  1. POhow to send a confirmation email in asp.net, cannot get IIS pickup directory error
    text
    copied!<p>I want to send a confirmation email to user in registration page. The following code is the related part:</p> <pre><code>try { SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient(); System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(); string Ema = u.UserMail.ToString(); MailAddress gonderen = new MailAddress("admin@gmail.com", "Hello"); sc.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; sc.Port = 587; mail.To.Add(Ema); mail.Subject = "Confirmation Message"; mail.From = gonderen; mail.IsBodyHtml = true; mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-9"); mail.Body = "&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;"; sc.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis; sc.Send(mail); MESSAGE(true, "Sending mail is successful"); } catch (Exception) { MESSAGE(true, "Sending mail is unsuccessful!"); } </code></pre> <p>But it does not send an email to related user. I have looked at forums and I added to web.config the following part:</p> <pre><code> &lt;system.net&gt; &lt;mailSettings&gt; &lt;smtp from="myaddress@gmail.com "&gt; &lt;network host="smtp.gmail.com" defaultCredentials="false" port="587" userName ="myaddress@gmail.com" password="password" /&gt; &lt;/smtp&gt; &lt;/mailSettings&gt; &lt;/system.net&gt; </code></pre> <p>But anything didn't change. Then i have debugged and it enters into the try statement and when it comes to <code>sc.Send(mail);</code>, it drops to catch. Where is my mistake?</p> <p>Additionally, during debug i realized that it shows this error: <code>cannot get IIS pickup directory</code>. I have controlled whether I have a smtp service or not from services but i couldn' t see this service. Is this error related to that service?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
