be lots of opinions, but do you think it's reasonable for me to dislike VB?

If not, then apparently I'm unreasonable too 
I don't like it at all, but I haven't tried it, and I
come from many many years of C/C++ so C# is natural to me.

yeah, it is very reasonable. Don't hesitate, go for the real language.
BTW: there are some options that are off by default, if you insist on using VB.NET, turn them on (e.g. Option Strict[^]).

The main option to turn off is when installing Visual Studio. Uncheck the VB.NET box

Each language has its own lovers and haters, so does VB. I had been programming in VB for more than 6 years when I changed to C#.
But history tells us that VB is the language that has the shortest learning curve.
And there are certain features that VB.NET provides out-of-the-box that C# cannot do "neatly", for example, single instance desktop applications.

I don't see what isn't neat about this: http://www.ai.uga.edu/mc/SingleInstance.html[^].
Just because C# doesn't provide tick box for it doesn't mean you can't do it.
The choice in language is entirely down to personal preference, there is no significant technical difference.

I you had ever tried one of those solutions, you would realize that all those articles on the internet that teach how to create a single instance desktop application in C# just try to find out if the app is already running and then display a message box that reads "App is already running". I am yet to read any article that teaches how to "neatly" activate the already running instance (without using Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace and AppActivate method). I tried using Win API and P/Invoke but no luck

VB.net is not weak typed. It is strongly typed just like C#.
However, the vb.net compiler does not enforce strict type conversions at compile time in the way the C# compiler does. This means that you are able to directly place an Int in a String object and VB will automatically apply the type conversion. It's still strongly typed, the type is still a String, and the int being placed into it will be cast to a String, it's just casts can happen implicitly.
You can use the Option Strict[^] setting to change this behaviour and make the compiler act more like the C# one.
Either way, the coder is still free to ignore type usage (equally as they could in C# by declaring everything to be an Object).
In terms of the language, both are equally capable and equally well supported. The language choice is almost entirely down to personal preference. There is no really significant technical difference between the two.
All that said, I personally prefer C# too.

IDE editor support is better in C# IMO but that's a usability rather than a technical difference.
The Option Strict off by default was a really lousy decision. I've been bitten by this numerous times when working on VB projects.
