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)
{
}
}
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";
}
}
