I am using VB.NET to develop an Outlook COM Add-In and require the addition of a custom property page. The process requires that I create my page as an ActiveX component which can then be added to the PropertyPages collection.
It appears that there is no way to create the required ActiveX object with VB.NET. Thus, the only way to create a custom property page for Outlook is to use VB6 or C++.
Is it possible to use VB.NET to create an object that can be added to the Outlook PropertyPages Collection?

hi,
i want to send mail by using VB.net,
bau it dosen't know system.web.mail,
please tell me what should i do?

It doesn't know System.Web.Mail? Or YOU don't know System.Web.Mail?
It's really quite easy:
Imports System.Web.Mail
.
.
.
Dim Message As New MailMessage()
Message.To = "someone@whoknowswhere.com"
Message.From = "me@myhouse.com"
Message.Subject = "Who cares"
Message.Body = "I don't know what I'm supposed to say..."
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtpmailserver.myISP.com"
SmtpMail.Send(Message)

This should have been taken into account before you started your project. "In the System Tray" is not a special place where your app runs. It's just a place to put a Notification Icon. See NotifyIcon XP[^] on GotDotNet for a really good NotifyIcon class you can use.

Stop it! If you want to write your own OCR software, you've got A LOT of RESEARCH to do before you can even get started. If you knew what you were doing with the technology behind OCR, you wouldn't be asking us this question, over and over and over again. Your asking about the basics behind OCR, which alone is a VERY complicated topic and well beyond the scope of this, or any Forum on CodeProject.

WOuld've thought that you'll find it difficult to find a disassembler for VB6 project, unless it's been complied to P-CODE....

There is no decoder. If you try and disassemble the .EXE, you'll get back a bunch of assembly code, NOT your original source.

If I have a propertygrid and I set its SelectedObject to nothing:
PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = nothing
why would it continue to show the properties of the object I had set it to before setting it to nothing?

If I programmatically add a panel to a form and then add several child controls (buttons for example) then I remove the panel from the forms controls collection do I have to call dispose() on that panel and all its child controls?

No. But, it is good practice to call Dispose on the objects that you use, if available. This will make sure that any component that keeps open any unmanaged resources, like file handles being held open when you create an Image object from a file, are closed and released properly when then managed part of the object is destroyed. Not doing so could result in resource and memory leaks.
The Garbage Collector will call Dispose for you, in most cases, but since the GC is lazy when collecting objects, it may take a little while for it to get around to calling Dispose for you. It's best that you call it when you need the resouces released so that they may be used elsewhere in your app, without waiting around for the GC to do it for you.

Greetings,
I have been working feverishly to learn VB.NET with VS.NET Academic edition, however, I have run into a number of issues when trying to run programs having to do with .NET Framework types. I have been using Michael Halvorson's book: Visual Basic.Net Step-by-step.
The first time I tried to do an Excel Interop, I was instructed to create a variable as so:
<br />
dim xlApp as Excel.Application<br />
The problem here was I kept getting the "Blue squiggly" under Excel.Application (Type Excel.Application is not defined). This is what I had to do to get this program to work properly:
<br />
Dim xlApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application<br />
It was suggested that I could add the following to the top of the form:
<br />
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop<br />
What I don't understand is why the book doesn't mention this at all. Another book I have is 101 Visual Basic.NET Applications and it seems to make the same sorts of assumptions about .NET Framework Types that Halvorson did.
So I am wondering if the strict option is on and that's why I'm having this problem, or if there is some other "tweak" I've missed, or whether it is just because I have Visual Studio.NET 2003 Academic that I keep running into what seems like rather large omissions to me. Any ideas?
I should like to add that when I look at the examples provided with the book, they do not need to use the fully qualified names, they seem to work as advertised in the book.

Nope, you didn't miss anything. And it has nothing to do with the Option Strict statement or anything else in the Academic version of VS.NET. All you have to do to fix the little blue squiggly is Import the namespace.
The book might also have gone and added the namespace import to the Project Properties. Go to the Project menu and select the Properties (last line in the menu), then click on Common Properties, then Imports, and you'll see a list of namespaces that are automatically imported into your project when it's compiled. You could add the Microsoft.Office.Interop namespace to this list and you'll see the exact same thing the book shows. In order to write the book and examples, it is possible that the authors made their own custom Windows Application template and included the M.O.Interop namespace in this list.

Thanks for explaining that for me Dave. It was driving me nuts!

I didn't find anything where you told me to look that looked like an Excel Interop. Curiouser and curiouser...

No, it's not going to be there unless you add it! I said, the authors probably put it there in their projects when they built the examples. That way, they don't have to keep typing in the same Import statement, example after example. If you want the same functionality, you will have to either create your own Project Template (which the Academic version doesn't support!), or just type in the Imports Microsoft.Excel.Interop at the top of each project.

Here's the thing. The book came with a cd which includes all the examples so I can see the author's version of the code. His works as the book does and I cannot find anything about his that is any different than mine.
Keeping in mind that he warns the user at the beginning of the book that he wrote his using Visual Studio.NET professional and that is what he recommends the readers to use. As far as I know, academic is the same as professional.
Well, either way, I know how to fix the problem...

What installer? Are you talking about creating an Installer Project for your solution?

Can someone please tell me how to put an icon (which is already created and stored as an icon file) on the top - left corner of the form and on the desktop?
|
|
|
|
|
In the properties of your Form, look for the Icon property. You can click on the button on this line and it will let you pick an icon from a file to use in the upper left corner of your form.
As for the desktop, this is NOT an icon, it's a shortcut pointing at your executable. The initial icon for this shortcut, when created, will be the icon used for the top left corner of your form.

Man...is everybody else off today? Seems like Dave and I are the only people here.;P

Does anybody (Dave  ) know how to open a text file and load it into RichTextBox without using the OpenFileDialog?
I want a specific text file (the path will be hard coded, for now) to open and be read into a RichTextBox when the form opens.
Thanks
