New App and Utility

A Task Management software can have following basic features- To-do list Reminders Notes User can be provided with following options with respect to above features: Priority set for each task of To-do list. Deadlines setup for each task of To-do list. Reminders of due dates of each task. Reminders about birthdays dates and important meetings Taking notes about specific task of To-do list. Maintaining the status of each task of To-do list. In my upcoming posts I will show you how these functionalities can be implemented using C#.NET. For maintaining the database I will use MS SQL Server.

Here are the details for the classes and properties used in my previous post: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is an Internet standard for email transmission across IP networks. System.Net.Mail: It is namespace contains classes used to send e-mail to a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol server for delivery.

SmtpClient - transmit email to the SMTP host that you designate for mail delivery. Note: We can also use "Attachment class" to create mail attachment.

In my previous post I wrote about sticky notes type application. By using that application a user is able to take small notes. As soon as user closes the notes, the application saves the user notes. So next time when user again launches the application, then user is provided with his notes. Now I am adding one more functionality to this application. By using this functionality user will be able to send his notes to a specified email.  To implement this functionality we need to add following libraries in the project: using System.Net.Mail using System.Net.Mime Add a link label at the bottom of the form. On the Click event of link label write the logic for sending email.  Here is the code snippets:             SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient();  SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xyz@gmail.com", "xyz");             SmtpServer.Port = 587...

Technology: C#.NET Major components of .NET used in this app:  Windows Form Text Box control Serialization concept What is "sticky notes"? Ans: Sticky note is a simple note keeping application of Windows. It remains on the top of the every window. We can use it to write down small notes that requires frequent attention. Concept of serialization: To save the current state of sticky note we can use Serialization concept. Serialization is the process of converting an object into a stream of bytes in order to store the object or transmit it to memory, a database, or a file. Its main purpose is to save the state of an object in order to be able to recreate it when needed. The reverse process is called deserialization. Steps to create this utility: Create a Windows Form based project in IDE. Add TextBox control on the Windows form Set following properties of the TextBox control: Dock Style to Fill Multiline to True Code Snippnets: //stor...
