I used sendgrid azure to send email out using their SMTP service below. It returns no error message but the email does not send when I develop the code at Starbucks. Do you know why and what goes wrong?

public static string SendEmailByAPI()
        {
            var apiKey = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SG.PUdwvPvERBWBYtjuplC5bg.zUkpRwBfbasdfasdfdashX3frMDWxjbcv4LFUacVtD-lrORlUFkbqA");
            var client = new SendGridClient(apiKey);
            var msg = new SendGridMessage()
            {
                From = new EmailAddress("ryu@suresadfasdfco.com", "DX Team"),
                Subject = "Hello World from the SendGrid CSharp SDK!",
                PlainTextContent = "Hello, Email!",
                HtmlContent = "<strong>Hello, Email!</strong>"
            };
            msg.AddTo(new EmailAddress("ryu@suasdfasdfreco.com", "Test User"));
            var x = client.SendEmailAsync(msg);
            return "Success " + x;
        }

I want the code to look beautiful but have Bugphobia .
Let me explain my fear:I am afraid to add wired spaces to break my code I want a convention to help me make it look nice without breaking it.
this is  post request of the real code where I changed the secret fields to pseudo fields .
look how beautiful the JavaScript looks like but it's deceiving as i am going to transform all VALUES into variables later (json does not like variables).
Here is the javascript (which looks good ):

var data = JSON.stringify({
  "fields": {
    "horse_colour": "brown",
    "birth_date": "2011",
    "sire_name": "sire name",
    "dam_name": "dam name"
  }
});

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
  if (this.readyState === this.DONE) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});

xhr.open("POST", "https://breeding-portal.mystagingwebsite.com/wp-json/acf/v3/listings/726");
xhr.setRequestHeader("authorization", "Basic bG93ZXNhbGV4QGdtYWlsLmNvbTpNYXJ0eW1jZmx5MTIz");
xhr.setRequestHeader("content-type", "application/json");

xhr.send(data);

This is a working C# code using RESTSHARP (which I am looking for a pretty way to organise it READY FOR VARIABLES.(the values).

var client = new RestClient("https://breeding-portal.mystagingwebsite.com/wp-json/acf/v3/listings/726");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("authorization", "Basic bG93ZXNhbGV4QGdtYWlsLmNvbTpNYXJ0eW1jZmx5MTIz");
request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
request.AddParameter("application/json", "\t{\n  \"fields\": {\n\t\t\"horse_colour\":\"brown\",\n\t\t\"birth_date\":\"2011\",\n\t\t\"sire_name\":\"sire name\",\n\t\t\"dam_name\":\"dam name\"\n  }\n}\n", ParameterType.RequestBody);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

I am trying to use child rows datatables found at:  https://www.datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html

I have a Controller that returns my SQL View as a List:

 public ActionResult List()
        {
            MyDB DB = new MyDB();

            List<vw_Report> data = (from x in DB.vw_Report
                                                    select x).ToList();

            data = (from x in vw_Report.GetRows()
                    select x).ToList();

            return View(data.ToList());
        }

My View follows the example provided:

    @model List<master.path.Models.vw_Report>
        @{
            ViewBag.menu = false;

What does it takes to convert vb.net to c#? Is it worth the effort  . What benefits or worse situation expected?

I hope someone can help me with this. Been at this all afternoon. I'l go step by step.

1. I have a table Schedule and AuthUsersSchedule.  For each Schedule row, we can have one or more users in AuthUsersSchedule. There's a FK relationship. Looks like this.


2. There's an EDMX. I see the Scheudle table in it but the AuthUsersSchedule is a navgiation property. In the code, I can't do dbcontext.AuthUsersSchedule. Looks like this


3. I have a stored proc and I get the Schedules

var param = new SqlParameter() { ParameterName = "searchtext", Value = string.Concat('%',searchText,'%') };
var result = CurrentContext.Database.SqlQuery<SearchAssetModel>("[dbo].[usp_SearchAssets] @searchtext", param).ToList(); 

Select all Open in new window

4. I populate the Scheudle like this

 Schedule = new Schedule()
			  {
				 ID = c.ScheduleId,
				 Sched = c.Sched,
				 MasterLeaseID = c.MasterLeaseID,
                                ......

Select all Open in new window

But how do I populate AuthUsers? How do say.... give all the users in AuthUserSchedule with AuthUserSchedule.ScheduleId = Scheudle.Id.  I did this and getting errors

 Schedule = new Schedule()
			  {
				 ID = c.ScheduleId,
				 Sched = c.Sched,
				 MasterLeaseID = c.MasterLeaseID,
                                ......,
                                 AuthUsers = new AuthUser()
				  {

				 }

If it helps, this is the entire code section that I populate Schedule

I am writing an application that sends JSON data to an Azure Event Hub.
My method for sending the data looks like this
 

 
        public async Task SendDataAsync(string data)
        {
            EventData eventData = CreateEventData(data);
            await _eventHubClient.SendAsync(eventData);
        }

Select all Open in new window

The EventHubClient is created like this
 

       public DataSender(string eventHubConnectionString)
        {
            _eventHubClient = EventHubClient.CreateFromConnectionString(eventHubConnectionString);
        }

Select all Open in new window

and it is called in the application like this
           

 
            try
            {
                DataSender ds = new DataSender(_eventHubConnectionString);
                try
                {
                    Task tsk = ds.SendDataAsync(input);
                    response.Add("SendDataAsync", input);
                }
                catch (Exception taskException)
                {
                    response.Add("SendDataAsync", taskException.HResult + " : " + taskException.Message);
                }
                
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                response.Add("DataSenderError", ex.HResult + " : " + ex.Message);
            }

Select all Open in new window

I am trying to build in as much error trapping as I can.
One of the scenarios that I foresee is that the connection string used to create the EventHubClient will be incorrect.
The try/catch around the creation of my datasender will catch a badly formed connection string but if the connection string is well formed but incorrect I can't find a way to trap that.
What I find is that the SendDataAsync method runs and returns a task, but data doesn't arrive at the event hub (because the connection string is incorrect) but I can't seem to identify how to trap that.
Any advice much appreciated
