Last month I was using SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) dll in one of my .NET project.After compiling the project Visual Studio 2005 IDE was reporting the error about missing method names in SMO DLL .I have already installed SQL server 2005 along with SP2 but still it was not able to find the missing method names in this dll.One of my colleague who was working on the same project does not face the "missing method name" issue at SMO dll even though the DLL versions loaded on both the machines were same.

Later on I came to know that I have to install SQL 2005 feature pack released on February 2007 located at https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=50b97994-8453-4998-8226-fa42ec403d17&displaylang=en.

After installing the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Objects Collection msi (SQLServer2005_XMO.msi) the problem disappeared and my project was able to found the missing method names.

I hope this would be helpful for those who might have faced the similar issue.

My Setup project does not show Install/Uninstall options at right click.But after registering this dll this problem went away.

Find the MS support article on it. https://support.microsoft.com/kb/329214.

I have written the generic code so that it can be used in any such requirement.  I hope this will help the developers with the similar requirement.

You need to change the settings of Internet explorer for this to work:

a)      Go to ‘Tools’ menu in the internet explorer.

b)      Go to ‘Options’.

c)       Click “Custom Level” Button.

d)      Select the option “Initialize and script ActiveX control not marked as safe for scripting” to Prompt or Enable.

JavaScript File: Mail.js (Included in the root of the project)

function SendMail(to,body,sub)

{

    var theApp    //Reference to Outlook.Application

      var theMailItem   //Outlook.mailItem

    //Attach Files to the email, Construct the Email including     

    //To(address),subject,body

    var subject = sub

    var msg = body

    //Create a object of Outlook.Application

    try

    {

    var theApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application")

    var theMailItem = theApp.CreateItem(0) // value 0 = MailItem

      //Bind the variables with the email

      theMailItem.to = to

      theMailItem.Subject = (subject);

      theMailItem.Body = (msg);

      //Show the mail before sending for review purpose

      //You can directly use the theMailItem.send() function

      //if you do not want to show the message.

      theMailItem.display()

      }

    catch(err)

    {

    alert("The following may have cause this error: \n"+

     "1. The Outlook express 2007 is not installed on the machine.\n"+

     "2. The msoutl.olb is not availabe at the location "+

     "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\msoutl.old on client's machine "+

     "due to bad installation of the office 2007."+

     "Re-Install office2007 with default settings.\n"+

     "3. The Initialize and Scripts ActiveX controls not marked as safe is not set to enable.")

    document.write("<a href=\""+"./testemail.asp"+"\""+">"+"Go Back"+"</a>")

    }

}

Page_Load EventHandler(Note:How onclick attribute is added to button control):

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        string to, sub, body;

        to = "rkaushik@microsoft.com";

        body = "Body of the mail";

        sub = "Subject";

        btnSendMail.Attributes.Add("onclick", "SendMail('" + to + "','" + body + "','" + sub + "')");

    }

Button Control (used to invoke the Javascript):

<asp:Button ID="btnSendMail" runat="server" Text="Send Mail" />

Include Javascript between the page Header:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="Mail.js"></script>
