Trying to send mail

[Sachin Gusain]

Hi,

I am trying to send an email with attachments(these attachments are in
temporary folder) in ASP.NET using classes defined in System.Web.Mail
Namespace.

I dont have SMTP service installed on my machine.
When I invoke "Send" method of SMTPMail class it throws exception and in
"Finally" block I try deleting the temporary folder using
Directory.Delete(path,True).
The "Delete" command throws "System.IO.IOException: The directory is not
empty.".

Can someone please throw some light?

What's "the temporary folder"?

Sending an attachment doesn't remove it from your machine!
Even after the Send, the attachments will /still/ be in the temporary
folder - you'll have to delete them yourself.

Well, the temporary folder is being created in "c" drive of my machine.
In case "Send" method gives and exception, I am unable to delete the folder
with Directory.Delete method.

The temporary folder is being created in "C" drive of my machine.
When "Send" throws an exception, I try to delete the folder in "Finally"
block using "Directory.Delete which again throws the exception preventing me
from deleting the temporary folder.
