Sending mail with C#

can someone out there please help me.
I need to know how to send mail using C#. I have a class that will be throwing parameters (see below):

private void SendToAnalyst()

{

string emailSubject = string.Empty;

string emailAddress = string.Empty;

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

//To Do: Instantiate Monitoring Component

if(mSourceSystem.ToUpper().Equals("FLEXCAB"))

{

emailSubject = "Sample RequestId (FLEXCAB To RADTI RESPONSE): "+mSampleRequestID;

sb.Append("**************************************************************************************\n");

sb.Append("\n");

sb.Append("Please do not reply to this email. This is a System generated email.\n");

sb.Append("\n");

sb.Append("**************************************************************************************\n");

sb.Append("\n");

sb.Append("Sample Request ID: "+mSampleRequestID+"\n");

sb.Append("Request Status: "+ mReqStatus+"\n");

sb.Append("\n");

sb.Append("Please Correct the error and re-submit.\n");

sb.Append("Or Call the EDS DBA on 03-8866-7424\n");

//Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());

// Send the email body to Monitoring component

}

The send mail class I am trying to create should catch the parameters from this SendToAnalyst class.

I need to understand how to specify this too. Did you ever get an answer

It's probably best not to dig up threads from 2005, but you should be able to get this information from your email provider, unless it is a purely web-based email service. (I'm not sure if Yahoo offers SMTP access, but it's very possible that they don't).

It looks like the original poster was in a corporate environment, so it would be easy to get this information, while it is a bit more difficult for the hobbyist using free email providers.

Hi nicpn,

this code snippet should get you started:

using System.Web.Mail;

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.To = emailAddress;
msg.From = "yourAddress@domain"
msg.Subject = emailSubject;
msg.Body = sb.ToString();

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "TheNameOrAddressOfYourMailServer";
SmtpMail.Send(msg);

HTH,

Hi, I got a question;

How can I know the name or address of my smtp server. I assume that my e-mail is user@yahoo.com. Where can I find the smtp name and port connection for that.
I have been checking the System.Web.Net namespace, and it requieres to have a a port conecction for the smpt client in order to get use the relative object. The above namespace is the new one used in c# 2005 beta 2 to send e-mails.

Thanks...
