I do not have access to an IIS development server — only the production

  • 0

I do not have access to an IIS development server — only the production one. So, for my development, I have to use the ASP.NET Development Server thats built into Visual Studio. I get Failure to send message when I have the SMTP client configured this way.

SmtpClient.Host = 'localhost'; SmtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.SpecifiedPickupDirectory; SmtpClient.PickupDirectoryLocation = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath('~/MessagesSent/');

Is there any way I can use the Development server to drop off messages so I can test them?

Edit: Or is there another way I can test sending an e-mail on the Development Server?

  1. My ~/MessagesSent/ did not exist. That was the problem.
