Sending until Progressbar processing...

Israel

Hi!

I wrote this code for sending my email. Its works!

But after to click to my button to send the content. Its make some seconds until sending completly. I need to insert a processBar into my StatusStrip (processing with a counter 1,2,3,4,5,etc) for example in wating the email to be sended totally. Its means when its end down at 100%. Its sended!

This my code:

try

{

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.live.com", 25);

NetworkCredential cred = new NetworkCredential("emailFrom", "password");

MailMessage Msg = new MailMessage();

Msg.From = new MailAddress(txtEmailFrom.Text);

Msg.To.Add(txtEmailTo.Text);

Msg.Subject = txtEmailSubject.Text;

Msg.Body = txtEmailContent.Text;

client.Credentials = cred;

client.EnableSsl = true;

lblConfirmation.Text = "Mail Sended Succesfully";

client.Send(Msg);

}

catch{

lblConfirmation.Text = "Error";

}

You can try something like this...
Have a private Background worker as below and initialize at appropriate location in your case.
BackgroundWorker bgw;
bgw = new BackgroundWorker();
As soon as you hit a button or trigger the event to start sending email,
bgw = new BackgroundWorker();
bgw.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;
bgw.WorkerReportsProgress = true;
bgw.DoWork += Bgw_DoWork;
bgw.ProgressChanged += Bgw_ProgressChanged;
bgw.RunWorkerCompleted += Bgw_RunWorkerCompleted;
bgw.RunWorkerAsync();
Inside your Bgw_DoWork event, try to put your above code with one additional line reporting the progress.
private void Bgw_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.live.com", 25);
NetworkCredential cred = new NetworkCredential("emailFrom", "password");
MailMessage Msg = new MailMessage();
Msg.From = new MailAddress(txtEmailFrom.Text);
Msg.To.Add(txtEmailTo.Text);
Msg.Subject = txtEmailSubject.Text;

Msg.Body = txtEmailContent.Text;
client.Credentials = cred;
client.EnableSsl = true;
lblConfirmation.Text = "Mail Sent Succesfully";
client.Send(Msg);
bgw.ReportProgress(1); // <--where one being relative percentage of overall work.
}
private void Bgw_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
//set value of your progress bar here,
}

well, you may want to go with background worker here .
Having your DoWork event to send emails and report progress to worker.
Having your ProgressChanged event to update progress bar .
Also, having background worker will not freeze the UI thread.
