I have different web applications and I want to ask if it's advisable to create a web service to send emails through it so all my web applications will go there instead of having the Mail class or code in every web application...
View 1 Repliesi am developing a project wich sends massive amounts of emails. Lets say 200-300 emails per query. And each user can conduct multiple search querys. So at times it gets relly great number of emails to send.So this is what i need:1. a webservice with a fireAndForget type method, that i can pass in single or multiple email messages
View 1 RepliesAs indicated in the Subject, I have a web application (say APP) that should feature an e-Mail Notification Service (ENS). Activation of the Service is controlled by a Button in a dedicated page where some parameters are also included to set running Period (FromTime - ToTime), Interval, Recipients, etc.
When said button is clicked, it should maintain those parameters into database then launch ENS. Since ENS is expected to run for good according to set parameters, it logically should run as an external application/service, independent from APP.
When ENS starts, it needs to consult database to fetch parameters, then schedules its Timer to periodically check database for some transactions that when found, should trigger ENS to dispatch e-Mails to concerned Recipient(s).
CHALLENGES:
1. Launch ENS as an external application on button click from APP.Achieved by using System.Diagnostics.Process class. However, I encountered a problem in verifying if the process is already running before starting it. The root of the problem lies in
ProcessName property. Since ALL web applications must be launched via IE, hence, have
iexplore as their ProcessName, which is also applicable to all processes started through IE, it is very likely to have multiple processes utilising IE. How to check which is which? I couldn't figure out that.
Eventually, I ended up with a workaround: when the Process is started from APP, capture its ID and save it to database, then use this ID with GetProcessById() method for later verification. When the Process is terminated, reset stored ID in database.
2. What sort of application should ENS be: Windows Application or Web Application?
In either way however, ENS will always run invisible in the background being a Process. If this is the case, how about creating it as a Windows Service instead?
I did a lot of reading but still confused. However, the choice is limited now to either Web Application or Windows Service. Which one is more convenient to the task in hand?
3. What Timer to use?
I tried System.Timers.Timer in a test web application but it didn't fire! Then I used ASP AJAX Timer and it worked pretty well (I still need though to try running it from APP to judge its functionality). I came across some recommendations to use System.Threading.Timer but haven't tested that yet. Would it worth the trial?
4. ENS as a Windows Service.
If I create ENS as a Windows Service, would I be able to communicate with database? How would this influence the Timer to use?
The WCF service based component I'm looking to build will serve as a centralised resource to allow all of my websites to send/receive communications through a kind of "WCF Communications Component" hosted separately.This will hopefully improve the logging and maintenance of all comms for my suite of websites.I understand the basics of WCF and I've spent some time researching guides for architecting/building such a centralised resource but to no avail.
View 3 RepliesI have set a job in sql server 2008 to send reminder emails for product expiration. Now I want a report which will specify the list of the emails sent with the email status details like queued ,sent,delivered, failed.
I can fetch the emails that are sent by querying the like following
select * from sysmail_mailitems SM inner join sysmail_profile SP on SM.Profile_Id = SP.Profile_Id
and SP.Name ='ReminderProfile'
The problem is only getting a perfect status of email whether it is delived or failed. How I can get those status ?

View 2 RepliesA customer reported that our asmx web service is continually increasing in memory (mem usage as well as private bytes). We are able to reproduce the problem in our lab with Windows 2003 Server SP2 (fully patched) on some of the machines. The customer is using Windows 2008.
We created a Hello World web service targeting the 2.0 framework built under VS2005 SP1 and a test client that continues to call it. The memory increases steadily - approximately 40K per client request. If the test app is paused, the memory remains the same. When it is closed, the memory drops. Explicit calling of GC.Collect does not drop the memory.
We have run the memory profiler on the service and the leak is all native memory. We have uninstalled/re-installed the Framework on one of the machines but no difference. To our knowledge all of the security and IIS settings are not modified. We have compared app pool, default web site and virtual directory properties to machines that have no problem and they are identical.
I have a .net app developed in .net 4.0 version. And I implemented an asmx web service in this. Now I want to call one of the webservice method in another classis ASP application java script function.
