Chapter 9 Sending E-mail Try it Out

oIse7enIo · December 28th, 2016, 11:29 PM

Hello,

When I try to run the E-mail.aspx.cs, I run into this error:

The remote name could not be resolved: 'smtp.zanestate.edu'

Here is my Code:

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Net.Mail;

public partial class Demos_Email : BasePage
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MailMessage myMessage = new MailMessage();
        myMessage.Subject = "Test Message";
        myMessage.Body = "Hello world, from Chris' Mind";
        myMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Chris");
        myMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]", "John"));

        SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
        mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage);
    }
}

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

      </assemblies>
    </compilation>
    <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5.1"/>
  </system.web>
  <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="Christopher &lt;[email protected]&gt;">
        <network host="smtp.zanestate.edu" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>
</configuration>

Is this something I will be able to do through this lesson??

Thanks in Advance,
Se7en

In order to send a real mail, you need a valid mail server. smtp.zanestate.edu apparently doesn't exist, or may only exist within a private network. So you'll need to find a valid server address; zanestate.edu may use mail.zanestate.edu instead or something else), or you can use a free account like Gmail or Yahoo.

As an alternative, you can save the files in a local folder as explained on page 323; then you can open the emails with a client like Outlook.

Cheers,

Alright, now I'm getting this issue after the final Try it Out on Chapter 9.

It shows that the Message Sent when I first open the page, but when I input information, it gives me the error in the first picture.

What code would you like to see?

Here is my whole file for Chapter 9:

It seems we're now discussing this here: Chapter 10 flickerFree Pages
