Examples

The following code example demonstrates an ASP.NET page that uses a ChangePassword Web control, and includes an event handler for the SendingMail event named SendingMail. The 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.

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 email 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.

  <h1>Your password for the account named &quot;<%Username%>&quot; has changed.</h1>  

  <p>  
  If you did not initiate this change, please call 1-206-555-0100.

Remarks

The EmbeddedMailObjectsCollection stores references to items that will be embedded in an email message. The embedded items can be image files such as company logos. The EmbeddedMailObjectsCollection is used by the EmbeddedObjects property of the MailDefinition object.

Email messages that allow embedded objects are configurable in the following Web controls by setting their MailDefinition properties declaratively:

Note

The values in the EmbeddedMailObject and EmbeddedMailObjectsCollection objects are not stored in view state. This protects against malicious users discovering path information for your server.
