Hi, I am trying to send email automatically using timer control. But it is not responding. But the same code I have used under button click event, it works perfectly. Help me to find a proper solution. Thank you.

C#

namespace AlertMail
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MailMessage loginInfo = new MailMessage();
            string em = "toAddress@gmail.com";
            loginInfo.To.Add(em.ToString());
            loginInfo.From = new MailAddress("fromAddress@gmail.com");
            loginInfo.Subject = "Alert Information";

            loginInfo.Body = "Hai";
            loginInfo.IsBodyHtml = true;
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
            smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
            smtp.Port = 587;
            smtp.EnableSsl = true;
            smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("fromAddress@gmail.com", "Password");
            smtp.Send(loginInfo);
            label6.Text = "Alert is send to your email..!!";
        }
   }
}

Have you started the Timer somewhere in code you have not shown here ?

Solution 2

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    timer1.Interval = 1000; // setting my value here
    timer1.Start();
}

Add form load/page load event inside which start the timer control.

Solution 1

Go to the form designer and click on the timer1 control and in the properties panel click on events and hook up the Tick() event to the timer1_Tick() method.
