Replacing SMTP in my page

code looks ok.. Are you getting any error?

do u have the correct smptp address/port


This is wht send grid uses:

host:smtp.sendgrid.net
port:587

it would be better if you use their api's for sending emails, then you can track the emails as well whether it was delivered correctly and so on

Hi Gautham,

Thank for the advice :)

I am trying to use the sendgrid API but am having some problems.

I am using this guide:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/sendgrid-dotnet-how-to-send-email/


I've followed the guide perfectly but I get the errors:



I think I've just got myself in a muddle with my old smtp code and the new sendgrid code :(

here is the code in my email.cs file:

The old SMTP method is commented at the bottom.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;

this is how i did in one of my apps

public static bool SendEmail(string toList, string subject, string body, string fromAddress, string fromName, string apiKey)
        {
            try
            {
                SendGridMessage myMessage = new SendGridMessage();
                myMessage.AddTo(toList);
                myMessage.From = new MailAddress(fromAddress, fromName);
                myMessage.Subject = subject;

                myMessage.Html = body;
                var transportWeb = new Web(apiKey);
                var task = transportWeb.DeliverAsync(myMessage);
                task.Wait();
                return task.IsCompleted;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }

Hi,

I've tried yours but I have a simular issue:

I dont really understand it.. I have used the sendgrid references (as you can see highlighted above)

can you try adding these two nuget packages

Sendgrid.6.3.4
SendGrid.SmtpApi.1.3.1

I went a bit nuts and installed all of these..


My framework is: 4.5.2

still same error?

Yes.

"the type or namespace 'SendGridMessage' ....


What is annoying is that its my only option for sending emails using Azure!  Even MS support can't help me!

Frustrating !

I found it thanks to you!  

I was using the wrong version of sendgrid.   I downgraded my version to 6.2.4 and now the SendGridMail is available.

Thank you for all your help.
