awesome tutorial
but
Can somebody help me ??
i already try this tutorial buat there was an error :
1. port cannot be parsed, so i try to use 25 as the port ( is this the default port ?) and then this error doesn’t ocure again
2. after that the host name cannot be blank so i input my localhost name. done
3. then this error pop up Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response was: Cannot connect to SMTP server 114.79.33.135 (114.79.33.135:25), connect error 10061
anyone can enlighten me ?
i’m using visual studio team suite 2008, os win 7.
Hi Budi,
Are you sure that is the correct information for your SMTP server? Although the standard is 25, your server may be configured differently. The localhost value wouldn’t work unless you’re running an SMTP server from the same machine.
I would suggest doing what the author of this tutorial did, create an email address with an email provider that gives you the required information (the server’s address, i.e. smtp.gmail.com and the required port, which I believe for Google is 465 or 587).
Best of luck,

Would be a nice idea to backtrack and add links to other articles in this series from the first article… even previous/next would be nice as well.
Done :)
This is better than going school :)
Thanks a lot ioi
Hi
Can someone PLEASE help me.
at 51:21 the Web Config XML file on mine looks very different to the one he has :( I am using Visual Studio 2010. There is no ..etc
Also when I write the <syst … IntelliSense doesn't work < which means something is wrong but I don't know what !
Perhaps it is where I am putting the line ! but since it looks different I don't know where to put it.
Please Help.
Hi Ciwan,
They did changes with the way new projects are created in 2010 editions of Visual Studio. Also, if you didn’t create a “blank” web application, you may have additional files/folders/settings here and there that could potentially confuse you.
In regards to your IntelliSense, does it work elsewhere? If so, you may have added a schema value to the tag that you don’t need, schema’s help IntelliSense identify what to show, but in this case you don’t need that because it’s already aware of it in Visual Studio. If there’s an attribute in the tag, remove it. Nothing needs to be in there for this tutorial.
Best of luck,
Nathaniel Wealth
Thanks Nathaniel That Worked.
However I still can’t send Emails. The Tutorial doesn’t mention where I get that SMTP info from !!
After researching for 2 days .. I have found out that the info can be obtained from my ISP (Virgin Media). Now I have the info, but still I can’t send the email ! I get an error :( Smtp Exception !!
Will Keep Trying I guess :(
Hi Ciwan,
Sorry I can’t help you further, it seems as though the SMTP information from your ISP is unavailable. I do recommend you trying with an external email provider however, such as GMail. If you look a few posts above ours here, you’ll see I responded to another person who has what could be the same issue you’re having. See if that helps.
All the best,
Nathaniel Wealth
Hi, its a nice tutorial but i also got an error.
I watched your tut and made all like you and got an error Smtp Exception.
I downloaded your source code and have create a gmail acc then ive insert “port” “host” “User” and “pass” from my new gmail account.
and again i got an error
Is it possible that you create an example for gmail ?
Nice tutorial, but unfortunately my mail wont be sent…..it brings up the exception message; failure sending message. I understand windows 7 dont come with smtp server. could that be responsible? even after downloading free smtp server, same error still occurs so am confused..someone help please.
This is a terrific start! I did wonder, however, why you chose the older Visual Web Developer Express 2008 when the 2010 version is available. In fact, I had a hard time even locating the 2008 versions. I am assuming this won’t make any difference.
That http://www.microsoft.com/express now forces 2010 downloads.
Cheers!
Very useful tut . Definitely helped me navigate from PHP to ASP.NET
Great tutorial! Easy to understand and follow. I haven’t actually tried it myself so i may be returing to this section if i have any issues. Look forward to viewing the rest of the lessions. Can’t wait for more asp.net tutorials in the future!!!!
Nice tut but Windows XP ? That’s lame!
dotnet framework is far more powerful then compare to php, its nice to see some asp.net mvc tutorial after a long gap.
thanks
It’s a great tutorial but I have one question:
I have already started my project (building my site) on WEB FORM USING MASTER PAGE.
Now, I already used JavaScript for my for some nice features, and mainly for my Sign Up page.
I used the javascript in order to check that the sign up form is valid by checking stuff like:
Repet type of password is correct, if the mail addres the client entered is correct(one @ for example), UserName entered is valid and such.
So after the form is checked by the javascript, and being confirmed that it’s valid for the sending the data to the server, I want the form to be sent to the server.
How do I call the ASP.NET function through the javascript?
Thanks for helping in an advens!
And again, a great tutorial! moving on to the next episodes!
