Nope - images the traditional way are disabled. If you can find a way to do it anyway, go ahead, but I don't think I'm supposed to tell. Unsure | :~

Well, I was kind of looking for some basic ARM based stuff for like pocketpc type applications.

i've been searching all over the net for info on how to code USB communication. it seems like people are keeping USB technology under the lid. Surely USB applications are becomming more abundant as we step away from serial comport stuff.

would someone be kind enough to put me out of my misery and tell us all about USB communication. especially how to autorun a USB flash memory stick Big Grin | :-D

thanx in advance

USB please!

Okay, I get so much SPAM e-mail, I want to do something about it.
So, is there a reliable, configurable program that can help me to eliminate SPAM from my e-mail? I am looking for a recommendation.

Otherwise, I am willing to help code COM objects, C++ classes, whatever, to write a utility to help me do this.

Now, if I have to work on one from scratch, this is what I would like to be able to configure (off the top of my head...).

1. Multiple e-mail sources/services. Each one has its own username and password, etc. for logging in, perhaps.

2. I want some notion of e-mail 'senders' who are automatically considered VALID and those that are automaticlaly considered INVALID.

3. I want to be able to configure text snippets that might be contained in the message subject line, or body text, or both. Those that are considered automatically VALID and those that are considered automatically INVALID.

Ideally, this program would be able to obtain all pending message header data from the server, perform the analysis, and then request the server to delete the invalid items, thus saving me from even downloading the bulk of the spamming e-mail. I am pretty sure this is a specification for the e-mail operations, as I recall Eudora used to have some feature to view e-mail headers, without downloading the entire message. If Microsoft Outlook has such a feature, it is buried under so many layers of dialogs and menus, I have never seen or identified it.

Usage of such a utility:
1. User configures the utility.
2. User runs utility first (assuming it deletes messages at the server source based upon the message header data)
3. User then collect e-mail like normal.

Now, since I primarily use Microsoft Outlook, and it might be compatible with Outlook Express at some level, it would be possible, I think, to write an 'add in' that could also do this same work. However, I can live with a completely stand-alone utility as well.

So, any ideas out there? Does this seem like a worthwhile project?
Is there an inexpensive commercial product that already does this?
Can I perhaps successfully automatically eliminate over 150+ SPAM e-mails per day?

Thanks.

Where have you been the last year? Bayesian filters are the de facto method for filtering SPAM by classifying spam with a percentile representing the likelyhood that it is spam based on SMTP headers and content. There are already a TON of stuff - both free and not - that do this. One of the most popular is a plug-in for Outlook called SpamBayes.

There are also a lot of articles on Bayesian filters and most of the large ISPs (and many personal sites) use such an algorithm because - after a little training - it can filter about 99% of SPAM with only about 0.1% of false positives - or around there).

Well we ve all seen the multidesk freeware that helps group together windows and hides them suposedly as seperate virtual desktops.
Well it only helps in uncluttering the taskbar and nothing else

and basically all it does is group together window handles to either hide or show right

so i basically thought it as pretty lame

I was trying on how to build an app to indeed create virtual "MULTIPLE DESKTOPS"

where when switching between desktop indeed changes the icons on the desktop themselves

a feature that linux desktops serve

coz my desktop really does get pretty cluttered
----------------
if ive stated my objective clearly enough could anyone give me pointers on how to get the icons/objects in the desktop window

from spy++ ive found that the real desktop window is a SysListview32
so basically its a ListCtrl

thinking abstractly therefore its a ListView window whosn in LARGE ICONic view

so all i need in my program is the group the different icon elements in the list ctrl right

only i cant seem to do this
-----------------------------
any pointers on how i can do this??

or do u have any other ideas
if my basic premise is flawed please correct me

attaching a lame source snippet by which u can RESIZE the desktop window

Well, I'm just a humble MCAD, I don't have your impressive list of certifications. But from the courses I've done I can suggest the following....

1. Go back to your course notes for exam 70-310 or 70-320 and look them over - the answer is in there.

2. Your notes for exam 70-229 (as well as some other DB exams that I've not worked towards yet) should point you in the right direction.

