[How Do I:] Send Email Asynchronously with ASP.NET

In this video, Chris Pels shows how to use the System.Net.Mail classes in ASP.NET to send an asynchronous email message. First, see how to configure a web site to send email using the element in the web.config file. Next, create a simple user interface for entering email information. Then learn how to create use the MailMessage class to create an email message in the code behind for the page. As part of that process create an event handler for the asynchronous callback following the sending of the email. In the event handler see how to use the instance of the AsynchCompletedEventArgs class which provides information about the email sending process. Finally, send a test email asynchronously, following the steps in the debug mode, and view the actual email received from the process.

Probably dumb question here. After watching it, what is the advantage of using this? Let me preface that I am new the terminology of Asynchronously. What is the difference of using just the mail object and using the basics?

MesfinReda,

You should put that problem in the Forum area for someone to respond. It will give you better exposure in solving your problem.

this video gives a very clear idea about how to send asynchronous mail using asp.net.

I was also expecting some description on why we will send asynchronous main instead of synchronous. what are the benefits and so on.

I'm new to building websites and ASP.NET. But i guess the idea with asynchronous email is that you don't need to wait for an answer if the mail was successful or not. That is handled by a event handler.

Dont mean to burst your bubble, but this is not really sending an email asynchronously since your using it in a Web Context...Just using the SendAsync method does not make it asynchronously!

Im looking for a way to actually not block when the sendasynch() method is called.
