Add C# Code to Send Mail

Add a button to the form, rename the button "SendEmail" and double-click it to edit the code for the button click event. Add the following code:

		private void SendEmail_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan();
 //
		Any
			string begins a 30-day trial.
			mailman.UnlockComponent("anything-here-for-30-day-trial");
			mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.earthlink.net";

			Chilkat.Email email = new Chilkat.Email();
			email.Subject = "This is the subject";
			email.Body = "This is the body";
			email.AddTo("Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com");
			email.From = "John Smith <john.smith@chilkatsoft.com>";
			
			if (!mailman.SendEmail(email)) 
			{
				mailman.SaveLastError("ErrorLog.xml");
			}

		}

Compile, run, and check your email.

Notes

• The Chilkat classes are contained in the "Chilkat" namespace.
• For a complete reference, see Chilkat .NET Class Reference
• Do not forget to change the SMTP server name and to/from addresses in the source.
• If the send mail fails, the error information will be found in ErrorLog.xml, which is located in the same directory as your application executable (in this example).
