I'm working on a minor bug from an open source bug tracking system
(bugtracket.net). It's a great app, but I don't want to bother the
creator any more than I have to, so I thought I'd pose the question
here.
The problem is with an email that gets sent from the system. In a
nutshell, it's an HTML format email that is choking on the string that
is returned form this function that is added to the email's body:
string get_bug_text(int bugid)
{
// Get bug html
DataRow bug_dr = get_bug_datarow(bugid);
// Create a fake response and let the code
// write the html to that response
System.IO.StringWriter writer = new System.IO.StringWriter();
HttpResponse my_response = new HttpResponse(writer);
print_bug(my_response, bug_dr);
return writer.ToString();
}
(the print_bug function is at the bottom of thie message.)
I'm sure it's something in the string becasue i can set the body of
the email to something else and it is sent fine. And I've seen the
actual html that comes back and it appears to be ok.
THe error is:
The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error
code was 0x800ccc6a.
And when I look at the actual trace, it's the 'can't access
CDO.message' error. I can post it if someone would find it helpful.
Thanks for any insights!
