I have the code above, if after half of the emails were sent out, there is a error in smtp, then how can I avoid resending emails or missing emails in this cases ?
My client needs to be able to perform a mass email mailout of a newsletter (just once a month). Does anyone know of any resources I can use to code this ? Its on a hosted server and im using C#. I have found one example that sends the email aynchronously, but for some reason the emails just dont get sent. I have used the same code for sending an individual email, but it wont go when sent synchronously. Heres the code im currently using
[Code]....
Ive stepped through the code on my development machine and Ive confirmed that the SendEmail Method is being executed and I have used the sendmail method to send an individual email (which works). When I deploy the code to a hosted environment, the emails dont get sent.
using vb.net and sql server 2005.I am creating a windows service and querying another type of db (not sql server) and storing the results in a dataReader.Once I have all the records what is the best and most efficient way to do sql inserts?
View 4 RepliesI'm using Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 to create a web service with VB.NET. I'm using a Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2008 so that SQL can insert all the data that I'm passing. The problem is that in one of the servicse I need to pass around 10,000 records and it's not very efficient to run the stored procedure 10,000 times.
I read that there is a way in which you can pass an XML file with all data to the Stored Procedure but I'm not sure if that's the most efficient way. Also I couldn't make the code work, I don't know if I have to pass the XML as a String. I'm asking for help with a method in which I can pass a lots of records to the stored procedure once and then the same instance of the Stored procedure can process all the records in a loop
i'm trying to send mass email to all my users. But i cannot send too many email at a time because I would be treated as spam or blacklisted, not just by my own isp, maybe the user's server too.So, initially i was thinking to write a loop and loop through the list of emails and send out batch by batch. But this would require my website to be stay opened until it finish.so, any better suggestion? i'm using my own server to relay the message before sending it out. is there email queining feature in my own mail server?
View 8 RepliesI am able to get a token with Windows Live Delegate Authentication samples provided by Microsoft.
Now I want to access emails (New, Read, Unread etc) from live account. How can I achieve it with the help of Windows Live Delegate Authentication? Are there any examples for the same?
The Samples given by Microsoft are not related to emails.
I'm looking to build a user control where the user should be able to select N number of files for upload using the same "file/explorer" dialog/control. Currently, the FileUpload control enables a user to select only one file for upload. I have seen examples where people have modified this, so that uploaded files are stored in a list to provide a "mass upload" functionality. However, the user can select only one file at a time. This is NOT what I want, the user should be able to select multiple files at a time, or select a folder with which I should be able to upload all the children images. Is there any way I can do this or has someone done this already and i'm somehow missing it?

View 19 RepliesI have a requirement where I have to transfer a user from Web Site 1 on Server A to web Site 2 on Server B.
On Web Site 1, I have to provide controls to enter user id and password and which have to be validated on Web Site 2 on server B, after validating them I have to redirect the user to Web site 2.
what is best way fo doing it. code examples are greatly appreciated.
Note: On Web Site 2, user login functionality is already existing and it is provided by ASP.Net login control, am not sure how to handle the user login process from two different places.
or is it the best way to move Web Site 2 from Server B to Server A so that, the same login controls will be shown using Iframe on Web Site A.
I've been using an asp 3.0 widget for this purpose , but it been broken for a while and rather than get it back up, I'd love o get a native asp.net solution, can any one point me in the right direction pleaseI once wrote some asp.net code to do this, but the permissions on the server, which I found to be common every where prevented asp.net native picture upload, perhaps i got it wrong, well now I wanna fix itI need the code to work in a shared hosting IIS 7 environment. I use vb.net, but can usually convert c# to vb.net
View 1 RepliesUsing Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I was used to creating a web app anytime and I would get a default page for starters and be happy. But today I find that when I pick either the ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application templates I get site.master and a bunch of site admin files that I don't want. Alternately when I select the empty versions of those templates, I get almost nothing at all. An almost empty web.config page and no Default.aspx page. There is nothing magical about having a default.aspx page in place, but it is an indicator of a change when I can only get a virtually completely empty website or a website with a bunch of bells and whistles I don't want.
Also, for some reason, when I create a new app or website as just noted, in the Solution Explorer I get aspx.designer.cs files showing as well as web.config files for both debug and release. Somehow some settings and templates must have changed, or am I missing something here? How can I get my settings/templates to go back to the way they were?
I am having a little difficulty trying to wrap my head around site structures. I have quite a large asp.net site, for which: Admins can see a user list, Each user can have many accounts, and for each account can have many items. I can picture this as a breadcrumb trail of editing a particular item. User List > Mr Bob > Accounts > BOB77 > Items > Item32 > Edit
User List = All the users Mr Bob = A user the administrator has selected from the User List Accounts = A list of the user's accounts 12BOB = The administrator has selected the account named 12BOB Items = A list of the items an account contains Item32 = The item that the administrator selected Edit = The action that the administrator wants to do. I can picture how this would look like if it was using ASP.NET MVC with the URL, but I am unsure how to map this out using Webforms, and in the physical filesystem.
This is what I have thought up about how I am guessing the physical structure would look like. Will this have to use session variables to achieve what I am trying to do?
/Users/User/Edit.aspx <- for editing a user
/Users/User/View.aspx <- for viewing a user
/Users/User/Accounts/Default.aspx <- for viewing all accounts
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/View.aspx <- for viewing an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Edit.aspx <- for editing an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Default.aspx <- for viewing all items in an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Item/Edit.aspx <- for editing an item
Where can I read more about this kind of setup in a web application? Or, can someone point me in the direction of an available project that has this kind of layout?

