system.net.mail

hi mojos,

I created an .aspx page for my sending mail purposes, put it int the root folder.

Im wondering why mojo deosn't detect the object smtpclent in the system.net.mail namespace.

They said that web.mail is obsolete already so I use the .net.mail. It doesnt appear in my intellicense.

If I run the page It always give me an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Any suggestions please?

Thanks!

Re: system.net.mail

There is a built-in mail function in mojoPortal that you should use. See this forum post:

Hope it helps,

Re: system.net.mail

Hi,

It is true that we don't have a reference to System.Net from the mojoPortal.Web project since we wrap email methods in a helper class in mojoPortal.Net namespace which is in a different project. So in mojoPortal.Web we only need a reference to mojoPortal.Net.

If you implement your custom code in your own projects as recommended then you can add whatever references you like. I don't recommend you compiling your code into the same projects as mojoPortal.

If using an inline code file just dropped in without adding to the project do this:

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %>

but as Matt has said it is easier to use our helper method.

Note however that our helper method uses the smtp settings from the appSettings section not the ones from the system.net.mailsettings section of web.config.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: system.net.mail

thanks for the replies..

by the way.. im using the intranet settings, no internet access. so im assuming that I cannot use the yahoo or gmail settings for the smtp configuration?

do I have to configure the server's IIS and use the mojoPortal.Net? instead of the web.config.

Thanks!

Re: system.net.mail

The only way it can work is if you configure it for an smtp server that is accessible from the web server. If the web server can talk to the internet then you could use yahoo or gmail but if the web server cannot access the internet then you would have to use some other smtp server on your local network that does have the ability to relay mail to the internet.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: system.net.mail

Hi Sir Joe,

I dont think the web server can connect to the internet. Permissions on my client are so strict.

Anyway, I tried using the Mojoportal.Net;

Created on IIS the Default smtp virtual server - corporate.com

Here is my code on the aspx page I created.

I just use javascrtipt on the html module of the mojoportal under source, on click pop redirect to the aspx page;

on the aspx page - on button click,

mojoPortal.Net.SmtpSettings _smtp = new mojoPortal.Net.SmtpSettings();

_smtp.Server = "corporate.com";

mojoPortal.Net.Email.SendEmail(_smtp, "remotebanking@domain.com.ph", "email@domain.com.ph", "", "", "Test Corporate Site", "Thank you", false, mojoPortal.Net.Email.PriorityHigh);

Response.Write("success");

it doent have an error. it just print success. but I didnt receive the email

Is it advicable to create an aspx page? and have some coding after redirecting it with javascript on html module?

Iv been doing this for weeks. I need to have a page where user can upload file and the file would go to 1 recipient email.

Please help.

sori but im not totally hardcore when it comes to coding. =)

Thank you in advance

Tomas
