Failed to get link in e-mail on signup

Ajoy · August 26th, 2007, 05:03 AM

Hi Imar
My send() method is working and I can send whatever message I want to send to my user. But using send()method, how can I pass the following info to the user's email so that my user can click on the link(highlighted) and my database will authenticate him as a genuine user and allow him to move on.
This code you have already given but how is it possible to incorporate into send() method to send the following info to user ?

Welcome to the Appointment Booking System,

Before you can use the application, you'll need to confirm the existence of your email address.
To do this, click the following link:
http://localhost:1837/AppointmentBoo...9-3b1f95fce4d2

Right after you confirmed your address, your account will be activated and you can start booking apppointments.

Kind regards,

The Appointment Team

I think I am now quite specific to the problem. Please bear with me.
I am very new in this field.

Thanks and regards

Isn't that exactly what my previous message describes??

1. Read in mail body using System.IO.File
This way, you get the mail body from the file called OptInEmail.html that already contains the relevant placeholders. For example:

Code:

Dim filePath As String = Server.MapPath("~/StaticFiles/OptInEmail.html")
Dim mailBody As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(filePath)

2. Replace values in body using Replace
Page 340 and 341 describe this in full detail.

3. Create a new MailMessage object and assign To, From, Subject and Body properties
Page 198 and onwards describe this in full detail.

4. Send the MailMessage using the Send method of the SmtpClient.
Again, this is shown on page 198 and onwards.

What exactly is not clear about this list? For what parts fo you need help?

Hi Imar,
I am repeatedly telling that I am new in this field. Really, I could not guess so much from your previous brief hints due to my lack of knowledge and for that I am extreamely sorry. Your next explanation has definitely cast some light on my further approach. Thanks a lot for your effort. Let me give some time to read and grasp the whole idea and implement it according to your valuable suggestion. Hope it will definitely work. I will be in touch with you shortly.

Thanks .

(This is also my very first entry into a forum)

So please bear with me.

Thanks again.
Regards.

No problem; I completely understand that. That's why I also added references to page numbers so you know where to look for more information.

Yes !!! I got it. Thank you very very much Imar !!! What a relief !

Here is what I have done finally based on your fantastic guidance .

================================================== ===================

Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_SendingMail(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.MailMessageEventArgs) Handles CreateUserWizard1.SendingMail
        e.Cancel = True

        Dim myfilePath As String = Server.MapPath("~/StaticFiles/OptInEmail.html")
        Dim mymailBody As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(myfilePath)
        Dim sc As New Net.Mail.SmtpClient()

        sc.EnableSsl = True

        mymailBody = mymailBody.Replace("##Id##", Membership.GetUser(CreateUserWizard1.UserName).Pro viderUserKey.ToString())
        mymailBody = mymailBody.Replace("##UserName##", CreateUserWizard1.UserName)

        Dim applicationFolder As String = Request.ServerVariables.Get("SCRIPT_NAME").Substri ng(0, Request.ServerVariables.Get("SCRIPT_NAME").LastInd exOf("/"))

        mymailBody = mymailBody.Replace("##FullRootUrl##", Helpers.GetCurrentServerRoot & applicationFolder)

        Dim mymailMsgobj As New Net.Mail.MailMessage("[email protected]", CreateUserWizard1.Email, "Registration Confirmation", mymailBody)

        mymailMsgobj.IsBodyHtml = True

        sc.Send(mymailMsgobj)

    End Sub

================================================== ===================

Thanks a lot for your great patience to tolerate me so long !

I can not express my gratitude in any other way. I will definitely seek help from you in this field in future.

Bye.

Ajoy.
