        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(spgetuser, con);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@email", txtEmailP.Text);

        con.Open();
        using (SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
        {

            if (dr.Read())
            {

                username= dr["username"].ToString();

            }

        }
        con.Close();


        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(username))
        {
            try
            {
                string emailFrom = "me@example.com";

                string body = "<div style='border: medium solid grey; width: 500px; height: 266px;font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;'>";

Sounds like your smtp server isn't properly configured to send the email you want to send, or the settings you are using (port and ssl) aren't correct for your host. We don't know how your smtp server is configured so can't give any specific advice.

Please, use "Reply" widget (on the right side of nick /login) to be sure that notification system will inform user about your reply.

Bipin Joshi has a working example here. http://www.binaryintellect.net/articles/df920caf-ba69-4714-938f-fbb358532c0f.aspx which I followed for my own work.

A little question... App_Web_2woqyecp.dll: It's external/internal reference? Where/How is it referenced?

1 solution

Does not compute.
//message.To.Add(emailTo);
//message.Subject = subject;
