Retry a task automatically

[prabodha]

Hi..

I m senging email notifications through my ASP.net application to a set of
users. The requirement is such dat when the user posts a new request (the system is a helpdek system) , the administrator and 2 technicians have to get notified.The system creates a new mailMessage object and sends out
the email. But my problem is , in case this mailing funtionality fails, how can I make the application retry sending emails?
If i am to keep track if the notifications are not sent, at which point can i put the retry sending mails function, like at the page_load, application_start etc.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

In case you get error while sending the mails , you can handle that error using Try and Catch statement in the same procedure.
e.g.

Sub SendMail()
Try
//here your mail sending code is there
Catch ex as Exception
//call the function to resend the mail
End Try
End Sub

I va used the try, catch method in the mailSender method, but that guarantees the sending of the current message only ie. I m calling the same method 3 times to notify 3 users. There can be a case where only 1-2 users get the notification. I want to make sure all three get notified.Will putting all 3 addresses in the To collection of mailMessage will be a solution? Even if that works may I know if there's any other method of calling a function (retry calling a function) automatically in ASP.net . (like calling windows services etc. )
