Question about how to send mail using Asp.net

  Asked By: Hayrah    Date: Jul 15    Category: Asp.net    Views: 5593
  

I have just read SAMs book on ASP.NET and am trying to apply it, but
it doesnt seem to have anything on sending mail. I had someone write
a routing for me last year in ASP (below) but I am not sure how to
convert it into ASP.net and particularly what objects to declare.
Here is how far I have got so far, maybe someone could give me some
more of the code!


sub send()
dim Mailer as ? = Server.CreateObject ("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
Mailer.FromName = "Dougie Shaw"
Mailer.FromAddress = "info@..."
Mailer.RemoteHost = "mail.dougieshaw.com"
Mailer.AddBcc = "dougieshaw@..."
Mailer.Subject = "Reminder" ' I need to vary this.
Mailer.BodyText = messagebody
Mailer.ContentType = "text/html"
if Mailer.SendMail then
response.write ("Mail Was Sent")
else
response.write ("Sendmail failed."& Mailer.response)
end if
end sub

it's very easy send  an email with asp.net... if you search on google for "send email asp.net" you'll get tons of resutls. Here you have one,
http://www.aspfree.com/aspnet/email.aspx

if you need something more advanced you can get AspNetEmail. You can find this amazing component @ www.aspnetemail.com

Also, you can get help on ASP.Net & Email issues @

Ive checked out some of the links and am getting some useful
results. I know now to add the system.web.mail at the top and how to
dim the object But I still have a few questions.

1. Do you need to download these things. Won't my server have an
object that can alread do it.
2. THe main problem is now I have the code below, the compiler says
BC30188: Declaration expected at the Mailfrom= "Dougie Shaw" line
when I have already declared Mailer in the previous line. WHy is
that?


<%@ Page language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" aspcompat=true%>
<%@ import namespace='system.data.oledb' %>
<%@ import namespace='system.data' %>
<%@ import namespace='System.Web.Mail' %>
<script language="VB" runat="server">

dim Mailer as new MailMessage
Mailer.From = "Dougie Shaw"
Mailer.To="dougieshaw@..."
mailer.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
Mailer.FromAddress = "info@..."
Mailer.RemoteHost = "mail.dougieshaw.com"
Mailer.AddBcc = "dougieshaw@..."
Mailer.Subject = "Reminder"
Mailer.Body = messagebody
Mailer.ContentType = "text/html"
SmtpMail.Send(mail)
if Mailer.SendMail then
response.write ("Mail Was Sent")
else
response.write ("Sendmail failed."& Mailer.response)
end if

response.write("<br><br><font size=3 color=red>sent to
day</font><br>")
response.write("<br>"& name)
response.write("<br>")
response.write(""& messagebody)
</script>

You have to put that code inside an event handler like Page_Load, or a
button click, in this way:


Sub btn_Click(sender as Object, e as System.EventArgs)

If request.form("EmailAddress") <> ""
Dim mail  As New MailMessage
mail.From = "youraddress@..."
mail.To = request.form("EmailAddress")
mail.Subject = "Message sent using ASP.NET and CDONTS"
mail.Body = "HTML Message sent from ASPFree.com using ASP.NET
and Cdonts<br><a href='http://aspfree.com/aspnet/email.aspx'>Wonder how
this is done?</a><br><br><a
href='http://aspfree.com/aspnet/setupcdonts.aspx'>Wonder How to setup
CDONTS?</a>"
mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "LocalServerName"
SmtpMail.Send(mail)
End If
End Sub

Then when you define the button (<input>) you should use
OnServerClick="btn_Click" or if you use a Button webcontrol
(<asp:Button>) define the OnClick event handler

Definitely making progress here!

Its in the event handler, I have text boxes to submit to it, all the Mail. Tags work now.

The error I get now is BC30188: Declaration expected

At the line that says SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "LocalServerName"

I havent get downloaded the aspfree component for the simple reason that I am not at the server, its in the office and its 9pm so the guy to do it wont be in till the morning. Will it work without this?

 
Answer #5    Answered By: Wendy Harrison     Answered On: Jul 15

aspfree doesn't have any component... I was just refering to one of his tutorials to send  mail...
The smtp server property is the name or the ip of the smtp server (self-descriptive property I think ;). Just don't set that property and the local IIS smtp server would be used. If you want to use another smtp set that property (for instance mail.myisp.com)

 
Answer #6    Answered By: Noah Evans     Answered On: Jul 15

I just changes this property
Mailer.To="francisxavaz@..."
Mailer.From="sakthivel.atwpdc.com"
It isnt working!!!What else do I need to do in the
Code
to send  a mail.

 
Answer #7    Answered By: Candace Foster     Answered On: Jul 15

Can you show us all the code and errors. Have you specified a SMTPSERVER property value (either Netbios or DNS name)?

and the err Comes BC30188: Declaration expected.

Answer #10    Answered By: Pam Harrison     Answered On: Jul 15

Your smtp server should not be a share name but rather either a NETBIOS or DNS name i.e. NETBIOS :MYSMTPSERVER ß-> DNS: Mailserver.MYdomain.Com
