Simple question but I can't find the answer anywhere on MSDN...
Looking for the defaults ASP.NET will use for:
MailMessage.BodyEncoding and MailMessage.SubjectEncoding
If you don't set them in code?
I have an ASP.Net app that allows a user to write text into a Telerik RadEditor control and then send an email.
For some reason I'm sometimes getting strange characters showing up in the email that is generated.
For example if I put the word Test's into the RadEditor box and send it... the email shows up with the text changed to: Test’s.
It seems as though the ' character was used in place of ' because if I use the later, the text would show up just fine. If I pull up the saved record within the ASP.Net apps interface it looks just fine. It also appears just fine when I view the text within the recorded of the MS SQL table it was stored in.
I'm using MailMessage to create the email. I've check the string being sent at the point just before I use SmtpClient to send the message and it looks just fine at his point. Once the email message shows up however I get the strange text (Test’s).
I'm guessing that I have an encode/decoding issue but I'm not sure how I would go about fixing this.

I have tried to add it to the constructor of my email class with/without mybase but that had no effect.
Public Sub New(ByVal EmailDate As DateTime, ByVal LogoPath As String)
MyBase.New()
MyBase.BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1")
'BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1")
Me.EmailDate = EmailDate
Me.LogoPath = LogoPath
End Sub
I also tried adding it to the code behind of the form that calls the email class just before I create a new SmtpClient but that did not seem to be correct either.
Try
returnEmail.BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1")
Dim smtpCli As New SmtpClient
smtpCli.Send(returnEmail)
Catch ex As Exception
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.GetType, "smtpError", "alert('There was an error sending the email:
* " & ex.Message & "');", True)
End Try
I am try to send mail using my application with attachment, disclaimer text (as attachment) and signature. It is working fine.
But when I use a valid credentials in smtpclient, then the From address is set to NetworkCredential objects 1st param (which is an email address).
See my code snippet.

I'm trying to get a value from a series of radiobuttons to be recognized by the Mail.Body method of system.net.mail MailMessage:
private void btnSend_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("myhost-mail.myhost.net");
mail.From = new MailAddress(chumley@chum.com);
mail.To.Add(my@chum.com);
mail.Subject = "This is the Subject";
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.Body = "INFO SUBMITTED FROM: " + email.Text + "<br>" + firstname.Text +
" " + surname.Text + "<br>" + usertype.SelectedItem.Value + "<br>" + uname.Text;
lblStatus.Text = "Sending...";
SmtpServer.Send(mail);
}
radiobutton code on interface:
Contractor:<asp:radiobutton AutoPostBack="false" GroupName="usertype" Checked="false" ID="contractor" Value="contractor" runat="server" />
Supplier:<asp:radiobutton AutoPostBack="false" GroupName="usertype" Checked="false" ID="supplier" Value="supplier" runat="server" />

I am trying to make a confirmation email. The mail should contain data about the customers order.Thought the best solution was to reuse the user control from my confirmation page. But how? The following code only generates a url to the control:
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Host = "pasmtp.tele.dk";
client.Port = 25;
[code]...
Is there a way to check if SmtpClient successfully delivered an email? SmtpClient.Send() does not appear to return anything other than an exception. So if the method completes is it safe to assume the email will be successfully sent to the appropriate email box? My code is below:
MailMessage emailMessage = new MailMessage();
emailMessage.Subject = SubjectText;
emailMessage.IsBodyHtml = IsBodyHtml;
emailMessage.Body = BodyText;
emailMessage.From = new MailAddress(Settings.Default.FromEmail,Settings.Default.FromDisplayName);
//add recipients
foreach (string recipientAddress in RecipientAddresses.Split(new char[{','},StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries))
emailMessage.To.Add(recipientAddress);
using (SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient())
{
smtpClient.Send(emailMessage);
}
I have problems with encoding when sending mail using mailmessage object. it shows characters: ????
here is code:

I'm having problems with the "From". No matter what i put in, it is always getting filled out with whatever account i'm using to log into the smtp services. Here is the code.. not sure what i'm doing wrong by the examples I've looked at.

