I have a requirement to include some basic email functionality into a windows desktop application - simple enough! The problem is that I can't use the standard SMTP stuff in .NET as we need the application to work accross multiple users desktops without seperate configuration. So I have no SMTP...

I am not sure I follow. If you have a play with the MSDN demo app you will see that for an interval of 1ms the events are raised far less than every 1/1000th of a second. That is what I dont understand; in other words how do I get my application to perform a simple operation every millisecond. I...

Why can I not get my .net c# program to execute a function every MS. Using the timers here... http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/02/TimersinNET/ Why if I run a timer over 20 seconds and try to increment a counter every millisecond does the timer end up at about 1300 instead of about...

Guys and Gals... Ive been programming in Java for years, but I have never really fully understood why some method execution, (or at least debugging statements to the console) seems to take place/appear almost at random. This has been highlighted again recently with a small app im developing...

Hi I am trying to enable my application to control certain elements of the control panel, like for example the mouse speed. I can find this in the registry and change the values ok, but a system restart is required in order for them to take effect. When you modify mouse speed in the control...

Hi I am trying to set the position of the cursor manually using the following code... Cursor.Position = new Point(screenX, screenY); The idea is to basically move the mouse pointer inline with the movement of a human player in a game. The problem is when I use this call it messes everything...

Hi (I am coding in VB.net but believe datagrids are fairly consistent within .net - hence this post as well as the vb one) Ok, I have a problem with datagrids - been battling with them for a few days now. I have an uneditable datagrid displaying some data out of my postgres db. That is fine...

Hi Ok, I have a problem with datagrids - been battling with them for a few days now. I have an uneditable datagrid displaying some data out of my postgres db. That is fine and everything is working ok - the problem is that I dont want the user to be able to select the contents of a cell either...

OK, I'm having a few difficulties here. New to C++! I have an input file of 0s and 1s, which are meant to represent bits. I want to read 10 of these characters in and create a 10 bit byte with them. Then I store this byte into an array to represent memory[256]. And then read another 10 'bits'...
