How to add “Reply-To” in email message created in ASP, ASP.net code

ASP.NETThis post is not to discuss how to create and send emails from your asp, or asp.net code. And I assumed that you already knew how to do so. I just wanted to share with you that how I make “Reply-To” work in asp and asp.net code.

Why do we need the “Reply-To” at the first place? Well, replying to an email message usually sends the response to the person who sent the email. However, there are scenarios where you may want to have the reply go to an alternate email address. For example, if you are sending out emails on web site with the consistent system email address, you may want to have any replies go directly to the person who is responsible on one particular application.

How to display images in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005

visual_studio I had an ASP.net script which calls Crystal Report Viewer to display Crystal Reports, and it had no problem at all till this week. I have a report from the co-worker which has an image inside. But when it shows in ASP.net page, the image place had a broken link. Of course, the rest of report was fine.

After I right clicked the broken link, I saw a URL saying “CrystalImageHandler.aspx?…” something. Since there was no physical CrystalImageHandler.aspx existing in the web server, my understand was that there should be some function of Crystal Report Viewer missed here.

Finally the Google Voice is here

grandcentral Last Month, the news said the Google Voice is coming. And I knew it was the result of acquisition of GrandCentral. Since I am the member of GC, I was expecting a notice from Google to talk about the system transition. Today, the email arrived as I expected.

Hello GrandCentral User,

We are happy to announce that GrandCentral has been upgraded and is relaunching as Google Voice. While not yet open to the public, we wanted to give you, our GrandCentral users, the first opportunity to start using Google Voice.

In addition to the GrandCentral features you already know, we’ve added voicemail transcription, SMS support, conference calling, Goog411, enhanced spam protection and low-priced international calling. We have also integrated GrandCentral with your Google Account and your Google Contacts list.

To upgrade your account to Google Voice, just log in to your GrandCentral account and follow the directions at the top of your inbox. Upon upgrading, your GrandCentral number, PIN, and forwarding phones will be moved to Google Voice.

Note that since Google Voice uses the Google address book, your GrandCentral contacts will not be imported automatically. You can import your GrandCentral address book with these instructions. You will also need to recreate any individual/group settings and greetings.

After you upgrade, all your new voicemails will be accessible at Google Voice, while all prior messages will remain available at GrandCentral.

Thanks for being a great GrandCentral user and we hope you enjoy Google Voice!

Best,

Craig, Vincent, and the Google Voice team
