DotNetNuke Daily Tip for 6/23/2006

Have you ever needed to send mail from one of your DotNetNuke modules? Here's the DotNetNuke method for sending off a message.

public static System.String SendMail ( System.String MailFrom , System.String MailTo , System.String Cc , System.String Bcc , DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.MailPriority Priority , System.String Subject , DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.MailFormat BodyFormat , System.Text.Encoding BodyEncoding , System.String Body , System.String Attachment , System.String SMTPServer , System.String SMTPAuthentication , System.String SMTPUsername , System.String SMTPPassword )

But what does that really mean? Here's a simple call to the mail function from a module.

Mail.SendMail("FROM@ADDRESS.COM", "TO@ADDRESS.COM", "", "THIS IS THE SUBJECT", "THIS IS THE MESSAGE BODY", "", "HTML", "", "", "", "" );

Could it get any simpler than that?

Actually it could! Here's another signature for sendmail

public static System.String SendMail ( System.String MailFrom , System.String MailTo , System.String Bcc , System.String Subject , System.String Body , System.String Attachment , System.String BodyType , System.String SMTPServer , System.String SMTPAuthentication , System.String SMTPUsername , System.String SMTPPassword )
