Practical Programming: Sending Email
Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 in Practical Programming
Sending email from a .NET application is incredibly simple:
using System.Net.Mail;
…
SmtpClient _smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.test.com");
_smtp.Send("",
"",
"Subject",
"Body");
…
SmtpClient _smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.test.com");
_smtp.Send("",
"",
"Subject",
"Body");
With just these few lines of code, you are sending an email from to . Pretty easy stuff.
But what if you need something a little more complicated? The example above assumes the standard SMTP port for email with no authentication and an unencrypted connection. Fortunately these “complications” are quite easy to deal with in .NET.
