Hi Imar,

On page 619 you explain how to use CreateUserWizard to send an email to the newly registered user. The example works very well (thank you). However, I wanted an additional email sent to me whenever someone creates a user account on my website. It seemed like this should be easy because the MailDefinition has a CC subproperty. However CC just shows another email address on the users email - it doesn't actually send another email. At least this was my experience with CC. Is there actually a way to use CC so it sends out another email? I have a work around (see below) but this CC behavior seems odd.

<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1" oncreateduser="CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser" runat......


• Imports System.Net.Mail
• Partial Class SignUp
• Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
• Sub CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
•
• Dim mymessage As MailMessage = New MailMessage()
• Dim BodyText As String
• BodyText = CreateUserWizard1.Email + " " + CreateUserWizard1.UserName
•
• mymessage.Subject = "New User"
• mymessage.Body = BodyText
• mymessage.From = New MailAddress("[email protected]", "You")
• mymessage.To.Add(New MailAddress("[email protected]", "Someone"))
•
• Dim mySmtpClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient()
• mySmtpClient.Send(mymessage)
• End Sub

That is quite an information..thanks for sharing that..

Hi there,

CC stands for Carbon Copy which means the exact same message is sent to another address. This means that the user that signed up and your account should receive an exact copy of the e-mail. If you only see one message in your Inbox, you may be using the same address and your mail server or client may only show one.

If you want to send a different message, with a different body and subject, your solution makes perfect sense and is not odd at all.

Cheers,

Imar

As usual, you're correct. I must have been testing with the same address and the mail server decided to send just one email. When I used two completely different addresses it worked as advertised.

I'm going to keep my "work around" solution in this case as the email sent to the new user shows the user name and password the user has registered with. The user, seeing a CC to someone else (even the website administrator) with that password exposed, might raise security concerns.

Thanks for clearing up this puzzle.

>> . The user, seeing a CC to someone else (even the website administrator) with that password exposed, might raise security concerns.

Yep, that makes sense. And now you a solution where you can provide different content to administrators, such as a link to approve the account (for cases where the account isn't immediately activated at creation time).

Cheers,

Imar