View 1 RepliesI have 2 sites, one the main product site the other a secure site featuring the basket and checkout processes.
When a user clicks "add item to basket" I am creating a basket in a database and then adding the items to the basket. The theory was then to store the id from the database for the basket (the basketid) in a cookie, redirect the user to secure site, use the basket id from the cookie and display the contents in the basket.
However I am having trouble getting the secure site to use the same cookie. When I redirect the users to the secure site, the basket appears empty. I need to go back to the main site and then back to secure before the cookie appears.
Here is the code for the cookie
[Code]....
And then on the secure site this is how it gets the basket ID from the cookie
[Code]....
But like I say it's having problems. I've tried replacing the cookies with session variables as well but it didn't work.

View 4 RepliesI am neither a server administrator nor very knowledgable about how to configure IIS, so I have the following problem:
My client hosts their public website from their own internal server running Server 2003 with IIS 6. The current website is a .NET 1.1 application configured as a website in IIS. Within this site a separate virtual directory configured as an application runs a separate .NET 1.1 app that serves as their online webstore.
I've been tasked with upgrading the website (not the webstore) to .NET 4 and getting it installed and working on their server. My initial plan was to simply change the existing websites home directory to the new home directory from the IIS admin console and be done, but then I read that this would break the application directory that hosts their online store because .NET 1.1 applications cannot be nested within .NET 4 applications. Can anyone confirm this?
I have an application that uses the ASPNET role provider.My SQL Server crashed so I took a backup of the database and restored it to a new SQL Server and changed the db connection string to that server.The web site runs but no users can login to the site.Is there something that I should have done when the db was on the other server?
View 6 RepliesIf I want to send an e-mail (up to 30) in response to user's action, what execution context do I do it from?
Do I do a sync call (mail server is in the same data center, so actual sending is fast)? Do I spawn a thread and send it from there? such that each user-request-to-send mail gets handled by a new thread? Do I have a background thread that handles a queue of e-mails?
The biggest issue I think, is that it is a shared web hosting. So I don't know what's a good way to install/start a windows service, or start a dedicated thread.

Learning how to do a master page in asp.net. Trying to figure out how my style sheet interacts with respects to the master page and content page. I can get HTML tags like body and the style sheet to react. But when I call the ID attribute of a label no styling takes place. What am I missing here as far as interaction? BTW I'm using VS2008
CSS sample:
body
{
height:1200px;
width:920px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:blue;
padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;
}
#toptext1
{
position:relative;
top:-225px;
right:-500px;
font-size:22px;
font-weight:bold;
}
From the master page:
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:image id="cookNookLogo" ImageUrl="images/Logo.gif" runat="server"
AlternateText="CookNook" Width="449px"></asp:image>
<p>
<asp:Label ID="toptext1" runat="server" Text="Quality Recipes, Hints and Supplies"></asp:Label>
</p>
From the content page:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/CNMasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Home.aspx.cs" Inherits="Home" Title="Untitled Page" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">
<link href="App_Themes/cn/cn.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</asp:Content>
When I was doing this without a master page it worked so where am I going wrong with the attributes?
