.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / March 2008Sending email from webpage
Hey .net 3.5 In my webproject I got a CreateUserWizard which contain this code for sending confirmation email to the registered user: <MailDefinition From="xxxx@yyyyy.zzz" BodyFileName="~/MailFile.txt" Subject="Confirmation"> </MailDefinition> This sends email. But I don't like this solution. Here the senders email address is hard coded into the source code. I want to be able to have senders email address in web.config, so it easily can me modified without the need to recompile the entire project... I'm not sure what is the best tag in web.config for storing the email address... I assume when using web.config, I must skip the MailDefinition tag and instead send email via the behind code... any suggestions? <MailDefinition From=<%= ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["EmailAddress"] %> BodyFileName="~/MailFile.txt" Subject="Confirmation"> </MailDefinition> and in the web.config: <appSettings> <add key="EmailAddress" value="xxxx@yyyyy.zzz" /> </appSettings>  SignatureEliyahu Goldin, Software Developer Microsoft MVP [ASP.NET] http://msmvps.com/blogs/egoldin http://usableasp.net > Hey > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > any suggestions? the code you posted gives me several warnings and errors: from the code you posted I removed a '=' from =<%= ConfigurationManager.AppSettings so I get =<% ConfigurationManager.AppSettings instead... I get fewer errors then, the errors (some are warnings) I get then are listed below: - Code blocks are not supported in this context - Attribute values must be enclosed in quotation marks - Content ('<MailDefinition From=') does not match any properties within a 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.CreateUserWizard', make sure it is well-formed. any suggestions? > <MailDefinition From=<%= ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["EmailAddress"] > %> BodyFileName="~/MailFile.txt" Subject="Confirmation"> [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> >> any suggestions? Oops, I copied it from a different context. The correct syntax for your case is <MailDefinition From="<%$ AppSettings: EmailAddress %>" ... The <appSettings> section in the web.config is correct.
