This is not a Complete E-mail Sending Procedure.

You need a Port , Your Gmail username and your Password. Look at how i do it

First of all you are using an obsolete API

SmtpMail Class
NOTE: This API is now obsolete.

Provides properties and methods for sending messages using the Collaboration Data Objects for Windows 2000 (CDOSYS) message component. Recommended alternative: System.Net.Mail[^].
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mail.smtpmail.aspx[^]

You may want to read this(Using Gmail to Relay Email)[^]

Also, if this took you one week you need to immediately evaluate your research skills, and possibly skills in general for using obsolete APIs.

Plans, Guidelines and Decisions for a Charity Web Application Project

Hello there fellow users, I have been entrusted with the task of designing and implementing a financial system for a charity foundation where I live.

The charity foundation requires its work (addition and retrieval of records, for example) to be done online, using a web app. The app connects to a database server for storage and the charity's numerous branches connect to the central database center.

So what I would like to ask for is guidelines and suggestions on what technologies to use to accomplish this task:
- A suitable, well-supported and secure programming language or framework for the web app. (ASP.net or JSP for example)
- A suitable and secure database system (MySQL for example) that supports Arabic records.
- Methods, guidelines to implement critical security measures.

Although we have worked on similar projects before, the level of security and accuracy wasn't as critical as for a project such as this; that is why I'm asking for guidelines from the experts here.

This post may not be as detailed as it should, but I'm happy to listen carefully to any suggestion or guideline.

Thank you.

I would suggest ASP.NET and SQL Server, Express is free it cost is a factor. For security considerations you may want to use SSL and, of course, strong passwords.

Thanks for the reply Mark.
Indeed I have worked on projects of similar type, but they were conducted in university courses inside laboratories, so the projects were obviously not ready for commercialization.

As for your suggestions of ASP.NET and SQL Server, may I ask what other comparable alternatives are there?
Would, for example, using MySQL server be more secure and easier to use than Microsoft's SQL Server?

Also, while we are indeed going to use SSL, we believe we can do more for security. After all, most web server attacks occur not because of the server's weakness, but because a badly written web app; so I would love to be pointed in the direction where I can learn how to add concrete security to my web app.

Thanks for the help again.

So you're first real-world project involves a high security web application Confused | :confused:

Does the client know this?

MySQL isn't any more or less secure than SQL Server if its configured and used properly. However, since this is a beginning project there are more resources and support for SQL Server in an ASP.NET environment tha you may benefit from.

You should read through this, Improving Web Application Security: Threats and Countermeasures[^]

Thanks for the link, I'll study it thoroughly.
And yes, the client knows about it. They want us to do it because they can't afford to a pay a lot. For us it's more of a great learning experience than financial gain, though.

Hi All,
I have been stuck with this problem for a long time and have not found any solution.
suppose I have a page called a.aspx.vb and a class file called B.vb.
in a.aspx.vb I create a new instance of B:

protected sub page_load()
     dim cls as new B
     dim lit as new literal
     lit = b.createbutton
end sub

then say inside the B.vb I have:

protected function createbutton() as literal
     dim lit as new literal
     dim butt as new Button()
     'this is where my problem is
     addhandler butt.click, addressof method
     lit.controls.add(butt)
     return lit
end function

I want my code to do something on click. like...assign some value to some variables on a.aspx.
say again in the a.aspx I want
something like:

sub method
    'on button click
    dim something as string
    something = "the button has been clicked"
end sub

But obviously it won't work just like that. so how do I do that???

I hope this explains what I need. Thanks for helping in advance.

Are you still havign trouble with your transaction log ?

I understand you want a permanent fix to your transaction log file growing, but there is no "fix" to your problem. This is normal operation of a database, each time a record is inserted/updated/deleted, there is a before and after image of the record written to the transaction log so that you can either rollback the transaction or apply re-do logs after a database crash. You can't prevent transaction logs from growing, you just need to know how to manage them.

For example, the most basic management of SQL db could be implemented as follows:
1) Set the recovery model to "simple"
2) Each night, perform a full backup of the database.
3) Truncate the transaction log file

Also, you may want to review the following TechNet article ...

How to stop the transaction log of a SQL Server database from growing unexpectedly

But if it increasing by certain amount then it's fine but it increased to 200 GB or more in few weeks time bringing it to 450GB or so which is just bizzar. We are using recovery model to full - could this be an issue ??
