Thanks

Prakash, using schedule task is better when we have to run only one executable. But there may be more than 1 emails to be sent by my application

Hi,
can you explain me how you are getting the mailing list. My opinion is get a mailing list count and use for loop to send a mail. I think you might get the clue.

Thanks

The time of notification is not known infact user save it in database, u r interpreting the problem wrong. Infact i have to make some type of service that would continuously listen to the db.

Reading Config File in .Net 2.0

How about writing a service that polls the database? Sending email is trivial, look for the System.Web.Mail namespace.

Hi,
I tried but could not find much help regarding reading config file in .Net2.0.

based on what i read i did the following:

string xxx= ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("XXX");

but
i get the following error msg while compiling:

'System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. C:\projects\mobilife\CAA\src\Fokus\Caa\Main\CAAMain.cs 82 17 CAA

You have no reference to the System dll, or it's the wrong version. Add the reference, or if you have one, remove it and add it again so that you get the correct version.

hi,
i removed the reference and added reference to System.dll once again but i still have the same problem. Smile | :)

any idea?

Is it just this project that acts up? Do you have any other project that works or not works?

aha...
i created a new project and it works there.

my previous project was for PocketPC. does it mean that this is not supported in Compact framework?

if so then what r other possibilities to read configuration properties.

thanks a lot for your help.

No, of course a NameValueCollection is supported in the Compact Framework. It's used for a lot of things, like Request.Form and Request.Querystring.

what about methods to read configuration file?

i get the error when i do the following:

string xxx = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("XXX");

is it the problem with System.configuration.dll file which i have to reference it?

Guffa2-Jan-06 21:25

The System.Configuraiton namespace is in the System.dll file.

If you get the same error message, it still has nothing to do with reading the configuration file, it's some problem with the reference.

i guess so.. do you think it is the problem with the additional reference: System.configuration.dll that has ConfigurationManager?
