Using aspNetMime from a Non-Visual Studio .NET environment.

Summary

The following steps will demonstrate how to use aspNetMime in a non-Visual Studio .NET environment. For this ASP.NET application to work successfully you will need FTP access or file share access to your website.

As an example, this this tutorial will discuss creating an ASP.NET page that connects to a POP3 server, using aspNetPOP3 ( www.aspNetPOP3.com ), downloads a message, and displays the message contents in the ASP.NET page.

Uploading aspNetMime to your ASP.NET application

1. FTP (or through file sharing) connect to your web application.

2. Locate the /Bin directory. If there isn't a directory named Bin you will need to create it under the root directory.

3. Upload the aspNetMime.dll to the /Bin directory. By default, the aspNetMime.dll can be found in c:\Program Files\advancedintellect\aspNetMime.

4. Repeat these same steps to set a reference to the aspNetPOP3.dll. aspNetPOP3 can be downloaded from www.aspNetPOP3.com

Creating a Sample Page

Once the aspNetMime and aspNetPOP3 has been uploaded, you will be able to create a test ASP.NET page. The following steps will demonstrate this, using both C# and VB.NET.

1. To create a sample page, called GetMessage.aspx, start Notepad.

2. If you are using C# as your development language, enter the following code. If you are using VB.NET, that code can be found in the next step.

4. This code will connect to the POP3 server specified by

[C#]

POP3 pop = new POP3( "127.0.0.1", "dave@blah.com", "mypassword" );.

[Visual Basic]

Dim pop As POP3 = New POP3("127.0.0.1", "dave@blah.com", "mypassword")

Once connected, the pop object will retrieve the message by executing

[C#]

MimeMessage m = pop.GetMessage(0);, and disconnect from the server.

[Visual Basic]

Dim m As MimeMessage = pop.GetMessage(0)

Once the message has been created, the litTo, litFrom, and litSubject literal tags are populated with the their respective Message headers. The litContents tag is populated with the message body. The attachment collection is checked, and if any attachments are found, their names are added to the litAttachments tag.

5. Save this file as getmessage.aspx and upload it to your web application.
Note: You will need to change the Server, Username and Password properties to reflect your local mail server and email addresses.

6. Open Internet Explorer (or a suitable web browser) and navigate it to your website and view the getmessage.aspx (for example http://localhost/getmessage.aspx).

7. If at least 1 message is available at the POP3 server, it will be downloaded and displayed in the browser.

Summary

That's all there is to using aspNetMime from a Non - Visual Studio .NET environment. In these few simple steps you were able to create an email and send it from an ASP.NET page.
