Marking all mail as read in Gmail

Marking all mail as read in Gmail

This took me a while to figure out, so I am writing down here to help me remember later. It may also be useful if you are playing with Gmail at all (BTW, the spam filtering on Gmail is very good).

To mark all mail as read:-

In the search box, type “is:unread”
In the select area press “All”
A link will appear that says “Select all conversations that match this search”, press it
From the drop down, select “Mark All as Read”.
Took me a while to do something that is usually option away on a context menu in most rich client mail reading applications, but this is mainly because I had thousands of unread mails to mark and so that went off the page.

Crystal Report & VS 2010 – CrystalReportViewer missing

zakariarouf — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:18:53 +0000

I’m using VS 2010 and I don’t have CrystalReportViewer in my toolbox. under Reports I only have “pointer” and “ReportViewer”. after I clicked on “show all” I see the CrystalReportViewer and few other new things but it’s not clickable (gray)
I checked on the web and I found this answer “You have to change the target framework for the project (Project>Properties in C#). By default, new WinForm/WPF projects will target the “4.0 Client Profile”…you need to change that to the full “4.0 Framework”. Then the viewer will appear.” but I don’t understand how to do that. I’m adding a screencap of what I see. (I don’t know if that’s what they meant but in new project window it says “4.0 Framework” by default)

CR for VS 2010 installer from application setup path

zakariarouf — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:59:34 +0000

The help files for CR for VS2010 can be found on http://help.sap.com under All Products > SAP BusinessObjects > CR for Visual Studio

The packages need to be placed in the same folder as the product.xml file. This solution is also mentioned in this forum post by Mandeep: CRVS2010 Beta – Error: Download prerequisites from same location as my app

1. In the following folder, you will find a product.xml file.
\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\

2. Open the product.xml file in Notepad (or any text editor) and under the section, you will find 2 URLs that point to the 2 deployment packages. Copy each URL into your web browser and manually download the packages.

3. Once the packages are downloaded, copy them to the same folder as the product.xml file (see #1 above).

You should now be able to re-build and re-publish your ClickOnce deployment.
