  Sending email through Web-Service (asmx)

  Jun 23, 2012 11:46 PM|LINK

  Do you have an example how to setup sending email through Web-Service (asmx) using C# with ASP.NET 3.5?

  Also please show the “web.config” file for mailSettings setup. Thanks.

  Do you know how to do an asmx web service and call it?

  If you do then just write a piece of code inside a web method which sends the mail.Will post a sample mail sending code here.

  This sample code uses Gmail's SMTP server to send emails, if you want to send using your own SMTP server then just chalne the smtp settings or else use the same code and chane the Username /password

  System.Net.Mail; //Include This NameSpace
  
  MailMessage MyMailMessage = new MailMessage();
  MyMailMessage.From = new MailAddress("adbuaryuy@gmail.com");
  MyMailMessage.To.Add("yearningpeeks@yahoo.com");
  MyMailMessage.Subject = "Feedback Form";
  MyMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
  
  MyMailMessage.Body = "<table><tr><td>" + txtName.Text + txtEmail.Text + txtComments.Text + "</table></tr></td>";
  
  SmtpClient SMTPServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
  SMTPServer.Port = 587;
  SMTPServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("adbuaryuy@gmail.com", System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["pwd"].ToString());
  SMTPServer.EnableSsl = true;
  try
  {
  SMTPServer.Send(MyMailMessage);
  Response.Redirect("Thankyou.aspx");
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
  
  
  }

  Yes you can use it.With this code, you don't have to put any other details in web.config.

  You can access web services from other applications i.e. for application communication and can configure the way it communicates with others(the protocols / Data format).

  In aspx i.e. web forms it's used for creating a website that people would be accessing and can respond to events.
