Send Mail with Attachment using MVC

Introduction:

In this section,  I am going to explain how to send mail with attachment using MVC. Here I created  View to get data like receiver mail and attached file. By using SMTP server it will generate mail with attachment.

Model:

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using System.Linq;
4. using System.Web;
6. namespace WebApplication2.Models
7. {
8.     public class MailDetailsMod
9.     {
10.         public string MailTo { get; set; }
11.         public HttpPostedFileBase MailAttachment { get; set; }
12.        
13.     }
14. }

View:

@model WebApplication2.Models.MailDetailsMod

@{

    ViewBag.Title = "Send Mail With Attachment using MVC";

}

<center>

    <h2>Send Mail with Attachment</h2>

    @using (Html.BeginForm("SendMail", "Mail", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))

    {

        <table>

            <tr>

                <td>Mail To:</td>

                <td>@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.MailTo)</td>

            </tr>

            

            <tr>

                <td>Attach your file:</td>

                <td>@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.MailAttachment, new { type = "file" })</td>

            </tr>

        </table>

        <br />

        <b><input type="submit" value="Click here to send mail" /><br /></b>

        <h3> @ViewBag.SuccessMessage</h3>

    }

</center>

Controller:

using System.IO;

using System.Net;

using System.Net.Mail;

using System.Web.Mvc;

using WebApplication2.Models;

namespace WebApplication2.Controllers

{

    public class MailController : Controller

    {

        // GET: Mail

        public ActionResult SendMail()

        {

            MailDetailsMod myMod = new MailDetailsMod();

            return View(myMod);

        }

        [HttpPost]

        public ActionResult SendMail(MailDetailsMod myMod)

        {

            string Sendermail = "sender mail id";

            using (MailMessage mm = new MailMessage(Sendermail, myMod.MailTo))

            {

                mm.Subject = "Mail Coding with Email Attachment";

                mm.Body = "Hi, This is naveen from dotnet builders you can find attachment in this mail.";

                if (myMod.MailAttachment.ContentLength > 0)

                {

                    string fileName = Path.GetFileName(myMod.MailAttachment.FileName);

                    mm.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(myMod.MailAttachment.InputStream, fileName));

                }

                mm.IsBodyHtml = false;

                using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient())

                {

                    smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";

                    smtp.EnableSsl = true;

                    NetworkCredential NetworkCred = new NetworkCredential("your mail id", "your password");

                    smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

                    smtp.Credentials = NetworkCred;

                    smtp.Port = 587;

                    smtp.Send(mm);

                    ViewBag.SuccessMessage = "Email sent successfully !!!";

                }

            }

            return View();

        }

    }

}