I've checked my mFrom property and it has the correct email address i'm trying to send it from.. Is the from just always filled out with the info that the email is sent from
I am trying to attach a pdf to a MailMessage, but it is not a file, rather it is a web page.
Allthough the pages respondes the PDF normaly, when I am attatching the IO.Stream to MailMessage, it is only 300B, so it cannot be opened.
This is the code:

Also I tried this one, but failed too:

I am having some problems sending emails (using gmail). I have an application that allows a user to send an email, request info, etc. I want the email "from" address to be from the initiating user. I set up the settings in the web.config for the first time. Previously, I had always set up the info directly in the code. The email is sending just fine. However, the from address shows the user name correctly but the email address in the one in the web.config.ie. "User From Name <web.config from address>". In the code, the MailMessage object shows it correctly ("User From Name <User from address>"), and the SMTPClient From address shows the web.config from address. This is going to be confusing for the recipient of the emails to see the config address with the user name.
I tried removing the From address from the config(leaving the required userIDpw for the email logon, but no difference. I also tried removing the config mail settings completely and putting it back in the code. Still no luck.
How can I get the from address to be the valid email address in resulting email?
I know I'm missing something. I'm getting this error when trying to use the script below it. The data I need comes up fine but I don't know how to get it into a loop that works for Bcc. Ideas? If a hard code a single address into bcc it works fine. If I append the body with the datatable records to see if the data is actually there, all the data expected is there.Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed.Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.Exception Details: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed.

I am trying to send an attachment using MailMessage class.
var attachment = new Attachment(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["pathToPDFs"] + pdfItem.Value);
mailMessage.Attachments.Add(attachment);
This adds the file as an attachment but when I receive the file on my email the name is
//Inetpub//Path//To//pdf//name.pdf it should be just name.pdf.
Where am I going wrong?
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["pathToPDFs"] is set as C://Inetpub//Path//To//pdf//
pdfItem.Value is name.pdf
I have 3 issues that I am attempting to resolve in development with using an aspx page to send email (both internal and external).1. Using the ddl.SelectedValue for the To email address doesn't send the email to the person, but will still cc and bcc the hard-coded recipients. If I replace the(DropListVendor.SelectedValue.Trim()) withmyemail@chuckanddons.com it sends just fine. However I need my users to be able to select which vendor to email, hence the Drop Down list for Vendor. I'll post my code below.

