Vivos et Securus: Send Email SMTP Servo in usura Gmail. NET C #

2 Restituo

Hic locus non omnino novam, sed cum id opus, I found a lot of “why won’t this work for me” and not too many direct answers. I hope someone finds this useful.

Sequenti frenum of code mittam an email usura Gmail meo ut faciam illud, possidet attachiamenta:

usura System.Net.Mail;
usura System.Net;

NetworkCredential loginInfo = novum NetworkCredential("[My Gmail ID]", "[My Gmail Password]");
MailMessage msg = novum MailMessage();
msg.From = novum MailAddress("[M Gmail Id]@gmail.com");
msg.To.Add(novum MailAddress("paul.galvin@arcovis.com"));
msg.Subject = "Test infopath dev subject";
msg.Body = "<html><corpus><strong>A strong message.</strong></corpus></html>";
msg.IsBodyHtml = verum;

foreach (filum aFile in NIPFD.GetAttachmentNamesAndLocations())
{
    msg.Attachments.Add(novum Attachment(aFile));
} // Adding attachments.

SmtpClient client = novum SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
client.EnableSsl = verum;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = falsum;
client.Credentials = loginInfo;
client.Port = 587;
client.EnableSsl = verum;
client.Send(msg);

A few key bits that slowed me down and other observations / notes:

  • The first line that creates the loginInfo object needs to use the gmail ID stripped of “@gmail.com". Ita, if my gmail email address is “sharepoint@gmail.com” and my password is “xyzzy” then the line would look like:

NetworkCredential loginInfo = novum NetworkCredential("sharepoint", "Xyzzy");

  • My gmail account is set up to use SSL and that wasn’t a problem.
  • There is some conflicting information out there on what port to use. I used port 587 and it worked fine for me.
  • In meam, I also needed to send attachments. That NIPFD object has a method that knows where my attachments are. It’s returning a fully path (e.g. “c:\temp\attachment1.jpg”. In my test, I had two attachments and they both worked fine.

I used visual studio 2008 to write this code.

    The PowerShell Team blog recently had a similar post that I found invaluable as a server admin. Visual Studio is great but many of my peers are not developers and don’t have a license purchased. PowerShell feels more like the command line and is more accessible to them. Just a suggestion for any admins out there.

    Best,
