Sending e-mail is an important and common feature in ASP.Net (through the system.net.mail namespace). In this article, I will show how to send asynchronous mail, which is used, for example, to send bulk e-mail. ASP.NET includes the feature of asynchronous mail.
Following is an example of sending asynchronous mail:
public void SendAsyncMail() { MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); mail.From = new MailAddress("Enter from mail address"); mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("Enter to address #1")); mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("Enter to address #2")); mail.Subject = "Enter mail subject"; mail.Body = "Enter mail body"; SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient(); Object state = mail; //event handler for asynchronous call smtpClient.SendCompleted += new SendCompletedEventHandler(smtpClient_SendCompleted); try { smtpClient.SendAsync(mail, state); } catch (Exception ex) { /* exception handling code here */ } } void smtpClient_SendCompleted(object sender, System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs e) { MailMessage mail = e.UserState as MailMessage; if (!e.Cancelled && e.Error!=null) { message.Text = "Mail sent successfully"; } }
