By writing code that provides a format string. We can't be more specific without knowing what your code looks like.

For that you need to simply formating you date-time variable while showing on gridview.
As CG suggested , If you put your code over here then we can give the exact solution.

Hi all,
iam using ByDefault SMTP Server for sending email and iam using system.net.mail namspace(objects) for sending email .

Problem now is that the webapp says "Message Sent" when I send an email TO and FROM a Gmail account, or yahoo account but I never receive the email.

Is there a possibility that Gmail and yahoo doesn't allow email relaying or what else can I try? I am not receiving any error messages in my VB code or anywhere else.

what things iam missing guide me in this issue .

Best regards
Rameez

Does your SMTP Configure properly ?
Address that you have specified that are really exists ?

Thanks Abhijit for reply ,

Here is the webconfig setting for my Page

<appSettings> 
<add key="MyMailServer" value="localhost"/>

<add key="MyMailServerPort" value ="25"/> 
</appSettings>

and here is send button click code

Protected Sub btnSend_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSend.Click

        'send message

        Dim strMsg As String
        strMsg = txtMessage.Text

        mTo = Trim(txtTo.Text)
        mFrom = Trim(txtFrom.Text)
        mSubject = Trim(txtSubject.Text)
        mMsg = Trim(txtMessage.Text)
        mMailServer = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("MyMailServer")
        mPort = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("MyMailServerPort")
        mCC = Trim(txtCC.Text)

        Try

            Dim message As New MailMessage(mFrom, mTo, mSubject, mMsg)

            If fileAttachments.HasFile Then
                Dim attached As New Attachment(Trim(fileAttachments.PostedFile.FileName.ToString()))
                message.Attachments.Add(attached)
            End If

            If mCC <> "" Or mCC <> String.Empty Then
                Dim strCC() As String = Split(mCC, ";")
                Dim strThisCC As String
                For Each strThisCC In strCC
                    message.CC.Add(Trim(strThisCC))
                Next
            End If


            Dim mySmtpClient As New SmtpClient(mMailServer, mPort)
            mySmtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = True
            mySmtpClient.Send(message)

            MessageBox("The mail message has been sent to " & message.To.ToString())

        Catch ex As FormatException

            MessageBox("Format Exception: " & ex.Message)

        Catch ex As SmtpException

            MessageBox("SMTP Exception:  " & ex.Message)

        Catch ex As Exception

            MessageBox("General Exception:  " & ex.Message)

        End Try

    End Sub

"localhost" is most likely not an email server, you need to use the address of your mail server, such as mail.mycompany.com or 192.236.25.100

Also, if this is a web app, what are you using MessageBox for? Who is going to see the exception?

I didn't get any thing wrong with your code for sending mail. I think there should have some problem with you SMTP Configuration.

First of all I would like to say, you should get some knowledge about SMTP before going to implement Email functionality.

For your information... for testing purpose you can use gamil account for sending the mail see the below code-

MailMessage MyMailMessage=new  MailMessage();
MyMailMessage.From = new MailAddress("g.parwez@gmail.com");
MyMailMessage.To.Add("g.parwez@gmail.com");
MyMailMessage.Subject = "Parwej Testing !!!";
MyMailMessage.Body = "This is the test text for Parwej Ahamad";
SmtpClient SMTPServer=new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
SMTPServer.Port = 587;
SMTPServer.Credentials =new System.Net.NetworkCredential("yourgmaid", "yourgmailpassword");
SMTPServer.EnableSsl = true;
SMTPServer.Send(MyMailMessage);

I am trying to deploy my ASP.NET 3.5 application to a server on my domain
And I have the following problems

1- I failed to deploy from my machine to the server remotely
I get the error "Could not find a Web server at 'servername'"
(Note that my machine runs WinXP and the server runs Vista with IIS7)

2-To test the server, I copied my work to the server and tried to deploy from there. It SUCCEEDED but still 2 problems:

2.i - the default page does not load, I have to write its path (so, how to define home page in IIS7)
2.ii - I failed to display the web site from any other machine in the domain

I hope to get ideas for all of the above

Thanks

I didn't get your point. You want to deploy remotely ? are you using Copy web tool for that ?

I've developed an application in .NET Framework 2 with c#. I'd like to build a good help file for my application. Since I'm beginer to this, I have no idea if there is a good solution for building a good help file or not.

THANKS,

There's no automatic way to do it, you need to build a help system yourself. The typical way to do it is to have a url such as help.aspx, and have a help icon that points to pages like help.aspx?id=24, where the id tells the page what help item to load out of the database.

You can use just simple html page, or aspx page or even can use flash for that.

It's not point and click but Help Studio Lite, which had previously been included in the Visual Studio SDK, can help you create the files.

I'm trying to add a webusercontrol I've created dynamically through a page. I have the properties all set up correctly, and those are working. What happens when the Page_Load is that the labels that I have in the control are still null when the Page_Load runs, so a NullReferenceNotHandled exception is thrown when I try to access a label's Text property. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe I'm using the webusercontrol in the wrong way, I'm used to writing desktop applications...

He's the code I'm using, assume that I have the correct code for the properties

public NewsPost(string title, string date, string message, int newsId)
{
    this.Title = title;
    this.Date = date;
    this.Message = message;
    this.NewsId = newsId;
}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    lblTitle.Text = Title; //NullReferenceNotHandled error is thrown here
    lblDate.Text = Date;
    lblMessage.Text = Message;
}

Dynamically adding controls is always grief. A better way to do it is to build a collection of news item object and then bind them to a data driven control, in order to shoe them.

Of course you do. But, if you searched for this question, you'd find it's been asked many times before. There's no foolproof way to know, you can do some stuff with AJAX to try to make it foolproof, and that will work 99% of the time. If your app has users logging in, I'd just have a logout functionality, and a timeout so that if they don't log out, they get logged out after a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise, if you google, as I said, there's a client side event you can use to fire an ajax call telling you that they have left a page, then you can basically log them in and out, once for every page they visit.

The only way is to use the session and store handle your database when the session expires

But, I'd like to know what you need to store in database when the client exits

foreach(Minute m in MyLife)
myExperience++;

Mohammed Gouda wrote:

That's not true, as I said, it's possible using AJAX to know when a client leaves a page, even if they do it by closing the browser.
