All,

One of the best things Microsoft ever did was to be able to send mail over the web instead of using a default email program.

I have an ASP application that I really, really want to put into ASP.NET.

The only downside is that I use SMTPsvg.Mailer in ASP.

The reason is that I want to send multiple emails dynamically from a table through the web.

Many of the users of this app can't use their default mail program for various reasons. That's why I used the SMTPsvg.Mailer.

Can anyone help? I've been looking forever and can't find a solution. This is very important so I can move over the apps.

Thanks
Donna

Keep it as ASP. The two code sets can run perfectly happily on the same server and on the same site AND on the same pages.

Hmm.... I really want to put it into ASP.NET for a ton of reasons.

If worse comes the worse, I can just use the sendMail part in ASP.

Can ASP and ASP.NET read the same session variables? That is, if a session variable was created with ASP.NET, can ASP read it?

No. This is entirely different.

You can work around it in a number of ways. The last time I had to, in the ASP rub 2 sticks for fire application, I had to make a new page that would expose particular session variables as XML. The page would only work when it was requested from the same IP as the server itself, and a few other things. Then I would request that page from ASPX, and tie the sessions together.

There are frameworks for doing the same thing, but using SQL to share session state. Some are free and some are overpriced.

I don't have much experience with sending email in this manner, but can ask around for you.
