I need to configure the "Password Recovery" controls to use the SMTP settings contained in the MP_SITESETTINGSEX  table.  I know the standard answer is that this portal feature is an ASP.NET 2.0 built in control, and therefore must configure with the web.config/system.net settings, but there must be someone out there who has found a way to get Mojo Portal to use the dB settings. 

The only solution I can think of is to replace the line in the web config with a C# filestream update and have the user restart the web server. Unfortunately, this solution is rather awkward and did not sit well with the powers that be. Aslo, if there is an error...there goes your web config.

Can anyone please help?

Many thanks. 

P.S. - I know...I need to buy Joe a beer.

Thanks Joe,

Thats what I thought, but it was worth a try. I owe you a few beers.

Thanks.

Hey Joe,

Yeah, I think that would be best, but we opted to use the webconfigurationmanager class to forward the email (site settings) settings to the system.net section to save time.

Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath);
System.Net.Configuration.SmtpSection smtpSettings = config.GetSection("system.net/mailSettings/smtp") as System.Net.Configuration.SmtpSection;

blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda...

config.Save();

This seems to work well and it doesn't require a restart. If we had lots of time we would go for the custom control.

Thanks again for all your help and patience.

Yep, once compiled it failed with a permissions error. So I guess we have no choice but to write our own control for this. Probably should have just bit the bullet and done that to begin with.

Again, thanks.