3. Definitely your 70-229, 70-305 or 70-315 exam course notes will put you in the right direction there.

HI,

I want to run my application at windows startup.
I got the exe path by GetModuleFileName() and I wrote it to the registry(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Wind

ows\CurrentVersion\Run). But my application has a file read and write in the first module. So this file operation is not working at startup.

Is it possible to do file manipulation at startup?
Or any Other way?

please reply...
collin.

delay app startup?

Threading.CurrentThread.Sleep()

i wouldn't know what could cause your program to malfunction...

I'd like to learn more about EnterpriseServices (no more theory, please... only comprehensive examples):

- How to implement basic distributed "patterns" (like "Stateful" and "Stateless" objects? is asynchronous communication possible?).
- Examples of synchronizations (with activities).
- Security (impersonating, delegating, etc.).

Does anybody has written any article? Or knowns a good book?

Thanks.

Battles are lost but the war goes on.

sir i have to hook the keyboard and get keydown event and which key is pressed and then intercept the wm_char message which is generated for that keydown event and change that particular character and translate that to my own character in extended ascii range.
Sir i have designed a font file and i included lot of new characters in the font file to accomadate more characters which Tamil language have.I can easily manage to access the 52 characeters in A_Z and a-z using normal keyboard , but i have included 200 characters .I am not using unicode for i am not using opentype font but only true type font.the remaining characters are in extended ascii range .Is it possibe to display them by changing the wm_char message.?
If possible then please help me how to intercept that wm_char message which is generated for keydown event and change the defualt character for that keydown event and replace that with my own character.

Thanks in advance

Blush. This may reflect my beginner's ignorance, but what the hell. When scanning various collection classes in the CLR, it seems that there are three basic ways to implement a foreach loop against the collection class:

1. Obvious -- e.g. string from StringCollection
2. Object and casting - e.g. foreach object foo in CollectionClass. In the
loop cast item = (ClassToCast)foo
3. Inheritance -- things like InnerArrayList in CollectionBase

Assuming what I say is true (what are the odds?), then it strikes me that a great article would be to describe hard and fast rules to tell one from the other. Plain and simple, right now, I get a headache looking at CLR collection classes. But, with a good article outlining good ways to discriminate different foreach-able techniques, then I'd really feel empowered.

Am I on to something? Or, is this more Microsoft documentation fog???

Dave

I'm running on memory here, but if I recall, the defining factor for making something "foreachable" is implementation of the IEnumerable interface. This is also one of the reason why foreach loops are so damned slow Smile | :)

Jeremy Kimball

As Jeremy said, it is all to do with the IEnumerable interface. For more information why not read this really great Blush | :O

I have a fairly simple text template parser. It inserts custom data in place of placeholder tags, and allows custom sub-templates to be inserted based on dynamic conditions.

Anyone interested in this as an article?

ive just gotten my project for third year tetris. dont know where to start what language would be best to work in for a novice ?

What are the requirements? Does it have to be graphical? Does it need to work on multiple platforms? More importantly, what principles do they want you to focus on (data structures, etc.)?

There are many articles on datagrid but i have not yet found a proper, comprehensive one covering all the topics i feel will be generally required while using a datagrid.

Most of the UI in my trial project requires datagrid - but the requirement is in the belowmentioned format:-

1) only single row selection allowed i.e. user cannot select more than 1 row at a given time

2) cell contents non-editable i.e. does not go to edit more on clicking inside a cell

3) Should not display asterisk (append new / addnew) at the bottom of the datagrid

4) only particular columns sortable i.e. i do not want sorting for all the columns

5) customised column header text i.e. i want to display column names different from the default ones from the database

6) alternating colours / formatting for rows

7) set fixed column width which cannot be resized by user

8) Use of panel in the lower half of the page - this panel should display more details about the currently selected record

If there is already such an article(s), please do let me know the url for the same.

I found all the answers on datagrids in http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms/default.asp[^]
Take a look there, that may help you.

Free your mind...

Hi Guillermo,

Good 2 hear from u again. Thanx for the link. It's very Well Organized, exhaustive and Comprehensive FAQs.
