Hi, thanks for the response.

In both machines I have a mail client (Outlook). And the direcctions, user and password are correct. I prove to disable the firewall, and enable with the exception of smtp, and doesn't send.

There is only a difference, when I test the connection to the mail server, within open the outlook, the vista machine connects and the xp pro machine doesn't connect to the server because it can't find the smtp server.

Could be a problem of the configuration of windows xp professional?

Thanks.

If Outlook does not work on your XP machine, there is a problem with the configuration,
and not with your C# code. I'm not a mail specialist.

Is it your own smtp server you are using, or the server supplied by your ISP? If it's your own, is it in the same local network as your computer? If not, does your ISP allow sending mail with any other server than the one that they supply? (It's common for ISPs to close port 25 to prevent spamming.)

Is the server running? Does your Windows XP SP2 Firewall allow the connection?

Hi, my company has a domain supplied by a ISP, and offers mail service. I try to send an email using the smtp of this domain to other user of other domain. And I think that the configuration of the mail is good because in Windows Vista the application sends the message. But in xp proffessional I have the problem that I have explained before.

Can you even ping your mail server ip address from the XP Professional pc ?

Also do you have the SMTP Service installed and running on your XP Professional PC ? SMTP Service can be installed via Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs -> Add Remove Windows Components -> IIS Components

Visual studio has a setup project that might be what you are looking for. I wrote an article on it:

Hope that helps.

Sorting Multiple columns On gridview

Hi all,
I have a griedview boud to a datatable.There are about four column of data.I want to be able to sort in any of the column header.

Please advice

kubben24-Jul-07 2:11

24-Jul-07 2:11

Each column has a sortexpression. So you just comma sepparate the columns.
SortExpression="col1,col2"

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your response

ALLOW sorting=true on my gridview and also the sortexpression is set to a databound field.

The grid datasource is datatable.

Is there any thing i am missing

Thanks

kubben24-Jul-07 3:54

You need to re-post your code with the "Ignore HTML tags in the message" check box checked, otherwise your code with < and > gets stripped out.

My guess without seeing the code would be you need to mark the gridview itself as sortable.

In the gridview control it is called AllowSorting=true

Hope that helps,
Ben

asp:GridView ID="GVresult" runat="server" GridLines="None" AllowSorting="True" Visible="false"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#CC9966" Font-Names="Verdana"

asp:BoundField DataField="ADA" HeaderText="CLis" SortExpression="ADA">
asp:BoundField DataField="Times" HeaderText="No.Of Times" sortExpression="Times"
asp:BoundField DataField="sumDurationHour" HeaderText="sumDurationHour" SortExpression="SumDuration"

Datasource is datatable.

Thanks

That looks like it should work, so I am guessing you have something going on in your pageload. Something that does the initial load of the datatable and binds the gridview? That code if it exists is what is causing your sorting not to work since it sets the gridview state back to the original state. Have you considered using a sqldatasource or an objectdatasource? If you use those objects then sorting works more easily.

Ben

Thank you very much,

I know it works with SQLdatasource.But i have to use Datatable for some reasons.I dont have a code in the pageload event.
I bind the grid when a user clicks a button.

Thanks

kubben24-Jul-07 4:27

24-Jul-07 4:27

Well, then you have some more work to do. First you have to implement the gridviewSorting event.

That will tell you what the sortexpression and sortdirection are. Then you will need to take the defaultview of your datatable and set the Sort property. Once the dataview.sort property has been set the sort will have been changed. You will probably have to re bind your gridview to the sorted dataview.

Ben

kubben24-Jul-07 4:28

By the way a sqldatasource and an objectdatasource can return a datatable from their select method.

Thanks once again,

Could you please give me a bit of a code on how to go about that? or else any refernce where i can get this specific info.

I need to sort that out asap.

Thanks for your time

kubben24-Jul-07 4:44

Not sure if you want the code in vb.net or C#

Inside of the gridviewSorting method

protected void GridView1_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
        {
//So somehow you get your datatable:
//In C# it would look like:
DataView cv = yourDataTable.DefaultView;
cv.Sort = e.SortExpression;

if you want to add the sort direction you have to do a little more work
if (e.SortDirection == SortDirection.Ascending)
{
  cv.Sort += " ASC";
}
else
{
  cv.Sort += " DESC";
}

yourgridview.Datasource = dv;
yourgridview.DataBind();
}

Anyway, that may not be perfect code, but it is pretty close.

Hope that helps.

Many thanks it worked.

Are there ways that i can keep the previous sort in on a specific column.so that it can can do ASC or DESC many times on any columns chosen at any time.

Thanks

kubben25-Jul-07 1:52

25-Jul-07 1:52

Unfortunately, you have to use session variables. Compare the session variable with the e.SortDirection. It doesn't work perfect, but it is the best I have been able to come up with.
