Send Email with Priorities using ASP.NET 2.0 and C#.NET
This tutorial will show you how to send a simple email message with priorities using ASP.NET 2.0 and C#.NET
Sending a email with Priorities using ASP.NET 2.0 and C# is actually very simple.
We used over 10 web hosting companies before we found Server Intellect. Their dedicated servers and add-ons were setup swiftly, in less than 24 hours. We were able to confirm our order over the phone. They respond to our inquiries within an hour. Server Intellect's customer support and assistance are the best we've ever experienced.
First, you will need to import the System.Net.Mail namespace.
The System.Net.Mail namespace contains the SmtpClient and MailMessage Classes that we need in order to send the email and specify the Priority.
We use the btnSubmit_Click event to do the work.
We then call the emailClient.Send to send the message using the variables from our ASP.NET coded page. We then use a switch statement to determine the desired level of priority and set the Priority property of our MailMessage object accordingly.
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try {
MailAddress SendFrom = new MailAddress(txtFrom.Text); MailAddress SendTo = new MailAddress(txtTo.Text); MailMessage MyMessage = new MailMessage(SendFrom, SendTo); MyMessage.Subject = txtSubject.Text; MyMessage.Body = txtBody.Text; switch (ddPriority.SelectedValue) {
case "Low" :
MyMessage.Priority = MailPriority.Low;
break;
case "Normal" :
MyMessage.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
break;
case "High" :
MyMessage.Priority = MailPriority.High;
break; } SmtpClient emailClient = new SmtpClient(txtSMTPServer.Text); emailClient.Send(MyMessage); litStatus.Text = "Message Sent"; } catch (Exception ex) {
litStatus.Text=ex.ToString(); } |
