I have made a contact me form for my website. When I was testing it with f5 in ASP.Net, the contact me page just reloaded itself after I submitted the information (like the Name, Phone Number, Email etc). But I still received the email containing the information I inputted into the Text Boxes in the Form.
So I decided to include a Try-Catch and redirect to a failure or success page depending on if it sent successfully... it always redirected to failure.html but I still received the email which is weird.
So I decided to FTP the site, it still redirects to failure.html but I don't receive any email anymore. There is clearly a problem here. I get no errors and no exception etc, so I have no indication onto where I'm going wrong. I will include all my coding.
contactme.aspx (just the form):
<div runat="server" id="form01">
<table width="325" border="0">
<tr>
<td height="30" class="left"><asp:label runat="server" for="name">Name:</asp:label></td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" class="input" type="text" name="name" id="name"></asp:TextBox></td>

Sorry about that, I have reformatted it.

I have no idea about asp.net, but the first thing I would do is actually try to catch the exception!
try
{
Response.Redirect("success.html");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Response.Redirect("failure.html");
}
|
|
|
|
|
Ok thanks for the reply, I'll trying that now.
*EDIT* I posted the exception but it got deleted I think. I changed the catch to:
Response.Redirect("success.html");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Response.Write(ex.Message);
}
I had to FTP the site before the exception would show. It kept going to success.html when I tested with Localhost. I didn't receive any email after I FTP'ed either.

Ok I changed the Catch to this:
Response.Redirect("success.html");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Label1.Text = "ex message: " + ex.Message;
}
After I changed it, it redirected to "success.html" and I still got the email, so I decided to FTP it to see if it really was "successful".... It wasnt, and my ex message was: Failure sending mail.
No email and no details at all :/.
Thanks again for the reply.
Respct,

Have a look at the ex.Innerexception, it may contain a clue as to why it failed if it has a value.
|
|
|
|
|
Where do I place ex.Innerexception please?
Respect,
(*$malli$*)
|
|

put a breakpoint in your catch block and when it's hit, hover your mouse over the ex
You will now be able to examine all the exception's properties including the InnerException[^] property.

Ok thanks for the help, I got to view it at last...
Now the fact that I get the email when testing through Localhost but not when I FTP the website, does that mean that something is wrong with my SMTP details? here is the top half of the InnerException:
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 188.121.53.3:25 at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress
would that IP address maybe be blocked by GoDaddy or something?

hello
I want to know how I could solve this problem. child forms goes behind panel in the parent form .and I just could change background color I want to place a picture on the background how could I do this?
|
|
|
|
|
MDI - set background picture here[^].Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...
|
|
|
|
|
|
thank you a lot. but how about panel ? when I add a panel to the parent form,child form goes behind panel.
|
|
|
|
|
There is a property called BringToFront().
Try using this property on your child control.Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...
|
|
|
|
|
|
I tested it but it didn't work.
|
|
|
|
|
I ran into this issue myself, you have to dock your panel to get the behavior you want.
|
|
|
|
|
how? I already start to learn c# and I don't know what you mean.

My apologies for the relatively newbie-ish question -- I'm rather new to C# and WPF programming. Here's an object I'm trying to use with strong influence from Pro WPF in C# 2008 (.NET version 3.5) that's supposed to validate a text box's contents:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
namespace LeanQualityTool
{
public class ValidatedTextBox : TextBox, INotifyPropertyChanged, IDataErrorInfo
{
private string _TextContents = "";
public string TextContents
{
get { return _TextContents; }
set { _TextContents = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("TextContents");
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void NotifyPropertyChanged(string info)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(info));
}
}
#region IDataErrorInfo Members
public string Error
{
get { return null; }
}
public string this[string fieldName]
{
get
{
string result = null;
#region For Validating Text
if (fieldName.Contains("Title"))
{
if (this._TextContents.Length == 0)
{
result = "Text should not be blank";
throw new ArgumentException(result);
}
else
{
}
}
#endregion
return result;
}
#endregion
}
}
}
And here's the relevant XAML:
xmlns:vip="clr-namespace:LeanQualityTool"
<vip:ValidatedTextBox Height="23" x:Name="txtJobTitle" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="276"
Style="{StaticResource validatedTextBox}">
<TextBox.Text>
<Binding Path="SelectedItem.Title" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged"
ValidatesOnDataErrors="True">
</Binding>
</TextBox.Text>
</vip:ValidatedTextBox>
I try to put a breakpoint on the IF statement in the class, but when I debug the app, changing the text in the textbox doesn't even cause the breakpoint to engage. Why isn't the new ValidatedTextBox working?

Did you really get this code from book? I really need to write a book.
BTW, you are binding to the Text property of the TextField. In code and not automagic binding, what kind of happens is this:
public class TextBox{
public string this[string fieldName]{
get;
set;
}
}
TextBox foo = new TextBox();
foo.Text = "Some Value";
So the Text Property is getting fired. Your codes seems to be:
public class TextBox{
public string Text{
get{...}
set{...}
}
}
TextBox foo = new TextBox();
foo["test"] = "test";
What I think the Author meant was, register the Notify Property event changed from the parent Text Box then call your validate method which should be a method and not an indexor like:
public class TextBox : System.Windows.Forms.TextBox {
protected override void OnTextChanged(EventArgs e) {
base.OnTextChanged(e);
Validate();
}
public void Validate() {
}
}
Of course I am just guessing.

Worked like a charm!
Let me know if and when you get that book written, okay? I'll buy three copies.

I have an application which a tabcontrol on it. Each tab has various input boxes of various types (textboxes, gridviews, checkboxes and comboboxes). When the user clicks a tab the applicable data is loaded from a database and the controls on that tab are populated. When the user clicks a different tab, a messagebox should pop up asking if he wants to save his input. That part is not a problem. However, I would only like the box to pop up if he changed any input, or at least clicked inside a control. Is there a global way to sense this? I thought about creating a boolean flag, that gets set in each control change event - however this would seem bulky.
Thanks
Marc

If you already have a class that holds the data for each page, then you can take a copy of the original data and then compare it to the possibly edited data.
It's a bit of work to implement a copy constructor and equality operator, but it does have the advantage that if a user changes something and then changes it back, then he won't be prompted to save.

What do you mean a class that holds the data? I guess I could put the data in a dataadapter object, and then load the data into a second dataadapter object upon tab click and compare the two objects. Not sure if you can compare them directly though.
Thanks
