Mail function

Rebel · November 9th, 2007, 05:16 AM

the whole mail works creat i can bcc it and all.

but in Outlook Express the table is formatted nice.
Only the body has the standard font of the mailprogram.

How can i set this to always be 1 font?

isnt; that in the statistext file:

Body style"font=Tahoma" or something like that?

HTML mail is always a little tricky to format, as you can't really use external style sheets as you would with ASPX pages.

However, in-line styles would work fine:

<table>
<tr>
<td style="font-family: Arial">Some Text</td>
</tr>
</table>

In this example, the style is applied to a td, but you can of course also apply it to other elements like the <table>

For the benefit of the archive of this forum, would you mind posting your final code?

Cheers,

Imar

Take a look in the code behind. You should see something like _Default Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Maybe you have multiple _Default classes? If you change that, make sure you also change the ASPX file which contains a reference the same class.

Re code: whatever you ended up with to send mail, so future visitors to this forum know how you fixed it.

No i don;t have multiple Default classes or other classes

But when i change for example Wrox:ShoppingCartView to My:ShopView It works doesn;t give an error on that page but on the page wich links from it does give an error :S

But aint it strange that it works on local and not on a publisher

Oke i just uploaded it using filezilla that atleast justs uploads it.

But i get a Configuration Error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Configuration Error

Yeah, very strange indeed. Sounds like a configuration problem, or maybe there are files missing, or extra files with a different name? Try clearing the remote folder first and then do a clean upload.

A quick Google search should give you plenty of results on this error. Basically, the folder this application resides in must be marked as a virtual directory (under IIS) or you should move it to the root of the site.

Can you please start new threads for new topics? This is in no way related to "Mail function" anymore, making things a bit more difficult and confusing.

          ByVal emailAddress As String)

        Try
            Dim myGridView As GridView = CreateGridView()
            myGridView.DataSource = theShoppingCart.Items
            myGridView.DataBind()

            If myGridView.Rows.Count > 0 Then
                myGridView.FooterRow.Cells(0).Text = "Totaal:"
                myGridView.FooterRow.Cells(3).Text = _
                         String.Format("{0:c}", theShoppingCart.Total)

                Dim theSubject As String = "Je bestelling bij Itasc"
                Dim theMessage As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText _
                  (AppConfiguration.ConfirmationMessageLocation)

                theMessage = theMessage.Replace("##ShoppingCart##", _
                GetHtmlFromControl(myGridView))
                theMessage = theMessage.Replace("##OrderNumber##", orderId.ToString())
                Dim myMessage As MailMessage = New MailMessage("[email protected]", emailAddress, theSubject, theMessage)
                myMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
                myMessage.Bcc.Add("[email protected]")
                'myMessage.Bcc.Add("[email protected]")
                'myMessage.Bcc.Add("[email protected]")
                mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage)

            End If
            'Public Shared Sub SendConfirmationMessage( _
            ' ByVal theShoppingCart As ShoppingCart, ByVal orderId As Integer, _
            ' ByVal emailAddress As String)

            ' Try

            ' myGridView.DataSource = theShoppingCart.Items
            ' myGridView.DataBind()

            ' If myGridView.Rows.Count > 0 Then
            ' myGridView.FooterRow.Cells(0).Text = "Totals:"
            ' myGridView.FooterRow.Cells(3).Text = _
            ' String.Format("{0:c}", theShoppingCart.Total)

            ' Dim theSubject As String = "Your order at Wrox WebShop"
            ' Dim theMessage As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText _

            ' 'Dim myMailMessage As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage

            ' mClient.Send("[email protected]", emailAddress, theSubject, theMessage)
            ' End If
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class

And all the other files i dind't change anything that made it working or not ;)

I hope it will help other people ;)

Great. Thanks for the follow up.

BTW: did you know that [quote] is to quote someone, while [code] is to represent code in these messages? Using [code] you get a fixed width font which makes things easier to read.

Cheers,
