System.IO.Ports.SerialPort

is there a way to embed the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort object in my html . s
o
that the client can access to a device connected to his SerialCOM ?
i tried to wrap the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort in my own component and then
put it in <object> but it doesnt seem to work, any suggestions?I doubt the security sandbox of the user's browser would allow such a thing.
You'll probably need a thick client such as an ActiveX control or Windows
Forms application.
I hope this helps,

You can run .NET components on the client side browser provided that your
client has the .NET framework installed and willing to allow you to do so.

System.Net.Mail class smtpdemo needs users address in message body from txt.emailAddress

I have this code behind from the new asp.net 2.0 System.Net.Mail class smtpdemo i am working with. It sends an HTML email to myself the from address and to the email address in txt.emailAddress as a CC. I am trying to get the txt.email address somewhere in the message body that it sends out. this code does not show the imputed contents of txt.emailaddress anywhere in the email so i canot reply to the sender. It declaires me as the sender and sends the person filing out the form an email. I need to declar the contents of txt.emailadress as a variable and call it in the message body. Ive tryed dozens of different ways but they all have errors. i hope someone can look at this code and show me how to get the users email address sent with the message.

System.Net.Mail issue - html AlternateView losing period in href

I have setup some code that grabs HTML from our database and attaches it as an AlternateView
--
AlternateView htmlView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(htmlSB.ToString(),Encoding.GetEncoding(0),MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
--
I am dumping it to a text file locally. In the instance where there is a wrap in the body which contains an a href, and there is a period just AFTER the wrap, it drops the period
ex of the physical email file:
blah blah blah blah <a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=http://forums.asp=
.net>Asp Forums</a>blah blah blah blah bla=
(note the period on the new line)
shows up as -
blah blah blah blah <a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=http://forums.aspnet>Asp Forums</a>blah blah blah blah bla
(note the missing period between asp and net)
Any ideas?
thanks
m

Since I have not gotten a response at all, should I assume that this is an unfixable bug and abandon system.net.mail?

thanks
