SmtpMail and Mail Message : Send Mails in .NET

Tools Used Visual C# .NET
Namespace System.Web.Util
Assembly System.Web.dll

The SmtpMail class can be used to send from your C# application. Mail is by default queued on the system, ensuring that the calling program does not block network traffic. The SmtpMail class is defined in the namespace System.Web.Util. You need to call

using System.Web.Util

before you use SmtpMail. This class has only one member function Send. Send sends a mail message. The Send method is overloaded. Either a MailMessage class or four arguments can be passed to the Send message. You can call the Send method in two manners:

SmtpMail.Send(txtFrom.Text, txtTo.Text, txtSubject.Text, txtMessage.Text);

Or, if you don't want to call System.Web.Util.

System.Web.Util.Smptmail.Send(txtFrom.Text, txtTo.Text, txtSubject.Text, txtMessage.Text);

You can call the Send method in two ways.

1. By passing MailMessage as a parameter

public static void Send(MailMessage);

Here MailMessage is a class.

MailMessage mailMsg = new MailMessage();
mailMsg .From = "[email protected]";
mailMsg .To = "[email protected]";
mailMsg .Cc = "[email protected]"";
mailMsg .Bcc = "[email protected]";
mailMsg .Subject = "SubjectOfTheMailString";
mailMsg .Body = "BodyOfTheMailString";
SmtpMail.Send(mailMsg );

2. Direct method.

public static void Send(string from , string to, string subject, string messageText);