View 1 RepliesIn my vague understanding, any texts are transferred over the internet as streams of bytes. And when you change texts to and from bytes, you need encoding. MailMessage.Body is just a plain string(text) and it gets sent over the internet as emails. Why is it that it can correctly display Chinese characters without even having to specify the encoding?
View 1 Repliesam sending email to the users using smtp client and MailMessage class.i have been adding the addresses of multiple receivers in the to property of the object of MailMessage class. the problem is that the receiver can see the email addresses of other receipents. is there any way to hide the email addresses of other receipents.i mean setting some property or something like that.otherwise i will be left with only option to send individual email to the users.
View 4 RepliesI'm experiencing a to me mysterious error when sending e-mails through a SMTP-server from an ASP.NET web application. I get the famous error "unable to relay for xxx@yyy.zzz". What's mysterious to me is that when I cut and paste the exact same code that sends the e-mail into an usual .NET Windows Forms application, send the e-mail with this application, it all works just fine. This made me think that perhaps the problem is that the ASP.NET application runs as NETWORK SERVICE while the Windows Forms application runs on a domain user account, but it turns out that I have another ASP.NET application sending e-mail through the same SMTP-server running under NETWORK SERVER at the same IIS, and this application does not experience this problem.
I've further tried to send e-mails through the SMTP-server manually by telnet the smtp-server on port 25 and running the SMTP-protocol manually, and it all works fine. The SMTP-server is not configured with any kind of authentication or SSL.
Another mysterious fact is that the ASP.NET application can send e-mails from an adress within the same domain to an e-mail adress within the same domain, but not to any adress outside of the domain. But the Windows Forms application, that uses the exact same code, can send e-mails from any adress to any adress both within AND outside of the domain.
So to summarize:
The ASP.NET application can send
e-mails from addresses within the
domain to adresses within the domain,
but not to addresses outside of the
domain.
A Windows Forms application running
the same code on the same computer
can send e-mails from ANY address to
ANY address.
Another ASP.NET application on the
same IIS running under the same
account (NETWORK SERVICE) can send
e-mails using the same SMTP-server
from ANY adress to ANY adress.
There is no authentication configured
on the SMTP-Server.
Both the ASP.NET application and the
Windows Forms application utilizes
the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient class
to send a
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage.
The code that sends the e-mail massage is:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MailMessage mesasge = new MailMessage(txtFrom.Text, txtTo.Text, "Test mail", txtBody.Text);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
if (!(string.IsNullOrEmpty(txtUserName.Text))) //Is false since txtUserName.Text is empty
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Text);
client.EnableSsl = false;
client.Host = txtServer.Text;
client.Port = 25;
try
{
client.Send(mesasge);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
txtResponse.Text = ex.Message;
}
}
As far as I can understand, this should be a matter of configuration rather than coding issues.
Never used System.Net.Mail.MailMessage (.net 4.0), and seems to be doing something wrong.Got my mail settings configured in my web.config:
Code:

<mailSettings>

[Code]....
However it act weird in throwing an error ("The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.") as well as sending the mail...but sending it to whichever address was specified with "From".Can't set "To" (it does not have a "Set").
We have a website which we have re-designed and coded to work using System.Net.Mail but other parts of our website use System.Web.Mail We have specified the namespaces to be used in our web.config file but as we are specifying both System.Net.Mail and System.Web.Mail and they both use MailMessage it throws an error 'MailMessage' is ambiguous, imported from the namespaces or types 'System.Web.Mail, System.Net.Mail'. Is there anyway to avoid this error and still use both namespaces?
View 2 RepliesSo I have an .aspx page loading up and populating drop downs based on a lookup table in the database. What we want is for the user to be able to configure which of these values comes defaulted by specifying that value in a drop down somewhere else in the app. Now, it's easy to default the "first" value, or something like that, but we want this to act differently. Is there a JavaScript function that can run immediately after onLoad (so the drop downs are populated already), that can go through the drop down and make one of those default so it looks like the page is loading with that set as default and people don't realize the workaround? (weird masking, etc.) I'm not TOO experienced with JavaScript so something like this may already exist. Here is an example of how we add the dropdown control to the page, in case you guys even need that.
With CType(.AddControl(New Controls.ComboBox("CodeId", "../../../../CodeId", "Code")), Controls.ComboBox)
.ForceSelection = True
.ValueField = "LookupID"
.DisplayField = "LookupDesc"
.Validate.AllowBlank = False
.ForceSelection = True
.ReadOnly = EditControl.IsFieldReadOnly(10580)
.BindData(Model.Codes)
End With
I just setup an out of the box "W2K8 R2 Web" server and installed IIS 7 out of the box. Then I installed the .NET4 framework and ran "aspnet_regiis -i" command.
I created a site using .NET 4.0 Integrated app pool.
I created an MVC application using the default MVC project template, without modifying I compiled the project and deploy the files using (Publish) to the virtual directory.
I can pull the site up, but the styles are missing from the page and for some reason it routing to the /Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=/

explain what the Dynamic Data team was thinking when they designed grid sorting in Dynamic Data scaffolded tables? Sorting defaults to using all columns, in the order the appear in the model, often arbitrary very counter-productive.We've just had a run in with the 'out-of-the-box' sorting, and solved it with a simple SortExpression attribute on MetaTables. Another, even simpler solution would have been for them to avoid any sorting, allowing the DB to provide a default order based on clustered index.
