The recommended (and easiest) way to get SP3 is to turn on Automatic Updates, which can automatically download SP3 when it’s available for your computer. You just need a few clicks to begin the installation and the rest of the process is automatic.

In order to install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed. These are also available when you have Automatic Updates turned on.

To learn if Windows XP SP3 is already installed

• Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

If Service Pack 3 is listed in the System section, SP3 is already installed on your computer and you don’t need to follow the instructions below.

Note

There’s no SP3 for the 64-bit version of Windows XP. If you’re running the 64-bit version of Windows XP with SP2, you have the latest service pack and will continue to be eligible for support and receive updates until April 8, 2014.

Who Should Read This Guide

This guide is intended for software architects and developers who are developing smart client applications on the Microsoft .NET Framework using Windows Forms technology.

What You Must Know

To most effectively use this guidance, you should already have experience using .NET development techniques and technologies. You should be familiar with general distributed application architecture issues, and, if you have already implemented .NET Web application solutions, you should know your own application architecture and deployment pattern.

What Is in This Guide

This guide consists of a foreword by Microsoft .NET program manager Mark Boulter and the following chapters, each of which deals with a specific issue relevant to smart clients. Each chapter is designed to be read, in whole or in part, according to your needs.

Foreword by Mark Boulter

Chapter 1: Introduction

This chapter gives a high-level description of smart client applications and describes some of their basic properties and benefits. It then discusses some of the high-level architectural issues and provides guidance to help you determine whether a smart client architecture is right for your application.

Chapter 2: Handling Data

This chapter examines the various considerations for handling data on the client, including data caching, data concurrency, and the use of datasets and Windows Forms data binding.

Chapter 3: Getting Connected

This chapter describes a number of ways in which your application can connect to and use network resources and take advantage of processing power on the client computer, and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Chapter 4: Occasionally Connected Smart Clients

This chapter discusses the issues you might face when designing and building smart client applications that are occasionally connected to the network. The chapter explains the concept of connectivity, describes the two main approaches to implementing offline capabilities, and discusses some of the things you need to consider to make your application available when offline.

Chapter 5: Security Considerations

This chapter covers the smart client security issues. Smart clients distribute logic and data to the client computer; therefore, the security concerns are different from those associated with thin a client application, where data and logic are confined more to the server. This chapter discusses data security, authentication, authorization, and the role of code access security within a smart client application.

Chapter 6: Using Multiple Threads

This chapter discusses the issues surrounding the use of multiple threads in a smart client application. To maximize the responsiveness of your smart client applications, you need to carefully consider how and when to use multiple threads. Threads can significantly improve the usability and performance of your application, but they require very careful consideration when you determine how they will interact with the user interface.

Chapter 7: Deploying and Updating Smart Clients

This chapter describes how to best use the deployment features of the .NET Framework and the Windows platform in your smart clients, and provides guidance on how to choose between the deployment and update mechanisms available.

Chapter 8: Smart Client Application Performance

This chapter discusses how to optimize performance in your smart client applications. It examines steps you can take at design time, and looks at how you can tune your smart client applications and diagnose any performance issues.

Windows Azure is an open environment that will support both Microsoft and non-Microsoft languages and environments. To build applications and services on Windows Azure, developers can use their existing Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 expertise. In addition, Windows Azure supports popular standards and protocols including SOAP, REST, and XML.

Use Windows Azure to:

• Add Web service capabilities to existing packaged applications
• Build, modify, and distribute applications to the Web with minimal on-premises resources
• Perform services (large-volume storage, batch processing, intense or large-volume computations, etc.) off premises
• Create, test, debug, and distribute Web services quickly and inexpensively
• Reduce costs of building and extending on-premises resources
• Reduce the effort and costs of IT management

To make it more difficult for someone to guess your password or prevent them from guessing it, we recommend that you create strong passwords. Doing so helps keep your accounts secure and safe from prying eyes.

For additional information about secure passwords, visit the Yahoo! Security Center. We fill out a form asking you to enter your old and new password.

Here’s how to change your password:

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page, and open the Accounts and Import tab.
3. Click Google Account settings.
4. In the new window, click Change password under the Personal information option.
5. Enter your current password and your new password.

Make sure you create a unique password to help keep someone from breaking in to your account. Here are a few tips for creating your password, and keeping it safe:

• Never tell anyone your password.
• It should be easy for you to remember without being obvious for someone else to guess.
• Never write down your password. Even though your password will look random to others, think of a way to remember it so that you don’t have to write it down.
• Change your password periodically.
• Don’t choose a dictionary word as your password. Be creative.
• Include punctuation marks. Mix capital and lowercase letters. Use numbers. A variety of characters makes it harder to guess a password.

If your password isn’t working, you’ll need to go through our password recovery process. Google Apps users, please contact your organization’s IT admin for help with password recovery.

And then fill in your details as follows:

Here are the important settings:

• Email Address: Your full gmail address
• Incoming Mail Server: pop.gmail.com
• Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com (Note: If you have problems with sending email you may have to check with your internet provider, as they often require you to send email through their system.
• User Name: Your full gmail email address

Now you’ll need to click on the More Settings… button, and check the box on the Outgoing Server tab for “My outgoing server requires authentication”

Now switch to the Advanced tab, and check the box that says “This server requires an encrypted connection”, then change the fields to match these values:

• Incoming Server: 995
• Check the box for “This server requires an encrypted connection”
• Outgoing Server (SMTP): 587
• Change the type of encrypted connection to Auto, or use TLS if you have problems.

Close the dialogs and go through the rest of the wizard and everything should be working.

First we need to make sure your Gmail account is set up to enable POP (Post Office Protocol). In Gmail just go to Mail Settings and choose the Forwarding and POP tab. Click on one of the options to Enable POP.

Update: Note the drop-down that says what to do when mail is accessed with POP3. Please do NOT change this to “Delete”.

Now open up Outlook 2007 and go to Tools \ Account Settings…

Under Account Settings choose the E-mail tab and click on New…

Enter in all of your gmail account information **make sure there is no check next to Manually configure server…** You do not have to go through these extra steps. Just click on Next.

After Outlook has successfully configured the e-mail server settings you can go ahead and click Finish.

Go back to your inbox and hit send/receive and you are done!
