Re: Email Sender :the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

Hi there,

I have another problem in my code,

this is my code :

private void SendEmail(MailMessage message, MailAddress from)
       {

           SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
           smtpClient.EnableSsl = false;
           smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;

           smtpClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("someone@gmail.com", "password");

           try
           {
               smtpClient.Send(message);

           }
           catch (Exception ex)
           {
               throw new Exception(ex.Message);
           }
           finally
           {
               message.Dispose();
           }
       }

and now I have following exception in line "smtpClient.Send(message)" :

System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Failure sending mail. ---> System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 209.85.143.108:587

is it from my code or my machine or my network or ...?

I alreayd told you what the problem is. There's nothing wrong with your code. You've got a network problem that we cannot solve for you.

Your errors are telling you that the gmail network isn't reachable. That means you've got one or more firewalls blocking traffic to either gmail, or blocking anything on port 587, or you're got much larger network issues to deal with.

There is no code in the world that is going to get around that problem. You either have to have your network administrators fix this, or give up on getting this to work.

Regarding the other post about connectivity.

A simple test for connectivity is the following at the command line.

telnet smtp.gmail.com 587

If the above succeeds you will get a cursor blinking waiting for you to type something (you don't need to type anything, you just need to have it waiting.)

If it doesn't work then it will say something like "connecting..." for a while and then tell you that it timed out, of failed to connect or some other error.

Notice that the above has nothing to do with C# or any other programming language. And until that work nothing you do in C# will make it work.

And I will note that I tried the exact line above and it worked for me. So the host and port are correct.

PING and TRACERTE can also help you in your issues as well.

If you do a PING SMTP.GMAIL.COM and you get no resolve then you know it is a DNS error in your network.
If you do a PING and you get a resolve but then timeout, you might have a firewall issue.

A TRACERTE (not sure of utility name....sorry) will show you how far you go in connecting to the server. It may stop inside your network or you are getting to the firewall and to an external router but no further. In that case your router isn't forwarding it out to the internet.

C# Crystal Reports step by step
A step by step tutorial for beginners who is creating their Crystal Reports for the first time in C#.
All C# Crystal Reports Tutorial in this website is based on the following database - crystaldb. So before you begin this section , please take a look at the database structure of crystaldb - Click Here C# crystaldb
Here we are going to create a new Crystal Reports in C# from Product table in the above mentioned database crystalDB. The Product Table has three fields (Product_id,Product_name,Product_price) and we are showing the whole data from Product table to the C# - Crystal Reports project.
Open Visual Studio .NET and select a new CSharp Windows project.

Now you will get the default Form1.cs.
From the main menu in Visual Studio C# project select PROJECT-->Add New Item . Then Add New Item dialogue will appear and select Crystal Reports from the dialogue box.

Select Report type from Crystal Reports gallery.

Accept the default settings and click OK.
Next step is to select the appropriate connection to your database (here crstaldb). Here we are going to select OLEDB Connection for SQL Server to connect Crystal Reports in C#.
Select OLE DB (ADO) from Create New Connection .

Select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server .

The next screen is the SQL Server authentication screen for connecting to the database - crystalDB. Select your Sql Server name , enter userid , password and select your Database Name .

Click next , Then the screen shows OLE DB Property values , leave it as it is , and then click finish button.

After you click the finish button , the next window you will get your Server name under OLEDB Connection, from there selected database name (Crystaldb) and click the tables , then you can see all your tables from your database.
From the tables list double click the Product table then you can see the Product table will come in the right side list.

Click Next Button
Select all fields from Product table to the right side list .

Click Finish Button. Then you can see the Crystal Reports designer window in your C# project. In the Crystal Reports designer window you can see the selected fields from Product table. You can arrange the field Objects and design of the screen according your requirements. After that your screen is look like the following picture.

Now the designing part is over and the next step is to call the Crystal Reports in your C# application and view it through Crystal Reports Viewer control in C#.
Select the default form (Form1.cs) you created in C# and drag a button and a CrystalReportViewer control to your form .

After you drag the CrystalReportViewer to your form , it will look like the following picture.

You have to include CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine in your C# Source Code.
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
Copy and paste the following source code and run your C# project
Download Source Code
Print Source Code

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
cryRpt.Load(PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\\CrystalReport1.rpt");
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;
crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();
}
}
}

NOTES:
cryRpt.Load(PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\\CrystalReport1.rpt");

The Crystal Reports file path in your C# project file location, there you can see CrystalReport1.rpt . So give the full path name of Crystal Reports file like c:\projects\crystalreports\CrystalReport1.rpt

When you run the source code you will get the report like the following picture.

When you click the button, the application will ask the username and password. Later in this tutorial you can find how to avoid asking username and password - C# Dynamic logon parameters in Crystal Reports
