Sending email in ASP.NET

Many times I tried to send an email through .net. Although there are many posts still contains to send an email through .net. But in this article I have created a class which have differenet methods like getSMTPInfo() and MailConfiguration(string to, string from, string cc, string bcc) and SendMail(string subject, string emailBody)

Let me explains you what these methods does.

        /// <summary>

        /// This Method gets the all SMTP Information

        /// </summary>

       GetSMTPInfo()
      {
            System.Collections.Hashtable section;
            System.Collections.IDictionaryEnumerator enumerator;
            try
            {
         section = (System.Collections.Hashtable)                                    

               ConfigurationManager.GetSection("ReportsEmail/SMTP");

                enumerator = section.GetEnumerator();

                while (enumerator.MoveNext())

                {
                   if (enumerator.Entry.Key.ToString() == "Host")

                    {
                        SMTPHost = enumerator.Entry.Value.ToString();
                    }
                    else if (enumerator.Entry.Key.ToString() == "Port")
                    {
                        if (enumerator.Entry.Value.ToString() != "")
                        {
                            int.TryParse(enumerator.Entry.Value.ToString(), out port);
                        }
                    }
                    else if (enumerator.Entry.Key.ToString() == "UserName")
                    {
                        smtpuser = enumerator.Entry.Value.ToString();
                    }
                    else if (enumerator.Entry.Key.ToString() == "Password")
                   {
                        smtppass = enumerator.Entry.Value.ToString();
                    }
                    else if (enumerator.Entry.Key.ToString() == "EnableSSL")                    {
                        int value = 0;
                        int.TryParse(enumerator.Entry.Value.ToString(), out value);
                        if (value == 1)
                            enablessl = true;
                        else
                            enablessl = false;
                    }
                }
                if (message.To.Count < 1)
                {
                    return;
                }

                message.From = new MailAddress(this.from);
                if (this.cc != "")
                {
                    string[] multipleMailArraycc = this.cc.Split(',');
                    if (multipleMailArraycc != null && multipleMailArraycc.Length > 0)
                    {
                        for (int z = 0; z < multipleMailArraycc.Length; z++)
                        {
                            if (multipleMailArraycc[z].Trim() != "")Z
                           {
                                message.CC.Add(multipleMailArraycc[z].Trim());

                            }
                        }
                }

                if (this.bcc != "")
                {
                    string[] multiplebcc = this.bcc.Split(',');
                    if (multiplebcc != null && multiplebcc.Length > 0)
                    {
                        for (int z = 0; z < multiplebcc.Length; z++)
                        {
                            if (multiplebcc[z].Trim() != "")
                            {
                                message.Bcc.Add(multiplebcc[z].Trim());
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

                //message.To.Add(this.to);

                //message.From = new MailAddress(this.from);

                //if (this.cc != "") message.CC.Add(this.cc);

                //if (this.bcc != "") message.Bcc.Add(this.bcc);

                message.Subject = subject;
               message.IsBodyHtml = true;
                message.Body = emailBody;
                SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient(this.SMTPHost);
                if (this.port > 0)
                {
                    mailClient.Port = this.port;
                }
                if (this.isDefaultCredential == false)
                {
                    mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
                    mailClient.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo;
                }
                else
                {
                    mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
}

        /// <summary>

            }
}

       /// <summary>

SendMail(string subject, string emailBody)
{
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
            try
            {
                string[] multipleMailArray = this.to.Split(',');
                if (multipleMailArray != null && multipleMailArray.Length > 0)
                {
                    for (int z = 0; z < multipleMailArray.Length; z++)
                    {
                        if (multipleMailArray[z].Trim() != "")
                        {

                            message.To.Add(multipleMailArray[z].Trim());
                        }
                    }
                }
                mailClient.EnableSsl = this.enablessl;
                mailClient.Send(message);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

                throw ex;
          }
}

In the Web.Config file,We need to add the Section group for SMTP Configurations inside Configsections tag.

       <sectionGroup name="ReportsEmail">
        <section name ="SMTP" type ="System.Configuration.SingleTagSectionHandler"/>
      </sectionGroup>

Again As we have given the name of the section name as ReportsEmail

In the ReportEmail section tags We need to add the SMTP configurations

  <ReportsEmail>
    <SMTP Host="smtp.gmail.com" //give the name of the Host name
    UserName="[email protected]"    Password="Password"      
        Port="25"
    EnableSSL="1">
    </SMTP>
    </ReportsEmail>

and Again if you want to send a mail on a click of the Button,We just need to create an instance of the mail Configuration Class and call that method SendMail with instance.
 
Thats it!!!
