Re: From my VB 2005 express Form. Want to send EMail


Again, I ask: what is "theMessage" ? Are you using Outlook automation
to send the e-mail? Or what? You need to define this to be what it is.
So if it's a part of outlook, it needs to be defined as (for example)
Outlook.Item.Body (or whatever it is).

You can get the PC's drive list by using DirectoryInfo. Just FYI.

What is the error you're getting on the Copy routine?

The progress bar won't change unless you change it. If you
are doing the Copy of the files in one command, you can't
change the progress bar. I would recommend changing
the mouse cursor to the hourglass if you're not already
doing that, so the user knows something is happening.

The place where it gives me my first squiggly line is:
theMessage.body = sb.ToString
The place that fails when I try to run program now is:
sb.Append(Form4Bio1.TextBox5.Text) It causes an Exceptionnothandled
problem.

RobinS, I am trying to include the PC's Drives list in my E-Mail.
I never could find a routine that allowed me to place the Drives on a PC
to
a Text box. I had to use a ListBox to place them. Now I want to send the
E-Mail with
the PC's info I gathered in the TextBox and append the Drive list which is
in the ListBox. That explains why I am trying to send E-Mail with PC info.
I
was a few years ago a Technical Support Engineer for Novell Network
Systems.
We sure needed this program I am making now that sends us an E-Mail with
all
the PC info several years ago. I still have buddies working in that same
field and want to give it to them to use to make their job more accurate
and
helpful. You helped me to solve the sending of E-Mails. That works perfect
now. It is just the content of that E-Mail that I am trying to make better
and work. Thanks again. I am having one other problem in the same E-Mail
alert program other than the Notice of what PC Drives ar installed. It is
a
sub-directory of programs and files on a CD-Rom that I want to copy over
from
the Cd-Rom to their C:\ Harddrive. It worked once when the Sub Directory
was
empty. But now it won't work if I want to do it later to update a file for
the potential customer. Here is my listing of copydirectory. It gives me
an
error exception now. I even tried eraseing the Sub-Directory and it still
gave me an exception error.

'Dim SourceDirectoryName As String = ("D:\RAutoBio")
'Dim DestinationDirectoryName As String = ("C:\RAutoBio")
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("D:\RAutoBio", _
"C:\RAutoBio", True)
ProgressBar1.Show()
Form4Bio1.TextBox5.Text = Form4Bio1.TextBox5.Text & vbCrLf & ("
Copying Files in progress. ")
'showUI [, onUserCancel]))
'My.Computer.FileSystem.AllDialogs()
'showUI [, onUserCancel])
'showUI [, onUserCancel])

RobinS, The surprising thing about my above program is that it gives me
the
exception error but goes ahead and copies the entire Cd-Rom sub-directory
to
the C:\ drive. right where I want it. I erased all files and I did it
again
and it worked
except I never saw a progress bar. Only the exception error. Thanks. I
have another button that checkes for the existance of my needed
SubDirectory.
It works good. I also have still another button that will generate the
Sub-Directory if one does not exist. Thanks Professor Yonce..

Thanks RobinS, I changed the Dim to Object and now get an Exception
Null
not
handled by : sb.Append(Form4Bio1.TextBox5.Text).
I must leave for the day and go do some Inspections. Will try again
tonight
when I return. I am an Inspector parttime. Thanks again.

Just define theMessage as Object. What is it really, though? Is it an
Outlook component,
i.e. the body of the message? If so, you need to figure out what to
define
it as, like
some kind of Outlook.Item or something like that? You can try "Object"
and
see if
it works. Everything in .Net if an object, so that should work for
most
anything, although
it's better to use something more specific.

I forgot to give you the listing.

Hi RobinS I tried several things. I have a ListBox on the local
form.
I
switched to it.
Her is my current code listing. I was able to get rid of all
squiggly
lines
except one.
It was theMessage saying it had not been defined so I put a Dim
statement
in.
But I must have it representing a wrong type cause I still get the
one
squiggle line.
Either on theMessage or the Dim. Thanks. If you see my problem
please
let
me know. Right now, My squiggly line says the theMessage.Body is
not a
member
of the dataObject.

Thank you RobinS. I tried your suggestions but can't get it to
work
yet.
I was getting a squiggly line below the StringBuilder word until
I
placed
another
Imports above .. Imports.System.Text Then the next squiggly
line
showed up
under If Form4Bio1.ListBox3 I can't get rid of it yet. I have

You have to use the selected item(s) in the item list. You're
trying
to
concatenate a Listbox.ObjectCollection to a string.

(And although + works, in VB most people use & so there's no
doubt about what it's doing.)

I think you should check and make sure they have selected items
before using the SelectedItem. I would try the following, which
should
work whether they can select 1 item or many.

I'd use a stringbuilder to build the string, for efficiency.

Dim sb as StringBuilder
sb.Append Form4Bio1.TextBox5.Text
If Form4Bio1.Listbox1.ItemsSelected.Count > 0 Then
For Each ListItem as Object in
Form4Bio1.ListBox1.SelectedItems
sb.Append ", "
sb.Append ListItem.ToString
Next
End If
theMessage.Body = sb.ToString
sb = Nothing

You could append a carriage-return linefeed between
the items if you wanted to. Just replace the "," with
ControlChars.CrLf.

Yes RobinS.. It worked. Thank You, Thank You.
I put the Imports line above the Public Class statement just
like
you
said.
I sent three e-mails as planned and Its the very first time I
saw
that
program
work as I planned. Wow! I never knew that before. It Build
fine.
No
errors.
I just saw one little problem I am trying to send the
contents
of
the
TextBox.Text.
It went okay but I also wanted to add one more ListBox.Items
to
send also.
The + between the two did not work. How can I add the
TextBox.Text
plus
the
ListBox.Items to go in the e-mail? Thanks.

The imports have to be above the Public Class statement.
Does that help?

I have made form for E-Mail. I have entered code but the
Import
system
does
not work. It has squiggly line underneath it showing it is
not
communicating.
It Will not build.

Public Class Form3Bio1
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
Imports System.Net.Mail ' This line before ' does not
work.
I have the rest of code to try if and when I am able to
get
System
working.

' I XXX out certain entrys below just for this
publication.

Dim emailSender As SmtpClient
Dim theMessage As MailMessage
Dim SHost As String = ("smtp.XXXXX.com")
Dim Passwd As String = ("Harold45")
Dim Recv As String = ("Inssur@xxxxxxxxxx")
Dim Sndr As String = ("Harold@xxxxxx")
Dim Body As String = (Form4Bio1.TextBox5.Text) +
(Form4Bio1.ListBox1.Items)
emailSender = New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient( _
SHost)

theMessage = New MailMessage
theMessage.From = New MailAddress(Sndr)
theMessage.To.Add(Recv)
theMessage.Subject = (Form4Bio1.TextBox4.Text)
theMessage.password = (Passwd)
theMessage.Body = (Form4Bio1.TextBox5.Text) +
(Form4Bio1.ListBox1.Items)

I have tried Importing the System.Net.Mail but can't find
it.
I
have
.Net
2.0 installed.
My form system just does not allow System nor recognize
the
System.Net
Thanks for your kind help in advance. I do not know how I
can
get my
code
to
recognize Imports.System.Net.Mail.
