In the previous session, we discussed about sending emails using asp.net. All the SMTP server settings were configured in code. In this session, we will discuss about specifying these settings in web.config file.
Since the SMTP server settings are now configured in web.config. In code all you have to do is
1. Create an instance of the MailMessage class. Specify the FROM & TO email address, subject and Body
2. Create an instance of SmtpClient class, and send the email using Send() method. The SMTP settings will be automatically picked up from web.config file, when sending email.
SendEmail() method code
public static void SendEmail(string emailbody)
{
// Specify the from and to email address
MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage
(“[email protected]”, “[email protected]”);
// Specify the email body
mailMessage.Body = emailbody;
// Specify the email Subject
mailMessage.Subject = “Exception”;
// No need to specify the SMTP settings as these
// are already specified in web.config
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
// Finall send the email message using Send() method
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
}
