Hi folks! I'm having a little problem and I'm a bit confused about it.

Windows API). I started working using C# but since I've got to access the
API constantly I'd rather write all low-level stuff in C++ and ...

I have a project that I have upgraded from VC++.Net 2002 to 2003.  It worked fine under 2002.

Please forgive the question if the answer seems obvious, but I am new to
.Net and not having a fun time with it. I have built an XML DOM document
(XmlDocument)  using the appropriate classes from the framework. Now I want
to send it to an exchange server, how do I do this? with VC++ ...
