Send Mail Web Service
- Thread starter ami7
- Start date
you mean that your client would send a body message, a sender and a target mail address and the webservice should make and send the mail?
if yes, it's a quite simple web service.
You could create a MyMessage class, containing body, title, sender, reciever attributes.
Then on the client make a instance of this object and send it to your server.
In the server get the object and create a mail
You can send a mail in VB.NET this way (it's only a solution not the only one) :
Here is the way you declare your webService:

Hi,
Thanks for you info,
Wat i want is to create a webservice which calls a function and the function should have the code for sending email to the id which is mentioned in the TO address.
am trying this but nothing happens:
I created a webservice like this.
<WebMethod()> Public Function SendMail() As DataSet
Dim m As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage()
With m
.From = "me@my.place"
.To = "xyz@org.uk"
.Subject = "My SMTP Test"
.Body = "My New Message"
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(m)
End With
I am not sure if this is right...DO i have to mention anything about the smtp server name or so...
Not good at mail server stuff...please help.
thanks.

no you don't have to set anything.
are you sure that the webservice method is called ? (debug mode)
why do you return a dataset ?
as you can see in the help of .net your syntax is correct
So i think that you don't call correctly the webservice.
First, you should create a simple application with a button that executes your method, to be sure that the syntax for the sendmail is correct.
Then if the method is correct, the problem in on the webservice call side.
Did you created a webservice class before the method ? did you check that the client calls the server ? use the debug mode step by step i'm sure you will find the answer

myMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
myMail.Body = "<html><body>UtilMailMessage001 - success</body></html>"

Hi Elise,
i created one button and a text box in my form(.aspx page).
In the click event of the button am using the foll code.
still nothing happens:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim NewMessage As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage()
NewMessage.To = "xyz@org.uk"
NewMessage.From = "webserver@here.com"
NewMessage.Subject = "New information submitted"
NewMessage.Body = txtBody.Text
SmtpMail.send(NewMessage)
End Sub
wat is wrong in the above code.
In few other examples there is this line which is included.
'System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "NYMPH"
why do we need this???
Thanks for your help.

well
i have never specified the mail server. This class (smtpmail) allow you to avoid to specify a server.
I don't know the way the connection is set on your computer.
Did you catch an exception ? (try catch)
Is your computer connected to a lan internet access ?
Try a more simple way to send the mail :
SmtpMail.send("a@a.com","b","c","d"
