send email

msomar · July 26th, 2011, 11:31 AM

I have this code :

Code:

 protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    { 
        System.Web.Mail.MailMessage message = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage(); 
        message.From = "[email protected]"; 
        message.To = "[email protected]"; 
        message.Subject = "Send Email"; 
        message.Body = "Massage Recived"; 
        System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "SMTP Server Address"; 
        System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(message); 
 
    }

But this error occured:

Quote:

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.

Help me please.

Hi there,

Maybe your server requires SSL, a user name and password, or a specific port number? You can set a number of properties on an instance of the SmtpClient. Alternatively (and easier IMO), you can configure these settings in the <system.net> element in web.config.

Cheers,

ok,
But I have no idea about this subject.
could you tell me how I configure these settings in the <system.net> element in web.config

Take a look here for an example: http://imar.spaanjaars.com/505/using...at-require-ssl

You'll need to ask your host / the admin of the SMTP server for server specific details.

What do you mean with "on ASP.NET server"? Can you elaborate?

I using localhost server.

Also for outgoing mail? What did you enter for "SMTP Server Address" in your code?

msomar · July 26th, 2011, 01:15 PM

I did like this

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "Localhost";

And do you have an SMTP server installed locally? Or is there another SMTP server (from your internet provider for example) that you can use?

If you have follow up questions, please try to explain your setup, settings and code in more detail, or this thread could get very long.... ;-)

Cheers,
