Im about to develop a site which will need 2 types of email function: the first will be simple enough, just a realtime email using system.net.mail when certain conditions are met in the underlying DB. the second is to send out an email at the end of each day covering everything that happened during the day. WOuld that have to be set up as a scheduled task?
View 3 RepliesThe host I use for our site lets us schedule a task, we can pointo the site and a file on the site. I'm not clear on how to make the file I point to actualy do something like run a stored procedure or send and smtp email or run some code in my app.

View 3 Repliesi bought a hosting plan that allows me to send about 500email/per hour but my client wish to send about 2000 or 3000 email at a time. is there a way to split them and 500 email per a time automaticly without the need of reloging again every hour. my hosting plan doesn't allow me to create a sql jop or send mails via Sql Server.
View 6 RepliesI have a asp.net web site, I would like a page on that site to be able to invoke a Windows Scheduled task or a batch file on a server different to the IIS server?
Is it possible?
As 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?

View 1 RepliesNeed a way to write in c# something that we can query access database and send out individual emails using 3 seperate templates based on the users selection. basically users have been signing up to receive an email later in the year.. there are 3 possible email templates that are designed and will be sent based on what the user selected. So when the time comes, we need to take and query the access database and send an email to the user with the template they picked.
I see alot of software packages, but cost more than what we can spend(no budget), so we need something simple and free that can be scheduled to send on certain day and time. Or if there are any tutorials on creating something to do this, doesnt need to be fancy
I have a web service that I have successfully published locally several times through VS2008. When I attempt to publish this service through VS2010, a dialog window is displayed where you must enter a 'Service URL' and 'Site/Application.' The service URL is not a problem, but what do I enter as a 'Site/Application?'
My entries are as follows:
Service URL: http://localhost/gfIDSProxyAccess/Service1.asmx
Site/Application: localhost/gfIDSProxyAccess
I also tried localhost, gfIDSProxyAccess, www.gfcpa.com, gfcpa.com, www.gfcpa.com/index.html and localhost/gfIDSProxyAccess/Service1.asmx, with and with and without the http://.

I have a feedback form that should send an email to the site Admin. This is just on my laptop in development stage and not on a server, but I think it still should function with my personal email account settings, shouldn't it? Everything seems to work fine - there are no error messages. But no emails are received in my testing.

How is it possible to "auto call" a website when an email is opened?
For example, some mail marketing campaign sites offer services to track email clicks and when an email gets opened.
I don't know exactly how they manage to find out when an email gets opened irrespective if they clicked on an link within the email to track clicks.
How does one do this, so when an email gets opened, a silent call is made to a page in the background to indicate that the email has been opened?
When the member comes back to the site after verifingt the new email address, I need to check if he/she is logged on ( ie cookie is active) to the site for redirection. And If he/she is not logged on maybe log them on then redirect

View 3 RepliesI have a hosted site and just added some additional error notification to my global.asax file and works like a charm. I decided to add the same logic to our test server and it doesnt work. The server.transfer never happens and the email never gets updated. Now i know the email works on the test and production server since we have other pages that use the same SMTP server name and setup as i have in the global file. Below is my code as it is in the file now. I setup a test page to cause an error and the page displays the detailed error which we dont want. But i would like to be notified if this happens. What am i missing? I can only assume that its a IIS confige issue, since the exact same code works on a hosted site, but not at work on our test or production servers. Here is the code i have in the global.asax
