C# – Using ScrollBars in .Net

cnetwinforms

Is there any way to Use the Builtin ScrollBars that comes with each .Net ScrollableControl without setting the AutoScroll Property to Enable?
Here is the issue, even If I Enable, set to Visible and declare min and max values as well as the smallChange and LargeChange for the HorizontalScrollBar and VerticalScrollBar they show up in the borders of the Control but they are useless. When clicked the thumb doesn't moves and the Scroll Event of the control doesn't bring any usefull information when scroll is clicked ( OldValue and NewValue are both 0)
This is how I tried to set up the Scroll Bars Values:

        HorizontalScroll.Enabled = true;
        HorizontalScroll.Value = 80;
        HorizontalScroll.Minimum = 0;
        HorizontalScroll.Maximum = 300;
        HorizontalScroll.SmallChange = 2;
        HorizontalScroll.LargeChange = 4;
        HorizontalScroll.Visible = true;

(And did the same thing to the Vertical Scroll)

Any ideas? or do I have to add to new ScrollBars by myself to my control?

Well I couldn't find a way to reuse the same ScrollBars integrated with each Net Scrollable Control. Finally I made my own Scrolls and very Important ... override the AutoScroll Property if it is a Control someone else is going to reuse.

 public override bool AutoScroll
        {
            get { return false; }
            set
            {
                if (value)
                    throw new Exception("Auto Scroll not supported in this control");
                base.AutoScroll = false;
            }
        }

C# – Sending email in .NET through Gmail

Be sure to use System.Net.Mail, not the deprecated System.Web.Mail. Doing SSL with System.Web.Mail is a gross mess of hacky extensions.

using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;

var fromAddress = new MailAddress("from@gmail.com", "From Name");
var toAddress = new MailAddress("to@example.com", "To Name");
const string fromPassword = "fromPassword";
const string subject = "Subject";
const string body = "Body";

var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
    Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
    Port = 587,
    EnableSsl = true,
    DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
    UseDefaultCredentials = false,
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword)
};
using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
{
    Subject = subject,
    Body = body
})
{
    smtp.Send(message);
}

Additionally go to the Google Account > Security page and look at the Signing in to Google > 2-Step Verification setting.

If it is enabled, then you have to generate a password allowing .NET to bypass the 2-Step Verification. To do this, click on Signing in to Google > App passwords, select app = Mail, and device = Windows Computer, and finally generate the password. Use the generated password in the fromPassword constant instead of your standard Gmail password.
If it is disabled, then you have to turn on Less secure app access, which is not recommended! So better enable the 2-Step verification.

C# – How to escape braces (curly brackets) in a format string in .NET

For you to output foo {1, 2, 3} you have to do something like:

string t = "1, 2, 3";
string v = String.Format(" foo {{{0}}}", t);

To output a { you use {{ and to output a } you use }}.

Or now, you can also use C# string interpolation like this (a feature available in C# 6.0)

Escaping brackets: String interpolation $(""). It is new feature in C# 6.0.

var inVal = "1, 2, 3";
var outVal = $" foo {{{inVal}}}";
// The output will be:  foo {1, 2, 3}
