Compose an Email in Windows 10

In this blog, I will show on how to compose an email in Universal Windows Platform.

Here we are going to compose an email from a Universal App with email compose class.

Step 1: Open a blank window and add the following fields either by using toolbox or by copying the following XAML code to your grid.

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Compose Mail" FontSize="25" Grid.Row="0" FontWeight="Bold"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Margin="5,10,0,0" Text="To" Grid.Row="1" FontSize="20"></TextBlock>
<TextBox Margin="0,10,10,0" Name="to" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"></TextBox>
<TextBlock Margin="5,10,0,0" Text="CC" Grid.Row="2" FontSize="20"></TextBlock>
<TextBox Margin="0,10,10,0" Name="cc" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2"></TextBox>
<TextBlock Margin="5,10,0,0" Text="Subject" Grid.Row="3" FontSize="20"></TextBlock>
<TextBox Margin="0,10,10,0" Name="subject" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="3"></TextBox>
<TextBlock Margin="5,10,0,0" Text="Body" Grid.Row="4" FontSize="20"></TextBlock>
<TextBox Margin="0,10,10,0" Name="body" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="4" Height="100" TextWrapping="Wrap"></TextBox>
<Button Margin="0,10,10,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Content="Send" Name="sendEmail" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="5" Click="sendEmail_Click"></Button>

 

Step 2: Copy and paste the following code to the cs page which will handle each event assigned to the Send Button.

private async void sendEmail_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    EmailMessage email = new EmailMessage();
    email.To.Add(new EmailRecipient(to.Text));
    email.CC.Add(new EmailRecipient(cc.Text));
    email.Subject = subject.Text;
    email.Body = body.Text;
    await EmailManager.ShowComposeNewEmailAsync(email);
}

Step 3: Run and test your application.
