Sending HTML mail

UltimateMail makes it easy to create a complete HTML email message with only a few lines of code. To accomplish this, tou can either set the property BodyHtml or call the Load method of the MailMessage class.

The following example illustrates how to load a HTML file from disk as the body of a mail message and send it:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using ComponentPro.Net;
using ComponentPro.Net.Mail;

...

const string serverName = "myserver";
const string user = "name@domain.com";
const string password = "mytestpassword";
const int port = 465;
const SslSecurityMode securityMode = SslSecurityMode.Implicit;

Smtp client = new Smtp();
try
{
    MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
    msg.Load("mycontent.html");
    msg.From.Add("from@thedomain.com");
    msg.To.Add("name@domain.com");
    msg.Subject = "Test Subject";                

    Console.WriteLine("Connecting SMTP server: {0}:{1}...", serverName, port);
    // Connect to the server. 
    client.Connect(serverName, port, securityMode);

    // Login to the server. 
    Console.WriteLine("Logging in as {0}...", user);
    client.Authenticate(user, password);

    Console.WriteLine("Sending message...");
    client.Send(msg);
    Console.WriteLine("Message sent...");

    // Disconnect. 
    Console.WriteLine("Disconnecting...");
    client.Disconnect();
}
catch (SmtpException smtpExc)
{
    MessageBox.Show(string.Format("An SMTP error occurred: {0}, ErrorStatus: {1}", smtpExc.Message, smtpExc.Status));
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
    MessageBox.Show(string.Format("An error occurred: {0}", exc.Message));
}
