Can't send mail?

[brett]

I'm getting this error when I try to send mail from my local machine:

The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid.

Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The
"SendUsing" configuration value is invalid

Here is the code I'm using:

string emailTo = "(e-mail address removed)";
string emailFrom = "(e-mail address removed)";
string emailSubject = "Message Inquiry";
string emailBody = "body here";
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(emailFrom, emailTo, emailSubject,
emailBody);

When I upload this to the web server, I don't get an error but I don't
get mail either. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brett

Brett,

What language?

IF vb; where are your dim statements and
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" %>

I thought by the syntax it was implied this is C#. Here are the using
statements:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.Mail;

What else do you need to see?

Thanks,
Brett

The 2003 method for sending SMTP mail is obsolete, I think the compiler
should give you a warning on that. You should now use the System.Net.Mail
rather then the System.Web.Mail. I can not say if this is the problem, as
the compile is a warning and not an error, but regardless, you should
probably convert you code to use the new namespace and methods.

I don't have the Mail in the namespace System.Net.

Which version of C# do you have?

I was originally using that code. It doesn't work either. This
started about 5 days ago. I've made code changes since and not sure
what triggered it. I can't rule out something may be wrong with the
mail server. I've sent my hosting service an email asking but haven't
heard back.

Thanks,

Brett,

try this

//------------code starts-------------------
System.Web.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
mail.To = "(e-mail address removed)";
mail.From = "(e-mail address removed)";
mail.Subject = "this is a test email.";
mail.Body = "this is my test email body";
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "whatever your smtp server name is";
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(mail);
//-----------end code----------------------------
