    <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>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
