How to use alternate portrait and landscape orientations in a Word document

Some instructions on how to use alternate portrait and landscape orientations in a Word document. Just as a simple illustration: suppose we want to configure a 3-page Word document to have a first page with portrait-style orientation, followed by a second page with landscape orientation and then a third page that is in portrait mode once again. So our Word document is currently structured as follows: Page 1 Contains some text that is easily accommodated by the portrait page orientation: [caption id="attachment_8840" align="alignnone" width="713"]portrait and landscape portrait and landscape[/caption] Page 2 Contains text plus a table that is too wide to fit on a page with portrait orientation. This page (and only this page) we wish to change to landscape orientation in order to fit the table: Page 3 And the third page that we wish to keep as portrait again: To change page 2 to landscape without impacting pages 1 and 3, go to page 2, and select the text and table in this page: Then select the 'Page Layout' tab, followed by the small arrow next to Page Setup: Then in page setup make sure Landscape is selected, and also Apply to Selected Text: Then click OK, so that the second page is now landscape as shown:

Using the Supervisor Controller Pattern to access View controls in MVVM

As discussed on a StackOverflow post , this is considered bad practice, so only use this when necessary. Step 1: Create a new WPF project Step 2: Add event handling code A number of classes are needed for doing command bindings in MVVM. Create the following classes and add to your Visual Studio project: RelayCommand.cs [code language="csharp"] using System; using System.Windows.Input; namespace SupervisorControllingPattern { public class RelayCommand<T> : ICommand { private readonly Predicate<T> _canExecute; private readonly Action<T> _execute; public RelayCommand(Action<T> execute) : this(execute, null) { _execute = execute; } public RelayCommand(Action<T> execute, Predicate<T> canExecute) { if (execute == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(execute)); _execute = execute; _canExecute = canExecute; ...

Getting started with client-server applications in C++

Image
A demonstration of simple Internet client-server applications in C++ (Linux-based). The client application tries to connect to the remote server application using the IP address of the remote server ('localhost' or 127.0.0.1) and the server port number which defaulted to 1234. The server application listens to port number 1234 for a connection request. When the server application receives the connection request it sends the text message "Hello!\r\n" to the client.

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... I put the code within a try-catch block in order to capture any errors that may occur while attempting this. [code language="csharp"] using System; using System.Net; using System.Net.Mail; namespace EmailSmtp { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { try { // Credentials var credentials = new NetworkCredential("someEmail@gmail.com", "somePassword"); // Mail message var ...
