Send email with wpf

Question

Hi i am trying to send email in a wpf app but i get stuck; i show my xaml code

Click to copy

 <Grid>
    <Button     Style="{DynamicResource ShowcaseRedBtn}"  CommandParameter="test@ygmail.com" Tag="Send Email" Content="Button" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="351,186,0,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="140" Click="button1_Click" />
    <TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="92,70,0,0" Name="txtSubject" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="234" />
    <TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" AcceptsTab="True"   Height="159" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="92,121,0,0" Name="txtBody" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="234" />
</Grid>

and here in the code behind :

Click to copy

 private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Button btn = sender as Button;
        if (btn == null)
            return;
        string url = btn.CommandParameter as string;
        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(url)) 
            return;
        try
        {
            // here i wish set the parameters of email in this way 
            // 1. mailto = url;
            // 2. subject = txtSubject.Text;
            // 3. body = txtBody.Text;
            Process.Start("mailto:test@gmail.com?subject=Software&body=test ");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
        }
    }

my purpose is set the parameters of the email binding the data from the form : // 1. mailto = url; // 2. subject = txtSubject.Text; // 3. body = txtBody.Text;

Do you have any idea how work out this step?

Thanks so much for your attention.

Cheers

You can send mail directly using the System.Net.MailMessage class. Look at the following example from the MSDN documentation for this class:

Click to copy

public static void CreateTimeoutTestMessage(string server)
        {
            string to = "jane@contoso.com";
            string from = "ben@contoso.com";
            string subject = "Using the new SMTP client.";
            string body = @"Using this new feature, you can send an e-mail message from an application very easily.";
            MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, body);
            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
            Console.WriteLine("Changing time out from {0} to 100.", client.Timeout);
            client.Timeout = 100;
            // Credentials are necessary if the server requires the client 
            // to authenticate before it will send e-mail on the client's behalf.
            client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

      try {
              client.Send(message);
            }  
            catch (Exception ex) {
              Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateTimeoutTestMessage(): {0}", 
                    ex.ToString() );              
          }
        }
