Question

ASP.net Email Errors

Asked by: Albee_J

I closed out a question. But failed to test the code fully.  I am sure it is 'my' syntax error and not the suggested code.  Can you please check the below code and see where I went wrong?  

The data is being inserted into the database, but the emails aren't sending.  (I've *** the emails for privacy reasons)

<script language="VB" runat="server">

        lblDateRequested.Text = String.Format("{0:d}", rightNow)
              
        myConnection = New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Server=FMASQL;database=ITProjects;User ID=WebDept;Password=***")

If you debug the code do you get an exception in the sendmail function and return false or does it happily go  through the function ok and just not send?

No errors,  it seems to go through the function ok, and insert the data. Just doesn't send any emails...

 

by: Mk3890Posted on 2008-02-22 at 09:10:23ID: 20959335

When you created your MailMessage object in this case mail you never assigned it the values you passed to the function...

Replace

Dim mail As New MailMessage()

With

Dim mail As New MailMessage(sendFrom, toEmailId, messagesubject, sendBody)

Hope that helps.

Is this while you testing?  I've noticed that sometimes when I'm in VS2005 I have to actually close out VS2005 before it will send the emails.  But only sometimes.  It's a bit odd but I haven't bothered to track it down because it's not that big an issue with me.

Mk3890:  

I implemented your change and I get this error:

"The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address."


ICINTRACOM:

I haven't had that problem before.  It quit sending when I implemented some new code to handle different versions of an email to be sent.

My code for email that I normally sent that worked is:

        'set the email variable    
        Dim mail As New MailMessage()
        Dim PT As String = " <a href=""http://appserv1/ProjectTracker/Login.aspx"">Go to Project Tracker</a> "
        Dim emailBody As String = "A New Project Titled: " & " " & txtProjectTitle.Text & " " & "has been assigned to you. <br /><br/>  "
        emailBody += "please check the Project Tracker website for details." + PT
        Dim worker As String
        worker = txtWorker.SelectedItem.ToString
        
        'set the addresses
        mail.From = New MailAddress("w***")
        mail.To.Add(worker)
        mail.Bcc.Add("j***")
        
 
        'set the content
        mail.Subject = "New Project Assigned"
        mail.Body = emailBody
        
        'Send the email in html format
        mail.IsBodyHtml = True
        
        'Set the priority - options are High, Low, and Normal
        mail.Priority = MailPriority.High
        
        'send the message
        Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("192.168.0.37")
        smtp.Send(mail)

Either your to or from email address is not valid it would seem...

Did you change them back from J***** to and actual email address?

 

by: Mk3890Posted on 2008-02-22 at 09:30:31ID: 20959505

Oh you put the variables in the wrong order change....

eMailSent = SendMail(myUserEmail, myMessageSubject, SendMessageBodyUser, mySenderEMail)

to

eMailSent = SendMail(mySenderEMail, myUserEmail, myMessageSubject, SendMessageBodyUser)

make sure you do it on the second one as well

 

by: Albee_JPosted on 2008-02-22 at 10:01:52ID: 20959748

Ok. Let me implement, test and advise. :)

 

by: Albee_JPosted on 2008-02-22 at 10:07:01ID: 20959795

I made the changes and I am still getting the same error:  'Check revised code below'

Yes I changed all the **** back to the real address prior to testing

Put a breakpoint on smtp.Send(mail) and check what the values are for the mail object most specifically "To" and "From"

 

by: Albee_JPosted on 2008-02-22 at 11:28:59ID: 20960533

I know how to set the breakpoint but how do I run it.  Just run the application?  I tried that and it stops before the break at the same line of code

Dim mail As New MailMessage(sendFrom, toEmailId, messagesubject, sendBody)
       

 

by: Mk3890Posted on 2008-02-22 at 11:56:00ID: 20960818

Yea set it on the line where you create the MailMessage

 

by: Albee_JPosted on 2008-02-22 at 12:02:28ID: 20960883


Ok I commented out this section:

   'This will send message 1
        'eMailSent = SendMail(mySenderEMail, myUserEmail, myMessageSubject, SendMessageBodyUser)
        'If eMailSent = False Then
        'email was not sent escape
        'End If

And it sends the email, apparently it dosen't like the suggestion I was given to pull the email address in which was to change my query to this:

SELECT RequestorID, FirstName + ' ' + LastName +  '(' + Email + ')'  AS Requestor FROM tblRequestor ORDER BY FirstName

Then I called it in like this:

  Dim Requestor As String
        Requestor = txtPreparedby.SelectedItem.ToString

Which was giving me Username(emailaddress)

Also, the email that I did get for the "Boss" side lost all of its formatting and came through the email like this:

A new project has been submitted!<br /><br/>  Vicki, a project needs to be assigned  <a href="http://appserv1/ProjectTracker/ProjAdminAssign1.aspx">Go to Project Tracker</a> <br /><br/><b>Form Information </b> <b>Prepared by:</b> **(**) <br /><br/><b>Project Title:</b> Application Test <br /><br/><b>Objective:</b>none <br /><br/><b>Scope:</b>none <br /><br/><b>Justification:</b>none <br /><br/><b>Requested Completion Date:</b>03/15/2008 <br /><br/><b>Project Sponsors:</b><br /><br/><b>Specifications:</b>***r(***) <br /><br/><b>Obstacles:</b>***k(***) <br /><br/><b>Testing:</b>***(***) <br /><br/><b>Sign Off:</b>***(***) <br /><br/><b>File Location:</b> <br /><br/>


 

 

by: Albee_JPosted on 2008-02-22 at 12:04:00ID: 20960897

Ok I figured out the format, I forgot to add:
'Send the email in html format
            mail.IsBodyHtml = True

 

by: Albee_JPosted on 2008-02-22 at 12:14:26ID: 20960983

i still need to figure out how to call the email address into a dropdown list correctly, this isn't working


SELECT RequestorID, FirstName + ' ' + LastName +  '(' + Email + ')'  AS Requestor FROM tblRequestor ORDER BY FirstName

Then I called it in like this:

  Dim Requestor As String
        Requestor = txtPreparedby.SelectedItem.ToString

Which was giving me Username(emailaddress)

 

by: Mk3890Posted on 2008-02-22 at 14:45:39ID: 20962321

I'm slightly lost now, are you trying to bind the email address to the DropDownList or retrieve it from the DropDownList?

 

by: Albee_JPosted on 2008-02-25 at 06:51:10ID: 20975778

I was trying to bind it to the dropdown list so the user can choose their name from the dropdownlist and I would also have access to their email address in order to send them a confirmation email.

I was given the below solution to accomplish that. However, the format it puts out is not accepted when I try to send the email.    For now I am just binding the email address field to the dropdownlist.  But I would rather the user to be able to select their name, not their email address from the dropdownlist.

SELECT RequestorID, FirstName + ' ' + LastName +  '(' + Email + ')'  AS Requestor FROM tblRequestor ORDER BY FirstName

Then I called it in like this:

  Dim Requestor As String
        Requestor = txtPreparedby.SelectedItem.ToString

Which was giving me Username(emailaddress)
