iwdu15,

A trick to find things about API's just use this Google part. For API's I
would add the names of Herfried or the name Mattias. Names which I surely
would not add for any data or webform question. If you are longer active
here you learn very well the names to add.

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb/search?group=microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb&q=mattias+sendmessage&qt_g=1&searchnow=Search+this+group

I hope this trick helps something,

Cor
