Attachments work!!! new problem...

Hey Imar and everybody,

Including attachments to my mail being sent from my site works, super, thanks for that...

But I have a new problem:

I have built a page with an application form, which can be filled in by possible candidates; everything works except for the following:

I want the page/control(.ascx) to 'hold' the values for that specific vacancy, which I managed to do by adding a formView, connected to a SQLdatasource, which is connected to the queryString in the URL. So I get the name of the function and the branch(filiaal) of that specific vacancy on my page, but how do I get this in my email, which is about to be sent from my site?

mailbody=mailbody.replace("###vacatureFiliaal###", vacatureFiliaal.selectedValue) doesn't work...

this solution is propable 'te kort door de bocht'

I used a formView because I cannot figure out how to get data into a TextBox(.text) control

And so is the question.... ;-)

Without relevant code, it's pretty much impossible to say what's going on. For example, it's unclear what vacatureFiliaal is.

Assign its Text proeprty:

myTextBox.Text = "SomeText"

You asked for it...

workflow:

I have a page displaying all the details of a certain 'vacature'. The detailsView on that page contains a 'Solliciteer!' hyperlinkField. in the URL this hyperlink generates I also included a query string '?Id={0}' where Id is the Id of the 'vacature'.

Once clicked, people get 'sent' to the 'sollicitatie' page for which I built a (.ascx) control.Most of the fields in this control are textfields and fileUpload fields, which all work.

The only problem I have is that I want to add automatically the 'filiaal' value to the 'sollicitatie' email

In my possible solution (which doesn't work by the way) I used a FormView named 'vacatureFiliaal' to display the 'filiaal' value of that specific 'vacature'

this displaying the 'filiaal'value actually works, but if I want to include this value in an e-mail by:

Code:

            mailBody = mailBody.Replace("###VacatureFiliaal###", VacatureFiliaal.SelectedValue)

following your example in chapter 9, page 325, I won't get the 'filiaal' value in the email.

the following code shows you where I create the 'vacatureFiliaal' formView.

Code:

    <asp:FormView ID="VacatureFiliaal" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" 
                style="font-weight: 700; font-size: large">
                <EditItemTemplate>
                    Filiaal:
                    <asp:TextBox ID="FiliaalTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Filiaal") %>' />
                    <br />
                    <asp:LinkButton ID="UpdateButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="True" 
                        CommandName="Update" Text="Update" />
                    &nbsp;<asp:LinkButton ID="UpdateCancelButton" runat="server" 
                        CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel" Text="Cancel" />
                </EditItemTemplate>
                <InsertItemTemplate>
                    Filiaal:
                    <asp:TextBox ID="FiliaalTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Filiaal") %>' />
                    <br />
                    <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="True" 
                        CommandName="Insert" Text="Insert" />
                    &nbsp;<asp:LinkButton ID="InsertCancelButton" runat="server" 
                        CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel" Text="Cancel" />
                </InsertItemTemplate>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    Filiaal:
                    <asp:Label ID="FiliaalLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Filiaal") %>' />
                    <br />

                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:FormView>
            <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" 
                ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString1 %>" 
                SelectCommand="SELECT Filiaal.Filiaal FROM Vacature INNER JOIN Filiaal ON Vacature.FiliaalId = Filiaal.Id WHERE (Vacature.Id = @Id)">
                <SelectParameters>
                    <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="Id" QueryStringField="Id" />
                </SelectParameters>
            </asp:SqlDataSource>

If I understand you correctly (which I am still not sure about), you need to use FindControl on the FormView to find the TextBox inside.

Hope this helps,
