I am using Visual Studio 2008 Express with C#. I have been trying to get an email routine to work in the code-behind on an aspx page. All the MSDN examples, even those stated to be for .Net 3.5, do not compile. The MailMessage class has apparently changed a few times. Here is code that does compile, but this line of code, SmtpMail.Sen...

Hi I have a VS 2008 solution with around 10 projects. When I add include directories by launching browse popup and select a dir, I see VS storing the absolute path in the project file.

Hi, I have been noticing, over the last few weeks, that my installation of VS2008 keeps losing items from menus. Eg: The "Advanced" sub menu from the "Edit" menu pull down is no longer there. I am not making any changes to the application, I'm not installation anything, ever, and I never mess about with the options dialogs. This morni...
I have a website that will host many Windows Workflow 4 flowcharts and I'd like to allow an end user to double click a workflow and then launch the Workflow designer (installed as click once, or a regular app) from there. What is the lowest friction way to achieve this? Is a file association the only way? ...

I have a console app using log4net (via Castle Windsor). Everything logs fine to the console when I debug, but when I publish and run the app, nothing is logged. I have my log4net configuration in a separate file (log4net.config). I'm thinking it's not finding the config file, but that's just a guess. I'm a web dev and haven't deploye...
I am trying to set up a proper way to do automatic versioning for my C# projects in .Net. The requirements are: the assembly is to be built only when is is not up to date.

Kind of a weird question to ask on SO, but it is programming related, so hear me out! I've been looking for a few months (with no results) for a video shown at a local Visual Studio 2010 launch event.

If it helps I'm working on a C# .NET MVC 2 app within MS Web Developer 2010. ...
