Return the exception in the form of String format...!

[WebMethod]
Public string SendMail()
{
try
{
return "mail sent";
}
Catch(Exception ie)
{
return ie.Message;
}
}

Hi, Your method is very simple but when I tried to send the mail using webservice I tried like: testingservice service=new testingservice; string message=service.send mail(,,,.....parameters); where as I have declared the web service as [WebMethod] Public string SendMail(,,,.....parameters) { try { return "mail sent"; } Catch(Exception ie) { return ie.Message; } } I get an error and the application fails to rebuild Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.IAsyncResult' to 'string' Please reply

Thanks Shankbond

Hi, You misunderstood i think..! You have to write a web method for sending mail

[WebMethod]
Public string SendMail(,,,.....parameters)
{
try
{
//You Have to Write the logic for sending mail..!
return "mail sent";
}
Catch(Exception ie)
{
return ie.Message;
}
}

if you wrote the logic for sending the mail show me the code..!

Hi, here is the code:

protected void Button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
testingservice service = new testingservice();
AsyncCallback callback = new AsyncCallback(hello);
service.BeginSendMailGmail1(TextBoxto.Text.ToString(), TextBoxcc.Text.ToString(), TextBoxbcc.Text.ToString(), TextBoxbody.Text.ToString(), TextBoxsubject.Text.ToString(), TextBoxusername.Text.ToString(), TextBoxpassword.Text.ToString(), TextBoxserver.Text.ToString(), TextBoxport.Text.ToString(), TextBoxdisplayname.Text.ToString(),callback,sender);
Response.Redirect("default4.aspx");
}

here is the other method but it will always be completed =true

void hello(IAsyncResult result)
{
if (!result.IsCompleted)
{
Response.Write("failed");
}
}

the code for webservice:

[WebMethod]

public string  SendMailGmail1(string To, string Cc, string Bcc, string body,string subject, string user\_name, string password, string server\_name, string portnumber, string display\_name)
{
   
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
    client.Port = Convert.ToInt32(portnumber);
    client.Host = server\_name;
    client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
    client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(user\_name, password);
    client.EnableSsl = true;
    try
    {
        message = new MailMessage(new MailAddress(user\_name, display\_name), new MailAddress(To));
        if (Cc != "")
        {
            string\[\] array1 = Cc.Split(',');
            for (int i = 0; i < array1.Length; i++)
            {
                message.CC.Add(array1\[i\].ToString());
            }

        }
        if (Bcc != "")
        {
            string\[\] array2 = Bcc.Split(',');
            for (int i = 0; i < array2.Length; i++)
            {
                message.Bcc.Add(array2\[i\].ToString());
            }

        }

        message.Body = body;
        message.Subject = subject;
        message.IsBodyHtml = true;
        client.Send(message);
        message.Dispose();
        return "sent successfully";
        
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return ex.Message.ToString() + "----" + ex.InnerException.ToString();
    }
}

Thanks Shan

I dont Understand why you need asychronous? here is sample code i developed now Modify your code depending on your requirement...!

//For WebService
[WebMethod]
public string SendMail()
{
try
{
MailMessage msg=new MailMessage ("From@xxx.com","To@xxx.com","Sub","body");
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("YourDomain", 25);
client .Send (msg);
return "hai";
}
catch (Exception ie)
{
return ie.Message ;
}
}

For Calling Webservice..!

localhost.WebService rss = new localhost.WebService();
string msg=rss.SendMail();
Response.Write(msg);

I am Going Bye May the group will help if you need further assistance..!:thumbsup:
