  1. I'm using VS 2002 vb .net
    I want to use
    • aspNetEmail v3
    • aspNetPOP3 v2
    • aspNetMime v2


    Are these free? Do I need to purchase something from the Advanced Intellect?


    Exactly how do I proceed? I tried the way the KB articles suggested with to no avail.


    If they are free and I do not need to purchase anything, how do I add it to VS so I can use it.





    Thanks







    Thank you

    These components are installed on all webservers and are available for use by all DiscountASP.NET customers.

    If you wish to develop on your own computer, then you can either use the evaluation versions for short-term use or you can purchase the component from Advanced Intellect for long term use.

  3. OK so they are free.


    I use VS 2002 (VB) to edit/develope my website (hosted on discountasp).


    How do I get to use them in the code behind (VB)?





    Thanks


    Thank you

  7. Thanks
    I went to to the advanced intellect website they told me I did everything correct and sent me back to discount to ask about the license.
    they had a slightly different way but i'm getting the same errors.
    I followed the directions on
    Q10184 - FAQ: How can I reference the ASP.net components installed on your server with VS.net?
    got error "file or dependancies not find."
    So i searched for that error anddecided to try to put the refference in the web.config to see if that would fix the problem but it didn't. I removed it from web.config
    *************************
    <compilation>






    <assemblies>


    <add assembly="aspNetEmail, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bc571e8da1c1f543"/>


    </assemblies>


    </compilation>


    *************************************


    It works from the local reference but still getting "file or dependancies not find


    Any ideas?


    Thanks again for your time and patients


    Tony




    Thank you

    Does the non-code behind version work? Can you try it?

  9. Yes I tried the non code behind version and was able to make it work (interesting that I sent email via discountasp website mail server and did not need a password!)


    I then went back to the code VS version and again unble to locate license.





    Thanks





    Thank you

  11. I'm having a similar problem with aspNetEmail v3, but I may know the answer.


    I followed the article http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10184, yet I still get an error on my page.


    Here's what I think is going on: The trial version of aspNetEmail currently offered for download is version 3.1.5.0 . Perhaps this version is not the same version that is installed at DiscountAsp? Perhaps only 3.0.x is installed and therefore my reference does not match the software installed at DiscountAsp?


    Comments? Suggestions? What should I do next?
     
  12. The aspNetEmail version 3 license is already installed on the web servers, which is also valid for any minor version including 3.1.5.0. However, only version 3.0 is installed in the GAC. So, if you are using the 3.1.5.0 dll version, you will need to put a copy of that dll in the bin of the web application. In VS.net, you will need to set Copy Local to True so that the dll copy is included. At runtime it will automatically search for the license that's already configured in the machine.config and should work and will not expire.

    aspNetPOP3 is installed in the same way.
