I believe you'll have to get PortalSettings with another method, as the web.service most likely isn't inheriting from PortalModuleBase where you can get the portal settings without much hassle.

You might try getting them with the code below, though this might not work for you either

PortalSettings ps = (PortalSettings)HttpContext.Current.Items["PortalSettings"];

Actually what i want to do is get the PortalSettings for the SendMail function so that i can do the following:
  Dim oUI As UserInfo
  oUI = New UserInfo
  Mail.SendMail(oUI, MessageType.UserRegistrationPublic, PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings)

BTW the following code works:
  Dim oOUI As New OnlineUserInfo
  Dim oPC As New PortalController
  Dim iCS As UserCreateStatus
  oUI = UserController.ValidateUser(oOUI.PortalID, sAdmUn, sAdmPwd, "", oPC.GetPortal(oOUI.PortalID).PortalName, strIP, loginStatus)
  Dim sPwd As String = UserController.GeneratePassword.ToUpper
  iCS = UserController.CreateUser(oUI)
  Mail.SendMail("bl@test.com", "bl@test.com", "", "1", "1", "", "", "localhost", "", "", "")

Just an idea? Is there a way to get the PortalSettings of a given portal by PortalID?

Thankx in advance
