[2.0] Send Email

**Beast777** · Jul 26th, 2007, 12:57 PM

I have an app that I want to send an email to a user on our network. I do not have access to the SNMP info but I have an app working in VB and the code is below. I keep trying to get it to work in C# but no success. I am close I think with the chunk of code below the VB. Can someone help?

Code:

'get recordset for email's body
            Dim OlApp As New Outlook.Application
            Dim OlNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
            Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
            Dim strPath, strSubj As String
            Dim cn As New SqlConnection
            cn.ConnectionString = "workstation id=""S-KG-CFSCE-2098"";packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data s" & _
            "ource=""server"";persist security info=False;initial catalog=database"
            cn.Open()
            cmdtext = "Select * from VehicleReq2 where ReqNum = " & "'" & txtReqNum.Text & "'"
            da.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand(cmdtext, cn)
            Dim dr As SqlDataReader = da.SelectCommand.ExecuteReader
            'get attachment - Current is a structure in the module

            Try
                msg = OlApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)
                msg.To = "[email protected]"
                msg.Subject = "Vehicle Request " & num
                msg.Body = "Press Send to send now or add any comments to bottom.  Do not change request data" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
                While dr.Read
                    msg.Body = "There is a new Vehicle Request. " & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "Request Number: " & dr.GetValue(0) & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "Date Ordered: " & dr.GetValue(1) & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "Crse Number: " & dr.GetValue(2) & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "DT Required: " & dr.GetValue(3) & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "DT Released: " & dr.GetValue(4) & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "Ordered by: " & dr.GetValue(5) & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "Sqn: " & dr.GetValue(6) & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "Local: " & dr.GetValue(7) & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "Type of Ex: " & dr.GetValue(8) & vbCrLf
                    msg.Body = msg.Body & "Ex Location: " & dr.GetValue(9) & vbCrLf
  

                End While
                msg.Display()
            Catch ex As Exception
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
            End Try
        End If

Code:

using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;


  Outlook.Application  oApp = new Outlook.Application();
            // Get the NameSpace and Logon information.
				Outlook.NameSpace oNS = oApp.GetNamespace("mapi");

				// Log on by using a dialog box to choose the profile.
				oNS.Logon(null, null, true, true);

				
				// Create a new mail item.
				Outlook.MailItem oMsg = (Outlook.MailItem)oApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);

				// Set the subject.
				oMsg.Subject = "Send Using OOM in C#";

				// Set HTMLBody.
				String sHtml;
				sHtml = "<HTML>\n" +
					"<HEAD>\n" +
					"<TITLE>Sample GIF</TITLE>\n" +
					"</HEAD>\n" +
					"<BODY><P>\n" +
					"<h1><Font Color=Green>Inline graphics</Font></h1></P>\n" +
					"</BODY>\n" +
					"</HTML>";
				oMsg.HTMLBody = sHtml;

				// Add a recipient.
				Outlook.Recipients oRecips = (Outlook.Recipients)oMsg.Recipients;
								Outlook.Recipient oRecip = (Outlook.Recipient)oRecips.Add("[email protected]");
				oRecip.Resolve();

				// Send.
                oMsg.Display();

				// Log off.
				oNS.Logoff();

				// Clean up.
				oRecip = null;
				oRecips = null;
				oMsg = null;
				oNS = null;
				oApp = null;

Actually, I found the problem. I misspelt the email but while I have your attention, does anyone know how to use the oMsg.Display()? I believe it needs something in the brackets but I do not know what.

Bump. Anyone use oMsg.Display? There must be some way to display the email and then have the user send it.

I just use oMsg.Show().. i believe that should work..

Unfortunately, it looks like .Show is not an option with VS2005 2.0 C#. Any other ideas?
