Can VW7.2 call VB 6 or a .NET DLL

Can anyone confirm that VW7.2 can connect with a .NET dll?

Also...is there VW7.2 documentation for this?

Thanks,

Can VW7.2 call VB 6 or a .NET DLL

Dear Igor,

to communicate with a .NET application you have several options:

- web services

- COM Connect if your VB app offers a COM interface or can use the .NET-COM bridge (of help could be to use the third party add-on tool to Com Connect JOOPS SmallCOM/X http://www.joops.com/)

- DotNetConnect which is shipped with VisualWorks 7.2 as a beta (see the preview directory)

[7.4.1]Problem sending email using SMTP

In reply to this post by Dmytryk, Igor

When sending a message using:

mail := Net.MailMessage new.
mail
from: '[hidden email]';
to: toEmail;
bcc: '[hidden email]';
subject: subject;
text: message.
mail send

I got the following error.

Failed to encode the body source with: 'us-ascii'

The culprit seems to be the following word in the message body.

François

So, what should I do to fix this?

Don't have that handy in front of me, but I seem to recall seeing #charset: on messages.

The following snippet is derived from one of our apps:

(Net.MailMessage newTextPlain)
charset: Net.MimeTypeDescriptor iso8859x1;
subject: 'Umlaut Email';
text: '<myText with european umlauts öäüéè>';
yourself.

As Boris pointed out, the charset: message does the trick. However, for
asian languages, the example is still not appropriate!

Good luck

Re: [7.4.1]Problem sending email using SMTP

Thanks. That does get rid of the error, but it also gets rid of all the
formatting. Now the message arrives as a single line of text. :-/

Re: [7.4.1]Problem sending email using SMTP

OK, but you can extend your email by implementing the tiny method
'buildHtmlBody' (;-) and then use the following:

(Net.MailMessage newTextHTML)
charset: Net.MimeTypeDescriptor iso8859x1;
subject: 'Umlaut Email';
text: self buildHtmlBody;
yourself.

There is the doc/NetClientDevGuide.pdf, but it's quickly getting out of date, especially with the recent "streaming" improvements throughout the MIME and HTTP frameworks. I'd like to move most of that content into the package comments and start updating it there. There's already some of it on recent versions of MIME package, but that's just a start. There's also a number of updates and examples in the class comments as well. The updates started with the HTTP changes in 7.5 and MIME and Mail changes coming in the next version of VW (also available immediately in the public repository).

Re: [7.4.1]Problem sending email using SMTP

This way, you can format your email body in more complex ways. The
plainText version should only allow SPACE, CR and TAB for formatting
(OK, I mean the respective characters from the ASCII charSet). At least
that was my assumption!

RE: [7.4.1]Problem sending email using SMTP

I took a brute force approach for sending logs: (the VW copyright
character causes the same error)...

CharacterArray>>encodedAs: anEncoding

"Trap out-of-encoding characters and replace them with ?'s."

| stream |

stream :=
((ByteArray new: self size) withEncoding: anEncoding)
writeStream.
[stream nextPutAll: self] on: UnsupportedCharacterError
do:
[: ex |
stream nextPut: $?.
ex resume].

^stream encodedContents

...
message := Net.MailMessage newTextPlain.
text := aText asString encodedAs: 'ascii'.
...

Cheers,

Stewart

Flexibility is great, but the most common cases should just work out of the
box. I can't see any reason why I should need to be sending mail in HTML
format just to combine non US characters and line breaks. This should be
fixed.

RE: [7.4.1]Problem sending email using SMTP

I am wondering if this code will work for you.

message := Net.MailMessage new
from: '"xx"<[hidden email]>';
to: '"yy"<[hidden email]>';
subject: 'document';
yourself.
part := MimeEntity newTextPlain.
part
charset: 'utf-8';
contents: 'Božidar Šlapetko Cincom(tm)';
addContentTransferEncoding: 'base64'.
message addPart: part.
stream := ((ByteArray new: 1024) withEncoding: #ISO8859_1) readWriteStream lineEndCRLF.
message writeOn: stream.
stream reset; contents
