Simple ASP.NET Email function



Sending an email from within ASP.NET is easy as long as you have access to an SMTP server to deliver it. When using this code replace the line

mail.yoursmtpmailserver.com


with the name of your smtp mail server.

Select All Code


You can integrate the code further into your site, for example by setting the .to property of the mail object to a variable, perhaps read in from a form or a database. As an example, you could loop through all the email fields in a database table and send a mailshot to all your clients.

FORMAT

The alternative to the HTML email format shown here is plain text, in which case you set the format as follows:

Select All Code


To acheive line breaks within text format use VBCRLF (VB Carriage Return Line Feed). As in :

Select All Code
