Hi, I wanted to create a sample proof of concept to ensure I can send emails using wwSMTP within our infrastructure prior to purchasing a license.

Near the start of the wwsmtp_sample.prg is a line

DO wwSmtp

which fails because that .prg is not available within the download. Please can you let me know how I can test this. I'm pretty sure it would work and will purchase a license but don't want to be in a position of having to explain to my boss that I spent company money and then find out there is an issue.

Thanks, Steve

In the shareware version you have to DO wwClient to load all the libraries since there's no source code of the individual files.

Thanks Rick. Apologies for not following the instructions!

Just FYI I had some strange behavior around different versions of wwDotNetBridge.dll contained in the download in different folders. I did follow all instructions at https://webconnection.west-wind.com/docs/Utility-Classes/Class-wwDotnetBridge/Unable-to-load-CLR-Instance-Error.htm

The download there contains v6.21.0.0. The wwClient.zip root contains v8.3.0.0. \Samples\wwDotNetBridge\wwDotNetBridgeTest contains v7.7.0.0.

I finally have it working with v8.3.0.0 and the good news is it works in the locations I need it to so will be letting my boss know to get sign-off to purchase.

Thanks, Steve

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't update the samples, but the "Is this on?" test doesn't require the latest version so that's not updated regularily.

It was a long ways behind though so I updated it. But you should always pull the distributables and code to run out of the root folder which are the actual live library files.
