Thread: Sending email from asp.net 2.0

Hi all

Hope all is well, I had a page running on a domain with some code to send an email. I have since copied the code to another domain but i cant seem to send/receive any emails

I read another thread that had diffrent method of how to send an email which I am willing to try out but before I do, can anyone tell me why this is not working?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

The source code is below:


Dim savePath AsString = "C:\temp\"

ProtectedSub Button1_Click(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
IfNot (uploadedFile.PostedFile IsNothing) Then
Dim postedFile = uploadedFile.PostedFile
Dim filename AsString = Path.GetFileName(postedFile.FileName)
Dim contentType AsString = postedFile.ContentType
Dim contentLength AsInteger = postedFile.ContentLength
postedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("cv/" & filename))
Try
Dim m As Web.Mail.MailMessage = New Web.Mail.MailMessage
With m
.From = txtEmail.Text
.To = someone@somewhere.com
.Cc = ""
.Body = txtName.Text & " Would like to apply for: " & "<br /><Br />"
.Body &= "Role: " & lblJobTitle.Text & "<br /><Br />"
.Body &= "Location: " & LblLocation.Text & "<br /><Br />"
.Body &= "Salary: " & lblSalary.Text & "<br /><Br />"
.Body &= "************************************************* *****" & "<br /><Br />"
.Body &= "Applicants Comments: " & txtComments.Text
.Subject = txtName.Text & " Would like to send you an email"
.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
IfNot (uploadedFile.PostedFile IsNothing) Then
Dim myAttachment As MailAttachment = New MailAttachment(Server.MapPath("cv/" & filename))
.Attachments.Add(myAttachment)
EndIf
EndWith
SmtpMail.Send(m)
pnlSent.Visible = True
pnlApply.Visible = False
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(ex.message & "There was an error") ' Failed uploading file
pnlError.Visible = True
EndTry

EndIf
EndSub

Why isn't it working, is there an error?

Hi Warren,

Many thanks for your prompt reply

nope, no error at all. Which is why im so bafflled lol

I have a try catch around the mail send, with a response.write back to the screen and its not catching anything. I cant see whats wrong as it is an exact copy of what I had on the other domain.

Any ideas?

Thanks again

A couple of things:

1). Is the Smtp server configured in the web.config correctly?

2). Is the message getting caught by spam filters?
