Hello
I have created a windows service to monitor a database, it starts some
checks when a timer elapses. The checks send emails depending on their
findings. My issue is that when I created a windows application it
worked fine, however I need to use a service as I don't want to rely
on a user being logged in. The errors I get are:
Index #:System.Web.HttpException: Could not access 'CDO.Message'
object. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception
has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --->
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The specified module could not be
found.

I have included System.Web.dll however it seems to be something else.
The code which sends the email is in its own class:
Public Function Send(ByVal toAddress As String, _
ByVal subject As String, _
ByVal body As String, _
Optional ByVal CCAddress As String = "", _
Optional ByVal BCCAddress As String = "") As
Boolean
Debug.Write("Send started")
' initialise return value...
Send = False
' variable which will send the mail...
Dim obj As System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail
' variable to create the message to send...
Dim msgMail As MailMessage = New MailMessage
' set the properties
' assign the SMTP server...
obj.SmtpServer = _appSettings.SMTPServerAddress
' address of the recipient(s)...
If Len(toAddress) > 0 Then msgMail.To = toAddress
If Len(CCAddress) > 0 Then msgMail.Cc = CCAddress
If Len(BCCAddress) > 0 Then msgMail.Bcc = BCCAddress
' the from address...
msgMail.From = _appSettings.EmailFrom
' specify the body format...
msgMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
' add a reply to header...
msgMail.Headers.Add("Reply-To", _appSettings.EmailReplyTo)
' mail subject...
msgMail.Subject = subject
' mail body...
msgMail.Body = body
Try
' call the send method to send the mail...
obj.Send(msgMail)
return True
Catch ex As Exception
Dim errMessage As String
errMessage = "Unable to send email, error details: " _
& "Index #:" & ex.ToString() &
ControlChars.NewLine _
& "Message: " & ex.Message &
ControlChars.NewLine _
& "Inner Exception: " &
ex.InnerException.Message _
& ControlChars.NewLine _
& "Source: " & ex.Source & ControlChars.NewLine
' log error...
_eventlog.WriteToEventLog(errMessage,
EventLogEntryType.Error)
' return failure...
return False
End Try
End Function
Sorry for the long post... Any help appreciated.
Cheers
