Hi Mates

I have this issue and dont know how to resolve it on my Register ActionResult, kindly please assist me.

[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.UserName };
user.Email = model.Email;
user.ConfirmedEmail = false;
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
msg.To.Add("[email protected]");
msg.Subject = "test";
msg.Body = "Test Content";
using (SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient())
{
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "Mohali@5050");
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.Port = 587;
// client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.Send(msg); // This gets thrown as an error, yes google settings are set all of them.
}
return RedirectToAction("Confirm", "Account", new { Email = user.Email });
}
else
{
AddErrors(result);
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form 478216
return View(model);
}

Hi Siddharth to some reason its not full working, i send a request and got a confirmation sent to this email address [email protected], but i have not received any test email to this account. I dont think it works well please do check as well on your side. Also i notice it does not do any operation to the database table for the Users.

I think your code will also work but it needs some changes let me copy this and try it for you

Try the below code it will work
public void sendEmail(MailMessage objMailMessage, string email_from, string email_frmpwd, IConfiguration iconfiguration)
       {
           try
           {
               System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
               SmtpClient objSmptpClient = new SmtpClient();
               objSmptpClient.Host = iconfiguration["Host"];
               objSmptpClient.Port = int.Parse(iconfiguration["Port"].ToString());
               objSmptpClient.EnableSsl = bool.Parse(iconfiguration["EnableSSL"].ToString());
               objSmptpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
               objSmptpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(email_from, email_frmpwd);
               objSmptpClient.Send(objMailMessage);
           }
           catch (SmtpFailedRecipientsException ex)
           {
               Convert.ToInt32((ex.Message));
           }
       }
