Web Forms :: Opening An Outlook .msg Format Email From Webpage?
Nov 22, 2010
I have a web page, that has lists of documents for a user to look at. I have the page working to allow a user to view any of the documents when they click the link. The only thing that wont work is a document that is .msg format for Outlook emails. I did some research and found that in order to get Outlook to open the document when opening a .msg document, you have to add the MIMEType application/vnd.ms-outlook to the list of MIMETypes that IIS will accept. I gave this a shot but still couldn't get it working.
Then what I tried was to output the MIMEType associated with a .msg when I was Saving the document so I could see what it was using. When I did this I got "application/octet-steam" So then I set the .msg extention to use octet stream. This allowed the document to be open, but used Notepad which then had really messed up formatting because of the email headers etc.
Does anyone know how I might get outlook to open up and show the email when a user clicks to view that document as opposed to Notepad?
An ASP.NET application (actually with Silverlight but it doesn't matter) is hosted in Outlook as folder home page. In this application there's a link to open popup window, which opens a separate IE window, not in Outlook.
The problem is that in this case it seems that ASP.NET session is lost. A call to ASP.NET service has nothing in Session and Session._id is different. I suspect that Outlook has different cookies than IE.
How do I preserve session when opening IE popup from Outlook? Maybe pass session id via URL somehow, or configure this in web.config?
I wanted to open Outlook clinet from the web on buttonclick. (on local it works fine but on server it does not). I can send email through smtp but i need to open the outlookClient on button click.. :(
Outlook.Application oOutlook = new Outlook.Application(); Outlook.MailItem _Mailitem; Outlook.NameSpace _NS = oOutlook.GetNamespace("mapi"); _oMailitem = (Outlook.MailItem)oOutlook.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem); _oMailitem.To = "abc@yahoo.com"; _oMailitem.Subject = "Email Integration with Outlook"; _oMailitem.HTMLBody = sb.Tostring(); // here i am creating HTML File _oMailitem.Display(true);
My sb.ToString text contains the link to the images i.e <img > tags etc which are included as inline attachment. I tried to use MailTo link but I could not Attach attachment to it.
var emailReg = /^w+([.-]?w+)*@w+([.-]?w+)*(.w{2,3})+$/;
This is my regular expression . it accepts the email such as name.name_@__domain.in How can i format my regular expression which accepts only a valid email format only. I need the email validation for above example.it is not a duplicate one.
I am trying to send an email from our web server to a gmail account via System.Net.Mail but am failing miserably receiving this error message:
Mailbox name not allowed. The server response was:
that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Using this code I am able to send emails to other email addresses on our Outlook email server:
[Code]....
So I know I am capable of sending email to Gmail with port 587 and using the proper credentials of my own Gmail account. That is not the problem.
The problem is I want to be able to have the mail sent from my application from whatever the user puts in the FROM (Email address): text box to a Gmail account. When I use the above code, the address that the email is sent from is my own.
So the question is: Is there any way to configure this to be able to send from an Outlook email server to a Gmail account without having to use my Gmail account to actually do it (using my credientials). Therefore showing the email as sent from whatever the user puts in the txtEmail text box, and having it sent from the Outlook server?
I know my SMTP uses the port 25 for outgoing mail and I am pretty sure that the Gmail settings block port 25 for incoming mail, which makes sense, but what doesnt make sense is I can compose a message in Outlook and send it to a gmail account, but I cannot automate this through my programming, which makes me feel certain its my programming.
Is this possible. I need to drag emails from outlook onto a webpage. Possibly onto a Gridview or some other control. Then I need to break up the email subject, body etc and save the information in a database table.Please point me to some good examples.
I have a website (ASP.net MVC2) where a database stores data/times of events. I want a client to be able to log in and sync these items to their Outlook. Is this at all possible? I've had a look around but haven't found anything useful, other than this isn't possible in javascript as that would open up all sorts of security holes snooping through users' registrys... If not, I may have to look into basic alternatives such as downloading xml documents with the event details.
I am building a site which allows people to upload excel files to a secure D: on the IIS server. I am using the impersonate function (with username and password in webconfig) to allow people to save the files to the secure
Can someone point me in the right direction how I can then allow users to retireve / open these files? I have tried :
have code on a web form -- when you hit the button "send emails", it executes this sub which reads an SQL database table and sends emails one by one -- however I get this error above -- anyway to check it and skip to the next email? Some emails in my table have name@test.co.il for example, so it seems this causes this error.
I am trying to create an outlook appointment from an ASP.NET web site version 2.0. I am making use of the interface Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook to create the appointment. But my exact requirement is to display the body (description) of the appointment in HTML format (which includes images, links etc) instead of plain text. The only methodI can see in the appointmentItem is 'body'. This method only writes the plain text not the formatted HTML body. So is there any alternate approach to format the description (body) of an appointment?

How can we add a web page or a Windows Forms to the Outlook mail so that when I send a mail to a person he/she should be able to enter the data in the controls on the mail form? The user should also have the ability to save the data directly from the mail, instead of opening my web or a Windows application and update the data.
I have an asp.net / C# page which takes a comment, and then emails that comment. Sometimes when the user enters "&" in the comment, the comment is being truncated. So for example if the comment is "test & test" the email only sends out "test ".
I have tried HttpUtility.HtmlEncode - but it looks like the issue is on the outlook side and not on the C# side.
I am working on an ASP.NET project where we are updating all of our websites to support Unicode values. In one place, we are allowing users to enter their email address as Unicode. I use the following code snippet to display the "mailto" address hyperlink:
When I click on this link, it opens Outlook, but the email address displays as garbage text. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?From what I have heard, currently, email addresses only support ANSII characters, but Unicode characters are coming; That is why we are taking this step.

a couple weeks ago, my ASP.NET website stopped sending user comments which I implemented by emailing those comments to my email account through Gmail SMTP server [URL]. I opened the project on my development machine and again it fails to send the email after a couple minutes with the following exception message:
Failure sending mail
Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed.
I'm using Gmail's SMTP with port 465, and MailClient.EnableSSL = True.
The weird thing is my Office Outlook 2007 is using the same settings and it doesn't have any problems sending mail using the same Gmail account.

I want to print a web page using javascript. But I do not want to open the page as a popup windows. How can I print directally a web page like 'mypage.aspx' using javascript window.print method without opening it as a popup window?

I have a WebApplication1 running in a port (let's say 4000) and I'm trying to build a website (WebSite1), running on IIS, that is running on the same server. I have no control over the WebApplication1, it's a packaged software, WebSite1 is built by me.
The WebSite1 will do a custom user validation and then will let the user access the WebApplication1:4000 under the impersonated user under which the website is running, not the user in the client machine. Sort of like changing the user in the session.
but this doesn't seem to work.Should I change my headers in the .ashx to server image headers? Can this work using this method?
I emailed myself with an email, other images displayed properly. There was no log in the database for the handler (the handler logs all requests to the db). Calling the URL to the file in the browser logs to the db, so its working.
when I save the file that is returned by Handler and try to open it I get the following message:"The file you trying to open, 'Users.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupt and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" How to fix this? Here the code of the handler:
