Initializes a new instance of the EmbeddedMailObject class.

Overloads

EmbeddedMailObject()	Initializes a new instance of the EmbeddedMailObject class.
EmbeddedMailObject(String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the EmbeddedMailObject class, using the specified identifier name and path to populate the object.

EmbeddedMailObject()

Initializes a new instance of the EmbeddedMailObject class.

public:
 EmbeddedMailObject();

public EmbeddedMailObject ();

Public Sub New ()

Remarks

To get or set the identifier of the embedded item, use the Name property. To get or set the path to the embedded item, use the Path property. Both properties must be set to successfully embed the item in the mail message.

Applies to

EmbeddedMailObject(String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the EmbeddedMailObject class, using the specified identifier name and path to populate the object.

public:
 EmbeddedMailObject(System::String ^ name, System::String ^ path);

public EmbeddedMailObject (string name, string path);

new System.Web.UI.WebControls.EmbeddedMailObject : string * string -> System.Web.UI.WebControls.EmbeddedMailObject

Public Sub New (name As String, path As String)

Parameters

name: String

The name used as the identifier of the item to embed in the mail message. For more information, see Name.

path: String

The path used to retrieve an item to embed in the mail message. For more information, see Path.

Examples

The following code example shows a code-behind example of an ASP.NET page that uses a ChangePassword control, and includes an event handler for the SendingMail event named SendingMail. This code example assumes that the ASP.NET Web site has been configured to use ASP.NET membership and Forms authentication, and that a user has been created whose name and password are known to you. For more information, see How to: Implement Simple Forms Authentication.

If the password change succeeds, the code in the SendingMail event handler attempts to send an email message to the user to confirm the change. SMTP must already be configured on the server in order for this code example to work. For information about how to configure an SMTP server, see How to: Install and Configure SMTP Virtual Servers in IIS 6.0. For the purposes of this example, it is not necessary to configure an SMTP server; the example is constructed to test for a failure to send an email message.

If a mail server is not configured correctly or some other error occurs and the email message cannot be sent, the SendMailError function is called. A message is displayed to the user. In addition, an event is logged to the Windows Application event log with the assumption that an event source named MySamplesSite already exists. See the code example below to create the specified event source. For more information about creating an event source, see Server Event Handling in ASP.NET Web Forms Pages. The Handled property of the SendMailErrorEventArgs object is set to true to indicate that the error has been handled.

The following code example demonstrates using an .aspx page.

Use the following code example if you need to programmatically add the event source named MySamplesSite to your Application log. This event source must exist in order for the first code example to work correctly. The following code example requires Administrator privileges.

Important

Sending user account names or passwords in an email message is a potential security threat. Email messages are typically sent in plain text and can be read by special network "sniffing" applications. To improve security, use the mitigations that are described in Securing Login Controls.
