Question

Whats the equivalent asp.net/c# code for this php code?

Answer 1

+1 A:

You're looking for the SmtpClient class and the Request object.

Answer 2

A:

First we have a standard ASPX page listening for people to post to it. (You could also use a ASHX handler but I won't get into that)

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <script type="text/C#" runat="server">
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var systemValue = Request.Form["system"];
            var nameValue = Request.Form["name"];
            var idValue = Request.Form["object_id"];
            var verifierValue = Request.Form["verifier"];

            var subject = string.Format("{0} Event: {1}", systemValue, nameValue);
            string body;

            if ( nameValue.Equals("callback verify", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) )
                    body = string.Format("\n{0} just happened on {1}\n\nVerification token: {2}\n", nameValue, systemValue, verifierValue );
            else
                    body = string.Format("\n{0} just happened on {1} for id: {2}\n", nameValue, systemValue, idValue);

            var email = new MailMessage(
                    new MailAddress( "[email protected]")
                    , new MailAddress( "[email protected]") )
                            {
                                Subject = subject, Body = body
                            };

            var smtpServer = new SmtpClient();
            smtpServer.Send( email );
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Now, somewhere else, presumably in your postbin.org page, you need an HTML page that posts to another. Something like:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form action="Default.aspx" method="post">  
        <input type="text" id="system" name="system" />
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name" />
        <input type="text" id="object_id" name="object_id" />
        <input type="text" id="verifier" name="verifier" />

        <input type="submit" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>

In this standard Html page, I'm setting the form action to post to my ASPX page. When that happens, the Page_Load event on the ASPX page will fire and send the email (assuming the email settings are configured in the ASPX page's web.config file).

How would I put this into a web or windows service to read from postbin.org for example?

Xaisoft 2010-03-25 16:27:11

This could be done via a code-behind page on a basic ASP.NET page or done via a handler page.

Thomas 2010-03-25 16:34:12

ok in my code behind, how would i tell it that i want it to read request from postbin.org

Xaisoft 2010-03-25 16:47:04

You would post *to* the page that contains the above code-behind from somewhere else. When that happens, the above code will read the post via Request.Form.

Thomas 2010-03-25 16:59:55

Expanding a bit, your postbin.org needs to post to an ASP.NET aspx page that contains the above code in say its Page_Load event.

Thomas 2010-03-25 17:01:31

I kind of understand that, but I am not sure how to set it up.

Xaisoft 2010-03-25 17:05:09

Updated my post to better explain.

Thomas 2010-03-25 17:45:53

Ok that is a better explanation, so basically I need postbin.org to post to my aspx page, I can just read directly from postbin.org

Xaisoft 2010-03-25 18:02:31

Correct. Said another way, you can read from anything that posts to the aspx page including postbin.org.

Thomas 2010-03-25 18:06:52

Answer 3

A:

To get the request values you would do something like this

string myValue = Request.Form["MyPostArgument"];

You can then use the string.format class to setup the messages

string subject = string.format("{0} Event: {1}", mySystem, myEvent);

You then need to use the SmtpClient and MailMessage objects to build out the e-mail.
