I am getting the error

'desktop_login_CreateAccount.Createuserwizard1_SendingMail(object,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.MailMessageEventArgs)' is inaccessible due to its
protection level

when I compile code that tries to send an email to a new user (as outlined
here:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.v90/MS.VSIPCC.v90/MS.MSSDK.1033/MS.NETFX30SDK.1033/cpref27/html/T_System_Web_UI_WebControls_CreateUserWizard.htm
)

I have already configured mailsettings through the smtp section of the
web.config file.

How do set the protection level so that the application can send this email?

Hi jrl,

The error message you got indicate that the following method is not
accessible(by ASP.NET runtime) due to its protection level:

"desktop_login_CreateAccount.Createuserwizard1_SendingMail"

the protection level here means the "private", "protected", "public"
access control you used to decorate a method. If you do not specify one, it
is marked as private by default which may cause the ASP.NET runtime unable
to call it. I suggest you try mark it with "protected" or "public" to see
whether it works.

Here are two threads which have mentioned this:

Thanks very much.
protected void Createuserwizard1_SendingMail(object sender,
MailMessageEventArgs e)
was the proper format.

I was curious how this problem was introduced, since I thought I took it
from ms-help. I took it from within a structure like:
<script runat="server">
void ...
</script>

which suggests that the script context somehow changes this default private
setting to something protected or public.

Thanks for your reply.

About the difference between the same function in aspx inline <script>
section, it is a bit more complex. This is related to the ASP.NET page's
compilation model, functions defined in aspx inline tempate are compiled
into the final executing Page class. While function in codebehind are in a
base class(also dynamically generate at runtime). Therefore, if functions
in codebehind class is marked as private, it will not be visible to the
aspx compiled class(executing page class). This is a potential problem when
you use codebehind function as control's event handler(need to make them
protected or public).
