  1. Al salamo alykom,
    Hi Mohammed how are you,
    Great to have a target to achieve, great to insist on, but not great to make your target to be another Microsoft fan!!

    I don’t hate Microsoft, or love it, But Technology != Microsoft any way.

    Try to look outside Microsoft’s circle, there is yet another world.
    What i get annoyed from some of friends who are MS fans that, they don’t see more or less than Microsoft. but again, there is a garden world outside MS barriers. Just try to discover that world.

    Best Wished from Egyptian, arabic, Moslem brother,

    Have fun.

  3. Thanks, Hwedy
    You were so great
    But, I don’t prefer Microsoft all the time.
    I think Microsoft is taking the approach “pay-as-you-go,” and I hate that approach.
    I love Linux too much, also I prefer some other Microsoft products.
    But, sure I’m a great fan of Microsoft, and of course other technology industries

    1. Please provide more details (e.g. InnerException).

      This should work fine:

      private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        SmtpClient server = new SmtpClient();
        server.Credentials =
            new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xxxx@gmail.com", "password");
        server.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
        server.Port = 25;
        server.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        server.EnableSsl = true;
        server.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;

        MailMessage message =
            new MailMessage("xxxx@gmail.com", "yyyy@rediffmail.com");
        message.Body = "i love u";
        message.Priority = MailPriority.High;
        message.Subject = "my own mail ide";

        server.Send(message);
    }
    catch (SmtpException SE)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(SE.ToString());
    }
}

      1st. You you should set the SmtpClient.DeliveryMethod to SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network

      2nd. Never ever catch Exception, ApplicationException, or SystemException. You should handle that specific exceptions.

  12. I have a question about your SimpleRec for C#.  I can run the sample on one of my Win 7 Ultimate computers but not the other.  I get the following error: No wave device is installed that can record files in the current format….”  I uninstalled all my audio devices and reinstalled.  I have applied all Microsoft updates and Dell BIOS, etc…updates.  Any thoughts why this may be occuring?
