Asp.Net C# Sending Email

This entry will describe how to send email using Asp.Net and C#. There will be a couple examples maybe jumbled together, but it will cover these topics:

1. Sending Text Email
2. Sending HTML Email
3. Sending Attatchments

First off, specify/import the library you need...

Using System.Net.Mail; (CodeBehind)
or <@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" > (Inline)

Next create the mail object....

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

Then set the mail object fields... (Your usual... To, From, Subject, Body)


mail.From = new MailAddress("someone@gmail.com");
mail.To.Add("someone@gmail.com");
mail.Bcc.Add("someone@gmail.com");
mail.Subject = "The Subject Line";
mail.Body = "The Body String";

For HTML email setting a single field will do...


mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

If you want to add attatchments, do the following... the first argument is a stream and the second is a string for the filename.


mail.Attatchments.Add(new Attatchment(FileUpload.PostedFile.InputStream, "filename");

Now after all that, you have only created your email message. You still need to send it out. So...


SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Send(mail);

That's it. That's all there is to sending Emails!

Parsing XML Documents in the CMS: 2 Methods

Missing root /root node." exit Sub end if If Method 1 ...

Laravel 5.1 - Step by step instructions for setting up default authentication

Create a Database in MySQL 1. Login to MySQL 2. Run the command to create a database for your application CREATE DATABASE database_name; 3. You'll probably also need to create a user to access the database CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_password'; 4. Then you'll need to grant this user access to the database you created GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'username'@'localhost' ; Configure Laravel Database Connection The DB configuration file is located at /config/database.php. You'll need to edit the following highlighted sections in this file with the values needed to connect to the database you've created from above. Configure Environment If you installed Laravel through Composer, in the root of the Laravel install there is a hidden .env file which is automatically renamed from .env.example .

Passing values from Javascript to Asp.Net

The trick to passing data from Javascript and Asp.Net is to use hidden inputs in the html. The hidden inputs should have the runat="server" attribute. For example: <input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hiddenfield" value="" /> Then in the Javascript, whatever value you are trying to pull from Asp.Net, set the hidden field using: document.getElementById("hiddenfield").value = "whatever value you want to set" And in the Asp.net form, you can just access the hiddenfield by using its id. string x = hiddenfield.value.text Thats all there is to it. You might need to check the syntax of it first as this is just all from my head.
