The projects business is on and how come they won't complete when people like u
and Charles are there for prompt help, Cheers, by the way as u did mention about
the previous projects, I did came across a few controls as:

a) If your application requires any type of graph, refer to the control u can
download form  this link: http://www.advsofteng.com
b) I had to build an application, where I had to open a telnet session to a
router and run some command and process the output with some dam strings along
with their comparison with a table, I used a control ftp control from Mabry,
www.mabry.com and it worked real well.
c) I had to develop  a net  Speed Meter type thing located at
http://www.zajil.net/speedometer.asp , I used Dart FTP control, excellent
performance, is available from www.dart.com
d) I was developing an application to send intimation emails and a small list
server type application was built and I used Mabry SMTP control, high speed ,
multi parts emails are piece of cake with it.
e) Recently I got a project  to develop webmail and we are planning to use a dot
net control EasyMail.net form www.quiksoft.com to develop, hope it will keep my
team busy for some days ands will bother list  then.

Su mentioned that u can make VD in C not in VB, can u please paste some
core code which is actually doing this as may be someone from list can help me
to convert it in VB.Net
