I'm guessing "through" should be "throws", although, as you say, without seeing code it'd be hard to guess why.

There are three kinds of people in the world - those who can count and those who can't...

Even exceptions have to adhere to some rules...

PDF virtual printer in c# JurieBurie Just Posted

Hi All

I have a small project that someone asked me to do for them and am struggeling quite a lot to get started.

Could someone please steer me in the right direction.

Here are the requirements:

When you are in app such as word/excel, printer driver must be in printer list.

If you click on driver, dialog box must pop up with email address option & postal address option.

Then it must create a pdf file with unique name inside specific folder.

Must also create a text file which states details punched in i.e. Email or post address with same name as pdf but with dat extention

Example:
C:\pdf-app\23212345432.pdf
C:\pdf-app\23212345432.dat

The .dat contents with email & post option:
Type=email
EmailAddress=carl.vorster@gmail.co.za
Type=post
Address1=Ground Floor
Address2=Augusta building
Address3=Dimension Data Campus
Address4=132 Sloane Street
Code=2055

The .dat contents with post option:
Type=email
EmailAddress=carl.vorster@gmail.co.za
Type=post
Address1=
Address2=
Address3=
Address4=
Code=

The .dat contents with email option:
Type=email

Help with what?? You haven't said what you're having a problem with.

BTW, you're not pulling this off with a C# solution since it would be insane to try and write a driver with anything other than Visual C++.

If I create an HttpWebRequest to an Https site, using TLS. Am I guaranteed to be FIPS 140-2 compliant on all platforms? I'm fairly certain based on articles that I've found that I am on WinMobile 5/Win 32, but I have my doubts for Pocket PC 2003/Windows Mobile 2003.

Delegate

Whats the advantage of

<br />
this.Invoke(new Function(delegate()<br />
                  {<br />
                        tbInfo.Text = "Capture Complete";<br />
                  }));<br />

over this:
tbInfo.Text = "Complete"; ?

Thanks Smile | :)

Luc Pattyn17-Jun-09 2:55

Hi,

assuming this is a Control (e.g. a Form), Invoke forces the delegate to be executed on the GUI thread; Controls are not thread-safe and can only be operated upon from the GUI thread!

So if I have this for instance:

label1.BackColor = Color.Red;
doSomethingHeroic();

- which normally results in something heroic happening, but not the color changing - it will allow me to change the color without it skipping past it?

(If it doesnt mean that, then is there any reason why it does do that? In a timer tick event.)

Smile | :)

Luc Pattyn17-Jun-09 3:32

17-Jun-09 3:32

Hi,

if

label1.BackColor = Color.Red;
doSomethingHeroic();

is inside a System.Windows.Forms.Timer's tick handler (which always executes on the GUI thread), then (1) calling this.Invoke() and (2) changing a Control somehow will not show until the GUI thread gets to it, which normally is not before the Tick handler is done. You can remedy that in several ways, depending on circumstances:
- by calling Refresh() or Invalidate() on the Control;
- by inserting an Application.DoEvents() which is dangerous and an ugly hack;
- by moving long-winding operations (I assume doSomethingHeroic is) to another thread, which may well be necessary since a GUI thread should not be kept busy for more than say 30 msec in order to keep your app responsive (to user input, to other Windows uncovering it, etc).

Smile | :)

Poor man's method of writing bad code for multithreaded UI's. InvokeRequired should be checked before updating UI elements.

I cannot get the System.Net.Mail to send out an email message from my Windows application. The Try Catch reports an the error message 'Failure sending message'. What is causing the error? Below is the code I'm using.

MailAddress objFromMailAddress = new MailAddress(fromemailaddress, "Test");
MailAddress objToMailAddress = new MailAddress(toemailaddress);
MailMessage objMailMessage = new MailMessage(objFromMailAddress, objToMailAddress);

objMailMessage.Subject = "Subject";
objMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = false;
objMailMessage.Body = "Email message";

NetworkCredential objNetworkCredential = new NetworkCredential(outgoingusername, outgoingpassword, "smtp.1and1.com");

SmtpClient objSmtpClient = new SmtpClient();

objSmtpClient.Host = "smtp.1and1.com";
objSmtpClient.Port = 110;
objSmtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
objSmtpClient.Credentials = objNetworkCredential;

try
{
objSmtpClient.Send(objMailMessage);
}
catch (Exception pError)
{
}

Not so well up on the Mail namespace, but port 110 is POP3. Presumably you want port 21 for SMTP.

SMTP is port 25, not 21.
