System.Net.Mail.SmtpFailedRecipientException: Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay

20 May

I have got this issue many times, when I try to send email using smtp. There can be several causes for this. You have to allow relay for mail to be sent to outside servers like gmail.com. For sending mail within your server you don’t have to do this. You can find some helps from the following links:
Help1
Help2
Help3

The code I have used is given below:

using System.Net.Mail;

SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
smtpClient.Port = 25;
smtpClient.Host = “smtp.domain.com”;
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(“webmail username”, “webmail password”);
message.From = new MailAddress(“webmail username”);
message.To.Add(“test@gmail.com”);
string emailBody = “Hi,

Welcome

“;
message.Body = emailBody;
message.Subject = “testing”;
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
smtpClient.Send(message);

But, after making the changes on the server, as specified on the above links, I was still getting the same error. Then I added the following line in between the above code.
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;

Then the error was gone.

specifying ValidationGroup in Page_ClientValidate function

13 Mar

Hi,

We know that, Page_ClientValidate function tests if all controls meet asp.net validation criteria. This function is provided by asp.net. But, if we use more than, one validation group in the page, we may have to specify the validation group, we want to validate. For that, give like given below:
Page_ClientValidate(‘ValGroupName’)

Then, it will validate only for that validation group

 
 

To access control of a User Control from an aspx page

03 Mar

Whenever you want to access the controls of an usercontrol, create public properties for those controls in your usercontrols and you could easily access them in your .aspx page.

Here it goes how…
UserControl.

1 public partial class WebUserControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
2 {
3 public string TextBoxValue {
4 get { return TextBox1.Text; }
5 set { TextBox1.Text = value; }
6 }
7 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
8
9 }
10 }

In your .aspx page you can access it either html or code
<%@ Register TagPrefix="DS" TagName="TB" Src="~/WebUserControl.ascx" %>

or

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
myTB1.TextBoxValue = “Sample Text”;
}
}

Ajax and UpdatePanel performance improvement

24 Jan

Most of the newbie programmers like me are ajaxifying a site by putting updatepanels all over the site. Now, I came to know that, putting updatepanel will not help you to improve your site’s speed. We are using it, since it is very easy. You can understand why ajax updatenpanels should be avoided from the following link

Why UpdatePanel Dangerous

If you still want to use updatepanel, check the following link to speed up the updatepanel performance.

Speeding up UpdatePanel

Also, you can use a dll, scriptreferenceprofiler, to find the ajax scripts used in a page and combine them, so that, only that script requests will be used in that specific page, which reduces the loading time. You can understand how to use it from the following msdn video.

Script Combining

You can download ScriptReferenceProfile from the following url
Download

Use them as follows

Add reference to the dll.
<%@ Register Assembly="ScriptReferenceProfiler" Namespace="ScriptReferenceProfiler" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
