1: Open the file with a streamreader 2: Use the "readline" method to read each line and concatenate to a single line 3: Use a stringwriter object to write back out to the text file. The sample in this link should be enough to get you started (not exactly what you want, but all the parts are...

What about throwing an event from form1 when it's ready --- in sub main, subscribe to the event and close the splash screen when it's caught.

Lennie, I translated to VB - note that I didn't test it and I removed the special character handling parts that were in c#, but it should get you started. Imports System Imports System.Net Imports System.Net.Mail Imports System.Net.Mime Imports System.Threading Imports System.ComponentModel...

Actually what I'm referring to is return messages from the target server. An example would be if you were to send to a email address that doesn't exist on the target domain. The server should send a message back stating that. Your try/catch will not find any issues because your mail may be...

Thanks jmeckley - I think that's exactly what I've been looking for. Just ordered an O'Reilly book on amazon, general web development stuff with 4.5 stars over 33 reviews. Thanks again.

It's the state stuff, along with general design best practices that I'm looking for I think. Such as postback, style sheets, web control overview - and I'm not sure what else.

1: It's pretty simple to send the mail, although there are a few things to be aware of, such as firewall restrictions. Also you will want to allow for a way to receive messages back from the server your sending to in the event of bad email addresses, bounced messages for other reasons. 2...

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have been developing windows forms applications with .Net for a few years now. I'm interested in becoming more proficent with ASP.Net development. Does anyone have suggestions of books and/or other training materials/methods are...

It's already a button within a grid. I'm trapping when the button is clicked and that's when the value of MailString is populated with a syntax that's identical to what you've got in the mailto. I really just need to execute that part in some way other than with a "redirect". I tried just a...

First off, my experience is primarily with windows apps, so I appologize for the simplicity of this. This is using v1.1 of the framework: I've added a button to a aspx page that generates a new email - contents, who it's going to etc. info generated in code. The entire value of the link is in...

thanks for your help --- sounds like I've got a bit of research to do for future installs

The answer makes sense, but the problem that I have is I apparently know little about deployment projects in general. I'm not sure where or how to track a variable from the beginning of the install process to the end. I suppose I could create a custom action that would set the reg key and the...

The problem is this is a deployment project that may or may not be upgrading a previous installation --- I need to determine during this installation if it's an upgrade or not.

I have a deployment project that I'm setting up. I need to perform a different custom action based on whether this is a first time install or an update. Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to set the Condition property of a custom action to determine if the currently running install is...

I spent a bunch of time tracking this down (with Microsofts help) and finally found an answer. It seems like something that would normally be pretty common, so I figured I'd post something here in case others run into it so that others searching have hope of finding the resolution. The issue...
