I have an urgent issue with a live site we upgraded to 6.0 about 8 days ago. Specifically, we have the following line of code that was working on 5.6.

Line 77:             Dim strFrom As String = PortalSettings.Current.Email
Line 78:             DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail(strFrom, eMail, bcceMail, subject, message, Nothing, "html", Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)

The failure is the second line:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The code is unchanged from before the upgrade (and has been running fine for a couple of years). Have there been some changes with DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail in 6.0?

Thanks.

Mark

Thank you Charles. Here you go...

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail(String MailFrom, String MailTo, String Cc, String Bcc, MailPriority Priority, String Subject, MailFormat BodyFormat, Encoding BodyEncoding, String Body, String Attachment, String SMTPServer, String SMTPAuthentication, String SMTPUsername, String SMTPPassword, Boolean SMTPEnableSSL) +118
   DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail(String MailFrom, String MailTo, String Cc, String Bcc, MailPriority Priority, String Subject, MailFormat BodyFormat, Encoding BodyEncoding, String Body, String Attachment, String SMTPServer, String SMTPAuthentication, String SMTPUsername, String SMTPPassword) +225

   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +2980

Mark, if a parameter is expecting a string, you should pass an empty string, if possible. Nothing indicates, you are not passing an object, which is not supported in this case.
btw, I agree, that there is some room for improvement for the send mail interface, usually, you should have no doubt about smtp settings.
