VB Programmer

I am trying to send a simple email through my ASP.NET website. This is how
I do it.
Try
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send("(e-mail address removed)",
"(e-mail address removed)", "test", "TESTING 123")
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(ex.ToString)
End Try
Exit Sub

I get this error:
"System.Web.HttpException: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. --->
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by
the target of an invocation. --->
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040220): The "SendUsing"

Any ideas? Thanks.
 
Hi VB programmer,

This sample I made once for someone from Polen.
wiadomosc=message

I hope this helps?

Dim wiadomosc As Web.Mail.MailMessage = New Web.Mail.MailMessage
Dim config As MailAttachment = New
MailAttachment("c:\test.txt")
wiadomosc.Attachments.Add(config)
wiadomosc.From = xxx@xxx
wiadomosc.To = xxx@xxx
wiadomosc.Subject = "..."
wiadomosc.Body = "..."
wiadomosc.BodyFormat = Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "xxxx.xxxx.xx"
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(wiadomosc)

I tried it and got the same error.

I used "localhost" as the SmtpServer. Is this the right thing to do? Is
the "Default SMTP Virtual Server" in ISM the only thing that needs to be
running? Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
Hi,

Do you have a IIS smtp mailserver running on that localhost.
If you have you also can than try 127.0.0.1

Thanks that you tell me that

And you are sure that you can use LOCALHOST everywhere?
Click to expand...

Anywhere that you want to use 127.0.0.1 - except on Win95 B which has a bug
with it, but you wont be running .net there anwyays.

But you still have to have a SMTP server running.

I get same problem. Never been able to figure it out. If all else fails,
you can set SMTP property to your ISP's SMTP server. This is what I did.

These codes are working without error message.. But I didn't get email.. Is that really working or not?
