I have a question. I am getting my from email address from the database but when the address is not in the correct email format the program stops sending. How can i determine if its in correct format and if it is not then jump to the next.? Thanks.

I have enabled POP on my gmail account and am using the code in this article. But nothing happens. I’ve been getting help from the support people who make Best Server, I’ve opened a help case with Microsoft in using third party SMTP programs and I’m getting help from my IP provider.

With all that, I still cannot get a simple email sent from my program.

Any suggestions? I’m really losing hope here. Given that .Net is supposed to be webcentric, sending an email from a .Net project would seem to be a level 1 issue. Instead, it’s a nightmare.

I wish I could say I was surprised….

thanks

Ugh. What do we put in for a value in “UserToken”????

Without that info… none of this works at all.

Can you explain me the “UserToken” in the SendAsync method?

Thanks !!

Yes. The SmtpClient object has an event called SendCompleted. To use it you would have to declare this object at the module level and add a handler. Here’s an example. First the code to initialize the SmtpClient and add the handler:

EmailServer = New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(EmailServerName)
AddHandler EmailServer.SendCompleted, AddressOf EmailSendCompleted

Now the routine that waits for the SendCompleted event.

Private Sub EmailSendCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs)
    If e.Error IsNot Nothing OrElse e.Cancelled Then
        'do error management 
    End If
End Sub
