Trying to send mail

[Guest]

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?

"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.".

What's "the temporary folder"?

Maybe you should look to solving this one first ... ? But anyway ...

in "Finally" block I try deleting 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.

HTH,

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.
