actually it is the same when it comes to managed but I found the answer. It turns out that when I add a new event I have to pass in the class that's calling the event: ... m_codeProject->MessageReceived += gcnew MessageReceivedEventHandler(this, &NS::MessageReceived_Message); ... thanks!

If you want to integrate with Visual Studio, you should check out the Visual Studio Extensibility Center/[^], there is all kinds of documentation for writing add-in's for Visual Studio there. - Nick Parker Microsoft MVP - Visual C# My Blog | My Articles

thanks for the reply. what http commands would I use to send the mail? I tried quickly searching google but it was talking about ssh tunneling, is this what you're talking about? thanks, Rob Tomson -- There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

That worked. Thanks! I guess I should keep an eye on what scope the variables are in. Thanks, Rob Tomson -- There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Thank You! That worked like a charm. Thanks, Rob Tomson -- There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Just do not forget that this only works on recent NTFS versions. And that it is quite easy to break the alternate streams. I suggest you do some "experiments" by hand first. Cheers Sid

You're welcome.

.bmp does not support alpha channels, nor does .jpg, .gif, or .tiff. .gif only supports an indexed color to serve as a transparency, which is the same as what is done for 24-bit and lower .ico files. .png does support alpha channels. You can find lots of information about image formats by searching the web, but this forum is not the appropriate place for questions not related to using C#. You can also use Image.IsAlphaPixelFormat on each member of the PixelFormat enumeration to see which ones that GDI+ (which .NET uses for the graphics classes) supports support alpha channels. If you're question is about how to use such images in C# then see the Image class in the .NET Framework SDK. Managed DirectX can also make use of these, as well as native code. Use Bitmap.GetHbitmap to get an IntPtr that represents the HBITMAP (native handle to a bitmap data structure, which describes about any image format) for calls to native APIs that require an HBITMAP.

You want to program this yourself?!? Use VNC. Messing around with it in a private network is really funny.

If you use the built-in format provider with the switch 's' you get aery similar format to yours above and you can use the parse static method on a DateTime...eg: string s = DateTime.Now.ToString("s"); Console.WriteLine(s); DateTime parsedDateTime = DateTime.Parse(s); Console.WriteLine(parsedDateTime); the "S" switch is defined as this format in the Docs: 2002-01-03T00:00:00 yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss (SortableDateTimePattern) If you really want your own format then you can write your own class which implements IFormatProvider, or inherits from DateTimeFormatInfo.

A console window will appear for console apps regardless of ProcessStartInfo.CreateNoWindow. It's just the nature of Windows existing on top of DOS while Windows NT simply contains a command prompt (big difference). Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

just an update; i succesfully wrote a text string to a file on an http site. if you have any suggestions please let me know. private void publish() { this.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor; this.btnPublish.Enabled = false; this.btnPublish.Text = "Wait..."; System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient();; string fullPath; string fileText; byte[] byteArray; System.IO.Stream stream; System.IO.StreamWriter sWriter; fullPath = this.xml.Find("BaseURL") + '/' + this.xml.Find("PublishName") + ".ics"; fileText = this.convertiCal(); byteArray = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(fileText); client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(this.xml.Find("Login"), this.xml.Find("Password")); stream = client.OpenWrite(fullPath, "PUT"); sWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter(stream); sWriter.Write(fileText); try { sWriter.Flush(); sWriter.Close(); } catch (System.Net.WebException err) { System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(err.Message, "Error", System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK); } client.Dispose(); this.btnPublish.Text = "&Publish"; this.btnPublish.Enabled = true; this.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Default; } thanks for the help, Rob Tomson -- There are 10 kinds of people.

exec(...) ?? MSN Messenger. prakashnadar@msn.com Tip of the day of visual C++ IDE. "We use it before you do! Visual C++ was developed using Visual C++"

I got the constant value from winuser.h, the header with most of the constants defined for the Windows Management and related APIs. You can easily find these if you download and install the Platform SDK, which does get installed by default with VS.NET (though it's not pretty old). Why is 0x00a0 an int? You've never seen this notation? It's a simple hexidecimal notation, or base16, which is 0123456789abcdef. So, 10 (a) * 16 = 160. int (Int32) is only a 32-bit number, as is 0xXXXX (four alphanumeric characters). I typically keep the hexidecimal notation that's defined with the C/C++ headers from the PSDK, though, because it makes lookups easier and lets me format my code better.
