Q. Can you tell me in which component, file, etc is it that I configure the mail host that should be used to send out the password reminders.
A.
You can configure mail settings of your application as follows:
- Run Code OnTime Generator and select your project.
- Click Next button a few times until your reach Web Server page in the project wizard.
- Paste the text from the sample below into Web.Config modification instructions field. Make sure to use your own SMTP server settings as values.
- Generate your project. The section system.net will be integrated into Web.Config file of your project whenever you generate the project next time.
InsertAfter: /configuration/connectionStrings
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="ben@contoso.com">
<network
host="localhost"
port="25"
defaultCredentials="true"
/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
Note that InsertAfter instruction will insert the XML snippet just after the connectionStrings section in Web.Config configuration file of your application.
