This example demonstrates how to email a report with the MailKit email client library. Run the application, enter the SMTP host name, port, smtp credentials if needed, and click Send to email a document to the address you specified earlier in the report export options.
To specify the report export options for email, use the report's ExportOptions.Email property.
Before you click Send, you can choose from two mail options:
- Send a report in HTML format in the email message body and in the attached PDF file. The ExportToMail method creates HTML part of MailMessage object, the ExportToPdf method creates a PDF stream attached to the MailMessage instance. After converting the message into a MimeMessage object, the MailKit's SmtpClient object calls the SendAsync method to send the message.
- Send a report as PDF attachment. The ExportToPdf method creates a PDF stream that the BoduyBuilder class uses to create an attachment for the MimeMessage object. The MailKit's SmtpClient object calls the SendAsync method to send the message.
The following image shows an email in which the report is included both in the HTML body and as a PDF attachment.
