How to send email in ASP.NET C#

I'm very new to the ASP.NET C# area. I'm planning to send a mail through ASP.NET C# and this is the SMTP address from my ISP:

smtp-proxy.tm.net.my

Below is what I tried to do, but failed.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="SendMail" %>
<html>
<head id="Head1" runat="server"><title>Email Test Page</title></head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        Message to: <asp:TextBox ID="txtTo" runat="server" /><br>
        Message from: <asp:TextBox ID="txtFrom" runat="server" /><br>
        Subject: <asp:TextBox ID="txtSubject" runat="server" /><br>
        Message Body:<br>
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtBody" runat="server" Height="171px" TextMode="MultiLine"  Width="270px" /><br>
        <asp:Button ID="Btn_SendMail" runat="server" onclick="Btn_SendMail_Click" Text="Send Email" /><br>
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

And below is my code-behind:

using System;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Net.Mail;
public partial class SendMail : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Btn_SendMail_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MailMessage mailObj = new MailMessage(
            txtFrom.Text, txtTo.Text, txtSubject.Text, txtBody.Text);
        SmtpClient SMTPServer = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1");
        try
        {
            SMTPServer.Send(mailObj);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Label1.Text = ex.ToString();
        }
    }
}

PS: I'm sorry that I couldn't understand the receiver/sender SMTP concept, and so I am trying to understand the whole concept from here.


Solution 1:

Just go through the below code.

SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("mail.MyWebsiteDomainName.com", 25);

smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "myIDPassword");
// smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true; // uncomment if you don't want to use the network credentials
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

//Setting From , To and CC
mail.From = new MailAddress("info@MyWebsiteDomainName", "MyWeb Site");
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("info@MyWebsiteDomainName"));
mail.CC.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));

smtpClient.Send(mail);

Solution 2:

Try using this code instead. Note: In the "from address" give your correct email id and password.

protected void btn_send_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
    mail.To.Add("to gmail address");
    mail.From = new MailAddress("from gmail address", "Email head", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
    mail.Subject = "This mail is send from asp.net application";
    mail.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
    mail.Body = "This is Email Body Text";
    mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
    mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
    mail.Priority = MailPriority.High;
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
    client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("from gmail address", "your gmail account password");
    client.Port = 587;
    client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    client.EnableSsl = true;
    try
    {
        client.Send(mail);
        Page.RegisterStartupScript("UserMsg", "<script>alert('Successfully Send...');if(alert){ window.location='SendMail.aspx';}</script>");
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Exception ex2 = ex;
        string errorMessage = string.Empty;
        while (ex2 != null)
        {
            errorMessage += ex2.ToString();
            ex2 = ex2.InnerException;
        }
        Page.RegisterStartupScript("UserMsg", "<script>alert('Sending Failed...');if(alert){ window.location='SendMail.aspx';}</script>");
    }
}

Solution 3:

You can try this using hotmail like this:-

MailMessage o = new MailMessage("From", "To","Subject", "Body");
NetworkCredential netCred= new NetworkCredential("Sender Email","Sender Password");
SmtpClient smtpobj= new SmtpClient("smtp.live.com", 587); 
smtpobj.EnableSsl = true;
smtpobj.Credentials = netCred;
smtpobj.Send(o);

Solution 4:

Try the following :

try
{
    var fromEmailAddress =  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FromEmailAddress"].ToString();
    var fromEmailDisplayName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FromEmailDisplayName"].ToString();
    var fromEmailPassword = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FromEmailPassword"].ToString();
    var smtpHost = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SMTPHost"].ToString();
    var smtpPort = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SMTPPort"].ToString();

    string body = "Your registration has been done successfully. Thank you.";
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage(new MailAddress(fromEmailAddress, fromEmailDisplayName), new MailAddress(ud.LoginId, ud.FullName));
    message.Subject = "Thank You For Your Registration";
    message.IsBodyHtml = true;
    message.Body = body;

    var client = new SmtpClient();
    client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromEmailAddress, fromEmailPassword);
    client.Host = smtpHost;
    client.EnableSsl = true;
    client.Port = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(smtpPort) ? Convert.ToInt32(smtpPort) : 0;
    client.Send(message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw (new Exception("Mail send failed to loginId " + ud.LoginId + ", though registration done."));
}

And then in you web.config add the following in between

<!--Email Config-->
<add key="FromEmailAddress" value="sender emailaddress"/>
<add key="FromEmailDisplayName" value="Display Name"/>
<add key="FromEmailPassword" value="sender Password"/>
<add key="SMTPHost" value="smtp-proxy.tm.net.my"/>
<add key="SMTPPort" value="smptp Port"/>
