Re: How do I fix System.Net.Mail.SmtException: 'Cannot get IIS pickup directory' error?

10-Jan-20 9:19

I am trying to send email using the EmailButton_Click code. However I am getting the error on this line smtp.Send(mailMessage)

The error is System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: 'Cannot get IIS pickup directory.'

Can someone help me fix it please?

protected void EmailButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //get selected email
    EmailButton.Visible = true;
    string requestor = RequestorDropDownList.SelectedValue.ToString();
    string message = "The following records have been prepped for processing.  Valid cases will be processed.";
    if (requestor.Length > 0)
         message = string.Format(message);
        using (MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage())
        {
            mailMessage.From = new MailAddress("NoReply_FTA@courts.state.mn.us");
            //Uncomment after testing in Deve June 2019 
            MailAddress to = new MailAddress(requestor);
            mailMessage.To.Add(to);
            string ccEmailAddress = "okaymy1112@mail.com";
            if (ccEmailAddress.Length > 0)
            {
                MailAddress ccto = new MailAddress(ccEmailAddress);
                mailMessage.CC.Add(ccto);
            }
                mailMessage.Subject = "FTA Case Reset Notice";
                mailMessage.Body = message;
                SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

This is much the same issue as you posted a couple of days ago below at How to I make EmailButton_Click work? - ASP.NET Discussion Boards[^], and you appear to be trying to learn how to make it work by posting questions one at a time. Can i suggest that you study the SMTP documentation more closely to see exactly how you should be using these features. If you want to use PickupDirectoryFromIis then you most likely need to configure it within IIS.

I have a foreach statement. When I run my code in debug mode, I am getting the following error. I am not sure how to fix it. Google search shows may ways of doing it.

Error:
'object' does not contain a definition for 'Value' and no accessible method 'Value' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

foreach(string caseNumber in userEnteredCaseNumberList)

    newCandidate.RequestorInfoID = requestorItem.Value;//Error here

requestorItem does not have a property named Value. That's all the error is telling you.

I am writing a small example of Login webSite, there are two types of accounts and passwords, one is an account and password is stored in the Web.config file and the other two accounts and passwords are saved in SQL Server database, My problem is that in form 1, when logging in it opens Logon_Redirect.aspx file but cannot access, the following is my code

10-Jan-20 1:00

I am not sure what you want us to do. You have to debug this, we can't do it for you.

And in case you do not know, storing passwords in the web.config is not a good idea nor storing them in the db either. You should store hashes, but that's another topic for another time.

There's nothing in the code you've posted to show how you're loading the roles for the user.

If you're not loading the roles, then the user won't be in any roles, and your Page_Load method won't redirect at all.

You can log in, but in the code you've posted, you're not assigning any roles to the user.

Any calls to User.IsInRole will therefore return false.

There is nothing in any of the code you've posted that sets the roles for a user.

Computers aren't magic. If you don't tell the system that the user is in a particular role, then it doesn't have any way to know that the user is in that role. When you later ask it if the user is in that role, the only answer it can give you is "no".

Follow the link I provided in my previous message, and read about how to set up your application to support user roles.

(And you can ignore the ThreadAbortException - that's a normal part of redirecting the user to another page.)

How do you have a DropDownList populated without default selected item?

Member 114033049-Jan-20 6:07

Re: How do you have a DropDownList populated without default selected item?

9-Jan-20 6:07

I have a RequestorDropDownList which is populated with a list of names from a GetRequestorInfoModel.
I need help to make a change so that when this list is populated, the first name is not automatically selected until a user selects it.
How do I do this based on my code below?

ASP code for the dropdownlist

<asp:DropDownList ID="RequestorDropDownList" runat="server" Font-Size="8.25pt" 
     Height="20px" ToolTip="Requestor" Width="160px" SelectMethod="GetRequestorEmail"
     DataTextField="DisplayName" DataValueField="Email" 
     OnSelectedIndexChanged="RequestorDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged">
</asp:DropDownList>

Code behind that is populating the dropdownlist

#region Requestor dropdownlist
public async Task<IEnumerable<GetRequestorInfoModel>> GetRequestorEmail()
{                             
   try
   {
      var requestors = await FTACaseReseting.Controllers.RequestorInfoController.GetAllRequestorInfoes();
      //Show first name as selected
      return requestors.OrderBy(x => x.DisplayName);
   }
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
      string errorMsg = string.Format("An error has occured in {0}. \nException:\n{1}", "PopulateRequestorComboBox()", ex.Message);
      Response.Write("<script>alert(" + HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(errorMsg, true) + ")</script>");
      return Enumerable.Empty<GetRequestorInfoModel>();
   }
}
#endregion

Here is code for RequestorDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged

protected void RequestorDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
    if (RequestorDropDownList.SelectedItem ==null)
     {
        ListItem requestorItem = new ListItem();
        requestorItem = (ListItem)RequestorDropDownList.SelectedItem;

        if (requestorItem.Text.Length < 0)
        {
           string selectRequestor = "Please select a Requestor.";
           ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "myalert", "alert('" + selectRequestor + "');", true);
         }
         this.EmailButton.Enabled = false;
         RequestorDropDownList.SelectedValue = RequestorDropDownList.SelectedItem.Value;
     }

}

You can add an empty item, such as one that has text "Please select..." or something like that.

I actually have tried to add <--Please Select a Requestor--> but I do not know how to add that text.
Do I add that text message in ASP code for the DropDownList or code behind that is populating dropdownlist? I really do not know how to add it but I want to add it with your help.

When I debug, requestorItem = (ListItem)RequestorDropDwonList.SelectedItem is showing first name on the list. I want it to show null or nothing.

You insert a new object into the first position in the list populating the drop down. You now know what the content of that item is so when you process the selection you check for the inserted item and deal with that.

How to I make EmailButton_Click work?

All you have to do is google the error if you do not understand what the error is telling you.

The error is self-explanatory. You are using both SSL and a pickup folder, you can't use both. You either send over the network and use SSL, or write to the pickup folder which has no support for SSL. If you want to use the pickup folder don't set EnableSsl to true.

Can you kindly help or guide me on doing it the way you described? For example based on my code how can I can it so that 1. I can send email over the network and use SSL or 2. write to the pickup folder which has no support for SSL
