Sending emails in .NET#

As a follow-up to my recent post which showed how to send an email in .NET, there are some circumtances where you would need to use SMTP authentication. In fact, my guess is that this is the norm. So: here’s how you would do that:

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage em = new MailMessage() ;

string UserName = “joe@joeblogs.com ;
string Password = “******” ;

em.Body = “This is the body of the email” ;
em.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", "1"); //basic authentication
em.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", UserName); //set your username here
em.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", PassWord); //set your password here

This is a test of BlogJet...#

Good and all as dasBlog is, I’m a rich client guy at heart, but not rich

Hence, I’m giving BlogJet a spin.

UPDATE: It’s good.

Component factory's Krypton Toolkit has been released#

I'm always glad to help out a fellow traveller so here's something well worth checking out for .NET developers who want to give their apps that professional look and feel.

The Krypton Toolkit has been released.
It provides user interface controls for Windows Forms.
It is targeted at Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0
It is free for commercial use.

To get your copy why not check out:
http://www.componentfactory.com/downloads.php

Bloggers, pass on the word too.
http://www.componentfactory.com/blogoffer.php

I'll definitely be considering Krypton for the .NET Release of PSQ

Adwords Campaign#

Finally got around to mounting an adwords campaign for PSQ. If you have a downloadable product and don't have an adwords campaign, I would encourage you to try it out. Its easy to set up, doesn't cost much and you can pack it in any time.

I've had a few hits from the ad over two days, nothing spectacular, but more than I was getting before.

I've also set up a notification so that I get an email to my gmail account if anyone comes to the site. For anyone who'd like to try it using ASP.NET just put some code like this in the Page_Load event:

// only fire if HTTP_REFERER is not null
// since null indicates a googlebot

string referer = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"] ;

if ( referer != "" )
{
   
System.Web.Mail.MailMessage em = new MailMessage() ;
   
em.Subject = "home page hit! holy cow!" ;
   em.From = "Hits<abc@xyzwq.com>" ;
   
em.To = "mygmail accoun at gmail dot com" ;
   
em.Body = "Remote = " + Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"] + "\n" ;
   
em.Body += "Referer = " + Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"] ;

   SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail dot mydomain dot com" ;
   
SmtpMail.Send(em);
}

VistaDB Evaluation#

Well, I got my free copy of VistaDB 2.1 for .NET.
So far, so good. Installs cleanly enough.
Managed to whip out a .NET test app in no time.

Will definitely be considering VistaDB for the .NET Version of PSQ

I've done some searching to try and find an independent review of VistaDB. If anybody knows of a thorough evaluation please leave a comment.

The above description is provided by the folks at Vista. For placing it here I get a free copy of the software.

This could be a useful alternative to using MSDE or SQL Express, especially if you want your app to be downloadable in a jiffy and installed in a jiffy, which I do!

Will post an evaluation when I've had a look.
