Send email using C#

In my previous post I wrote about sticky notes type application. By using that application a user is able to take small notes. As soon as user closes the notes, the application saves the user notes. So next time when user again launches the application, then user is provided with his notes.

Now I am adding one more functionality to this application. By using this functionality user will be able to send his notes to a specified email. 

To implement this functionality we need to add following libraries in the project:

1. using System.Net.Mail
2. using System.Net.Mime

Add a link label at the bottom of the form. On the Click event of link label write the logic for sending email. 

Here is the code snippets:




            SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient();

 SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xyz@gmail.com", "xyz");

            SmtpServer.Port = 587;

            SmtpServer.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";

            SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;

            mail = new MailMessage();

            String addr = "xyz@abc.com";

            try

            {

                mail.From = new MailAddress("xyz@gmail.com", "notes", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

                mail.Subject = "Notes";

                mail.Body = txtUser.Text;

                mail.To.Add(addr);

                mail.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;

                mail.ReplyTo = new MailAddress("xyz@gmail.com");

                SmtpServer.Send(mail);

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());

            }

Here the notes taken by the user is sent as email to the user. The body of mail consist of the notes taken by the user.

Please feel free to give feedback and any query regarding the post.

In my next blog I will explain the code of this post along with some new features.....
