Asp.Net 2.0 Net.Mail. I don't know what else to try. Thanks.

Hello,

I am trying to send an email from a form in my web page.

I have the following codes:

...
Dim mailSettings As New
System.Net.Conf iguration.MailS ettingsSectionG roup
Dim smtpClient As New System.Net.Mail .SmtpClient
smtpClient.Host = mailSettings.Sm tp.Network.Host
smtpClient.UseD efaultCredentia ls = False
smtpClient.Port = mailSettings.Sm tp.Network.Port
smtpClient.Deli veryMethod =
System.Net.Mail .SmtpDeliveryMe thod.Network
smtpClient.Cred entials = New
System.Net.Netw orkCredential(m ailSettings.Smt p.Network.UserN ame,
mailSettings.Sm tp.Network.Pass word)

smtpClient.Send (message)
...

And in my Web.Config file I have:

<system.net>
<mailSettings >
<smtp deliveryMethod = "network">
<network defaultCredenti als = "true"
host = "mail.domain.co m"
password = "secret"
port = "25"

userName = "us**@domain.co m" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

I am getting the error:
"ConfigurationS ectionGroup cannot be edited before being added to a
section group belonging to an instance of class Configuration"

I looked for a solution all day and I can't solve this.

Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Miguel

I think what's happening here is you are using the "new" keyword, e.g. you
are trying to create a new section instead of reading the existing one.
Here's a link to the documentation on how you "read" the settings:

Hi,

I solved it this way:

' Create and define the SMTP client
Dim smtpClient As New System.Net.Mail .SmtpClient

' Create access to configuration file
Dim configurationFi le As Configuration =
System.Web.Conf iguration.WebCo nfigurationMana ger.OpenWebConf iguration("~/Web.Config")

' Create mail settings section group
Dim mailSettings As
System.Net.Conf iguration.MailS ettingsSectionG roup =
configurationFi le.GetSectionGr oup("system.net/mailSettings")

' Define smtp client properties
If Not mailSettings Is Nothing Then
With smtpClient
.Port = mailSettings.Sm tp.Network.Port
.Host = mailSettings.Sm tp.Network.Host
.Credentials = New
System.Net.Netw orkCredential(m ailSettings.Smt p.Network.UserN ame,
mailSettings.Sm tp.Network.Pass word)
End With
End If

Thanks,
Miguel
