Asp net mvc send mail

In ASP.NET MVC, you can send an email using the System.Net.Mail namespace. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Install the necessary NuGet package

In your ASP.NET MVC project, install the System.Net.Mail NuGet package by running the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package System.Net.Mail

Step 2: Create a mail message

Create a new instance of the MailMessage class and set its properties:

using System.Net.Mail;

// Create a new mail message
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

// Set the sender's email address
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");

// Set the recipient's email address
mail.To.Add("[email protected]");

// Set the subject of the email
mail.Subject = "Test Email";

// Set the body of the email
mail.Body = "This is a test email sent using ASP.NET MVC.";

Step 3: Create a mail client

Create a new instance of the SmtpClient class and set its properties:

using System.Net.Mail;

// Create a new SmtpClient instance
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

// Set the SMTP server's address
client.Host = "smtp.example.com";

// Set the SMTP server's port
client.Port = 587;

// Set the SMTP server's username and password
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("your-smtp-username", "your-smtp-password");

Step 4: Send the email

Use the Send method of the SmtpClient instance to send the email:

// Send the email
client.Send(mail);

Example code

Here's the complete example code:

using System.Net.Mail;

public class EmailController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult SendEmail()
    {
        // Create a new mail message
        MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

        // Set the sender's email address
        mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");

        // Set the recipient's email address
        mail.To.Add("[email protected]");

        // Set the subject of the email
        mail.Subject = "Test Email";

        // Set the body of the email
        mail.Body = "This is a test email sent using ASP.NET MVC.";

        // Create a new SmtpClient instance
        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

        // Set the SMTP server's address
        client.Host = "smtp.example.com";

        // Set the SMTP server's port
        client.Port = 587;

        // Set the SMTP server's username and password
        client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("your-smtp-username", "your-smtp-password");

        // Send the email
        client.Send(mail);

        // Return a success message
        return RedirectToAction("EmailSent");
    }

    public ActionResult EmailSent()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Note: Make sure to replace the placeholders ([email protected], [email protected], smtp.example.com, your-smtp-username, and your-smtp-password) with your actual email addresses and SMTP server settings.
