Untrue it checks the files within the zips and blocks the attachment only if an unsafe file is contained within.

I email myself zip files or projects all the time, but I have to exclude any executables.

Hi,

in my experience it is sufficient to modify the extension, gmail doesn't mind a ZIP that contains an executable called TEST.EXF (nor an unpackaged TEST.EXF).

No. I just checked: Gmail attachments[^]
GMail will not accept .ZIP files, unless you rename them.

Incorrect,

The source link you quoted wrote:
In Gmail, you can't send executable files (.exe, .cmd) or ZIP archives that contain executables. To bypass this limitation, you need to rename the file and change its extension (don't forget to mention this to the person that receives your mail).

So zip's can be used, but cannot contain executables.

I did notice that, but since gmail is complaining and his file is well under the 10MB limit, I felt pretty certain his .ZIP did. You were right though - I should have mentioned it. D'Oh! | :doh:

The problem is the extension not the file size. Gmail detects within your zip contains an executable file which is unsafe to send over an email for obvious reasons.

To bypass this rename your zip extension to something customer (myzip.ggg) and have the recipient rename the extension back to .zip.

mail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(@"c:\1.zip",MediaTypeNames.Application.Zip));

Also, don't specify the Application.Zip.

Hey All,

I was just wondering if it's at all possible to update/add extra functionality to my applications using DLL's? I haven't done this before, and haven't found an answer to this elsewhere. Does anybody know anything about this?

Thanks,

[Urgent] How to detect a timezone observes DST time or not ( .Net Framework 2.0)

senorAli3311-Jul-09 23:29

Hi bros,
Is there any way in C# (C/C++) to detect a timezone observes DST time or not.
For example: with timezone GMT+7, it does not observe DST; timezone GMT-6 observes DST time.
Anyone knows please help me.
Many thanks,
SA.

Try MSDN for TimeZoneInfo.IsDaylightSavingTime

If the time zone represented by the TimeZoneInfo object does not support daylight saving time, the method always returns false.

You may have to jigger with it to check a date / time combo that would be in DST if the time zone did support it.

Thanks for your answer.
I've had a look at TimeZoneInfo but is only for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5 or higher. My current application is in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/.NET Framework 2.0. It's my pain Frown | :(

. I'm sorry not include the version of .Net framework in my question
Is there any other way?.

To d@nish: Please have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timezoneinfo.aspx[^]
.Net 2.0 does not have timezoneinfo class.

Thanks for your answer, but the method IsDaylightSavingTime is only used to indicate whether the specified date and time is within a daylight saving time period or not. It does not tell me the current timezone observes DST or not.
I want to find a way to indicate if a timezone observes DST or not. If it does then I will use the method indicating whether the specified date and time is within a daylight saving time period IsDaylightSavingTime to check for the date/time and adjust date time depend on the current time is DST or none-DST.
Hope to have your help.

IMAPI v2

I posted a while back about how to make ISO files or burn them to a cd-rom. I see that this is possible with IMAPI. Although I have read the articles about it here on codeproject, I still feel it is over my head. I was wondering if anyone knew of any books that went through this and taught you. It seems a lot of the books I see are the basics and thats it.

In my classes we learned nothing that would get me a job pretty much. I have learned everything I know from books. Heck out of my three C# classes I didn't even touch basic threading. Anyways, I'm interested in learning how to use CD-ROMs (burning, copying, etc), and was just wondering a good place to start.

Not sure, but here's the pattern I use for such things:

[
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImportAttribute
    (
        "User32"
    ,
        SetLastError=true
    ,
        EntryPoint="FindWindow"
    )
]
private static extern System.IntPtr
API_FindWindow
(
    string lpClassName
,
    string lpWindowName
) ;

public static System.IntPtr
FindWindow
(
    string WindowName
)
{
    return ( API_FindWindow
    (
        null
    ,
        WindowName
    ) ) ;
}

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
