Upgrade to IE7 hehe!

Problem is in the way ddl's are rendered - as windowed elements, there are several solutions around (google helps), but none particularly elegant...

If your menu works using div tags, then one method is to place an iframe 'under' your div tag (making it the same size as the div). This should hide the dropdownlist.

Hello,

I created an ASP.NET 2.0 custom control which includes various TextBoxes, Labels and a button.
Basically is a contact form. When the button is pressed the values are sent by email.

I want to use the mailSettings values in my Web.Config file.

Everything works fine if I use in my bSubmit function:

smtpClient.Host = "mail.domain.com"
smtpClient.Port = "25"
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = False
smtpClient.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("user@domain.com", "password")
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network

But if I don't include this code I get the error:

System.Net.Mail.SmtpFailedRecipientException: Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: No such user here at System.Net.Mail.SmtpTransport.SendMail(MailAddress sender, MailAddressCollection recipients, String deliveryNotify, SmtpFailedRecipientException& exception) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message) at MyNamespace.Web.UI.Form.Contact.bSubmit_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

Shouldn't it be using the Web.Config values?
And if yes, why am I getting an error if the values are the same:

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod = "network">
<network
defaultCredentials = "true"
host = "mail.domain.com"
password = "password"
port = "25"
userName = "user@domain.com" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

My bSubmit_Click function, inside my custom control, is the following:

Private Sub bSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bSubmit.Click

' Create new mail message
Dim message As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage

' Define mail message properties
With message

' Define various properties
.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(Me.ToAddress, Me.ToName))
.Body = tbMessage.Text
.IsBodyHtml = True

' Define fromMailAddress
If Me.NameVisible Then
.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(tbEmail.Text, tbName.Text)
Else
.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(tbEmail.Text)
End If

' Define subject
If Me.SubjectVisible Then
.Subject = tbSubject.Text
End If

End With

' Define a new mail SMTP client
Dim smtpClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient

' Send the mail message and define sent property
Try

' Send the mail message
smtpClient.Send(message)

' Define sent property
Me.Sent = True

Catch ex As Exception

' Define sent property
Me.Sent = False

End Try

' Raise the OnFormSubmited event
RaiseEvent FormSubmited(Me, EventArgs.Empty)

End Sub

Thanks,
Miguel

Generate GUID using 2 digit State Code

I am getting problem in generating new GUID using its constructor who takes one string argument. like this

Guid regionID = new Guid(this.State.SelectedValue);

state gives 2 digit state code.The error says you need 32 digit with 4 dashes string to generate GUID.

any solutions ?

That's right, because GUID is basically 16 bytes separated in certain places by 4 dashes...
You can not have GUID with only two bytes.

If you want, you can do it like this:

byte[] guidBytes = new byte[16];<br />
<br />
Random rand = new Random();<br />
rand.NextBytes(quidBytes);<br />
<br />
guidBites[0] = Convert.ToByte(this.State.SelectedValue[0]);<br />
guidBites[1] = Convert.ToByte(this.State.SelectedValue[1]);<br />
<br />
Guid myGuid = new Guid(guidBytes);

this should works

This solution is really unlikely to help the OP because you have not taken into account what he might actually want a GUID for. You need to try to look at the bigger picture when answering questions because most are asking questions because they've got themselves in to a bit of confusion about something. Subsequently they may not ask the best question to get the answer they need.

I think you are confused about what a GUID actually is.

A Guid is a value that is generated by the system to be Globally (as in the world) unique. You should be able to generate as many guid values as you like on your machine and so could everyone else, but every value would always be unique.
