ASP.NET 2.0 - Sending Email with your application

This is a very simplistic example of how to send an email within your ASP.NET 2.0 application. This example uses Google's gmail service, although it should work with any SMTP email server as long as you have the correct server settings (Host, Port, SSL) Good luck with your application!


public bool SendEmail(string strTo, string strSubject, string strBody)
{
bool bReturn=false;

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();

mail.From = new MailAddress("sender@gmail.com", "Senders Name");
mail.ReplyTo = new MailAddress("sender@gmail.com"); // optional
mail.To.Add(strTo);
mail.Subject = strSubject;
mail.Body = strBody;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtp.Port = 25;
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("sender@gmail.com", "password");
smtp.Send(mail);

bReturn = true;
return bReturn;
}
