How to send Email in asp.net mvc app [Resolved]

Sending email in ASP.NET is similar to sending email in normal ASP.NET application. Below is my code snippet to declare the SendEmail method. You can copy-paste in a new class file and use it.

Send email method declaration

    public class EmailSender
    {
public static bool SendEmail(string toAddress, string replyToAddress, string ccAddress, string bccAddress, string subject, string body, MailPriority priority, bool isHtml)
        {
            try
            {
                using (SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient())
                {
                    using (MailMessage message = new MailMessage())
                    {

                        MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("noreply@myDomain.com", "NoReply, MyDomain.Com");
                        // You can specify the host name or ipaddress of your server
                        smtpClient.Host = "smtp.MyDomain.com"; //you can also specify mail server IP address here

                        //Default port will be 25
                        smtpClient.Port = 25;

                        NetworkCredential info = new NetworkCredential("noreply@myDomain.com", "Password");

                        smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
                        smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
                        smtpClient.Credentials = info;

                        //From address will be given as a MailAddress Object
                        message.From = fromAddress;
                        message.Priority = priority;
                        // To address collection of MailAddress
                        message.To.Add(toAddress);
                        message.Subject = subject;

                        if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(replyToAddress))
                        {
                            message.ReplyToList.Add(new MailAddress(replyToAddress));
                        }
                        if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ccAddress))
                        {
                            message.CC.Add(ccAddress);
                        }
                        if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(bccAddress))
                        {
                            message.Bcc.Add(bccAddress);
                        }

                        //Specify true if it is html message
                        message.IsBodyHtml = isHtml;

                        // Message body content
                        message.Body = body;

                        // Send SMTP mail
                         smtpClient.Send(message);
                    }
                }

                return true;
            }
            catch (Exception ee)
            {
                throw ee;
            }
        }
}

You will need to ensure that you are setting correct mail server name, username and password. These things are generally provided by server folks or your IT department.


Using send email method

EmailSender.SendEmail(toEmailId, replyToEmailId, ccEmailId, bccEmailId, subject, bodyOfEmail, System.Net.Mail.MailPriority.High, true);

You can change the MailPriority based on your requirement. Declare all above variables and set its value.
