Applying reset stylesheets to HTML using CSS

As John Meyer states: "The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on." I am using this pretty much as is. The only difference is that I have also deined my own style for “h1” styles heading, using 40px font size and red colouring: reset-css.css [code language="css"] /* http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ v2.0 | 20110126 License: none (public domain) */ html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td, article, aside, canvas, details, embed, figure, figcaption, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, output, ruby, section, summary, time, mark, audio, video { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; font-size: 100%; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; } /* HTML5 display-role reset for older browsers */ article, aside, details, figcaption, figure, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section { display: block; } body { line-height: 1; } ol, ul { list-style: none; } blockquote, q { quotes: none; } blockquote:before, blockquote:after, q:before, q:after { content: ''; content: none; } table { border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0; } h1 { font-size:40px; color:red } [/code] The html contains the reference to the css file we have defined as shown: example.html [code language="html"] <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link href="css-reset.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"> </head> <body> <h1>Hello World!</h1> <p>This paragraph is styled with CSS.</p> </body> </html> [/code] To demonstrate this example I place the two files (html + css) in the same folder. css1 To verify that the CSS styles have been applied I open the example.html file in a web browser as shown: css2

How to send an e-mail via Google SMTP using C#

First things first, some useful StackOverflow links: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9201239/send-e-mail-via-smtp-using-c-sharp https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17462628/the-server-response-was-5-7-0-must-issue-a-starttls-command-first-i16sm1806350 To demonstrate how this is done I first create a new Visual Studio project: Some example code for sending an email via a Google email account (smtp.goolgle.com) - obviously replace this with email / credentials of your own...
