My website creates an email from an HTML template using MailDefinition and ending up with a System.Net.Mail.MailMessage object.
Usually, I just call the Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send method and the email is sent.
Now I need to be able to open the created email in the clients default mail program and then they click their email programs send button to send it.
In a new program I'm including a button so the user can send en email with feedback.
The problem: On Windows Vista & Windows 7, an error pops up with the following message:
[Code].....
I am receiving the same error. However, on Windows XP, both of these codes are working fine. Email client used (as default) is Outlook 2007.
How can I get a file to open in its default program by users, clicking on (Button 1 for eg.), a file dialog opening and then select a file and then it would open in the default program for that file type. I have tried other codes in these forums, but I get errors.
View 2 RepliesI was told that my program was not issuing a MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN when sending an email by the web hosting company we are connecting to. Anyone know what this means and how I do it? I am sending an email with SmtpClient and I have no problems with other clients. Here is what I was told:

I have a piece of code which sends email with an attachment from my application. The code uses MAPI to send the email. It opens up a new email message so the user can add to the email message, and then the user clicks send.The code works fine. However there is one small problem. The email that the code opens, is always in Microsoft Outlook. Sometimes the application's user has Outlook Express set up as the default client, but my application always opens the new email message in Microsoft Outlook. (Outlook 2003. In the one user's machine that has Outlook 2007, everything works fine and the email opens up in Outlook Express.)As I searched for a solution, I saw this problem posed many times in various places on the Internet, with no solution (or none that worked). I did try several suggestions which involved creating registry settings and registering some dlls.

how to send mail via .net. However I do not seemlessly want to send the mail. I want a new mail message to open and I want to attach a file that i will export from crystal. So in short, It should use outlook on the client pc, open new mail, and add attachment. The user can then type custom message, and type email addresses.
View 5 RepliesI want to make a program that tells you if you can login to an email account or not by entering their username and password into Windows Live.
It would connect to the Hotmail server and see if the user/pass combination is correct. If it can log in, it would display a label that the account is valid, if not it would say that the account is not valid.
Ok here's the totally incorrect code for logging in. I kind of borrowed it from sending an email:
Dim MyMailMessage As New MailMessage
MyMailMessage.From = New MailAddress(TextBox1.Text)
MyMailMessage.To.Add(TextBox1.Text)

I was using the following code in order to send e-mails to my company's intranet accounts from a VB.NET 2003 aplication. However this code was marked as no longer valid when I migrated the application after installing Visual Studio 2005.modifying this code in order for my application to compile succesfully? Dim email As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage
email.To = "some@Email"
email.From = "my_Application"
email.Subject = "BE CAREFULL! Errors encountered"

I get the following error:Application-defined or object-defined error.From what I can understand, it's when I attempt to attach a file to the email, I get that error. What I noticed is that it's because the file is in use.Is there anyway to attach the file anyway? My users are simply not closing their files after saving, right now I'm using computer manager to kick them out. The process is for them to save a file on a server through a share and then I pick that up and send it. Works fine as long as they close the file after save.

Currently, to avoid errors from being thrown up due to invalid email addresses, I do the following:
Dim mailAddress As MailAddress
Try
mailAddress = New MailAddress("testing@invalid@email.com")
Catch ex As Exception
'Invalid email
End Try
However, rather than depending on Try..Catch, is there a way of validating that the email address will be 100% valid for the MailAddress type?I know there a plenty of regex functions out there for validating emails, but I'm looking for the function which the MailAddress type uses to validate its addresses.
I've implemented with Visual Basic 10 an application for Net Framework 4 with functionality to send files via e-mail using System.Net.Mail. It works well except when it comes to sending an XML file whose name contains accents. In the latter case the UTF-8 name is not correct, so Widows Mail Life presents him with name consisting of a set of meaningless characters. Furthermore, the content has lost the format of lines and spaces, presented part of MIME type information in the header, so that it is unreadable XML readers. However, with a name without accents is sent successfully.[code]....
