do you know why my profile indicator has not activity and level bar?

Maybe this is because of the "profile infraction" you received some time ago for your "spammy posts"? You could try asking in the P2P feedback forum.

Cheers,

So, checking this in a mail client such as Outlook may help figuring out what's going on. Additionally, you may want to try to use Telnet and see if you can open a connection to the Gmail server: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323350 This may work differently on your version of Windows so you may need to Google a bit to find out what to do and how.

When you say "sent to friend", what do you mean? Did you send them the code to test or a link to the site? In the latter case, it won't work for them either as this is a server side issue.

Hi Imar,

When I say "sent" to friends, I zipped the entire project (c:\BegASPNET\Site) and sent it to them, they opened it and tried it on their machines.

I only have one web.comfig file and it is in my root folder of my site.

I am trying to work with this telnet thing, I have never used it before and have Win7 Ultimate and I have not done anything from a command prompt in so long I almost forgot what they looked like :P

No matter what I do it is telling me my problem is with line 48:

Line 48: mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage);

Imar · September 21st, 2011, 03:38 PM

Yes, that makes sense, as that line sets things in motion. This is where the connection with the SMTP server is set up which apparently fails.

Can you debug and look at mySmtpClient? Does it has the values you set in web.config?

Imar

I am still new to the VWD and the debugging feature but I will try and do that for you.

Do you possibly have MSN Messenger, you can always contact me smlmrnsr@cableone.net or on facebook /samuelmsr

Ok I am not sure what I am looking for when I run the debugger. I already posted a picture on one of my last posts of the only exception it shows me.

Other then that what am I looking for?

Thanks for your time, Imar!

Put a Watch on the mySmtpClient and see what values are set on its properties.

Yes, but I prefer a forum so I can choose when I answer.

Ok I have the "Watch" information. How would you like me to post it so you can see it?

Imar · September 21st, 2011, 04:38 PM

I don't have to see it. You can check for yourself to see if the settings you set in web.config show up here (such as host, port, and credentials).

Imar

SamuelMSr · September 21st, 2011, 04:40 PM

This is what it is showing me if I am reading it right (big time noob here):

Code:

DeliveryMethod: Network
EnableSsl: true
Host: "smtp.gmail.com"
PickupDeliveryLocation: Null
Port: 587
ServicePoint: {Service.Net.ServicePoint}
TargetName: "SMTPSVC/smtp.gmail.com"
Timeout: 100000
UseDefaultCredentials: false

That seems to be all of the pertinent data listed.
