S22.Mail: A C# repository from danielgg88

Introduction

This repository contains a .NET assembly which adds a couple of extension methods to the MailMessage class of the System.Net.Mail namespace. It also contains a serializable replica of the MailMessage class.

Usage & Examples

To use the library add the S22.Mail.dll assembly to your project references in Visual Studio. The SerializableMailMessage class implements conversion operators to allow for implicit conversion between SerializableMailMessage and MailMessage objects.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
using S22.Mail;

namespace Test {
	class Program {
		static void Main() {
			MailMessage msg = MyMailMessage();

			IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
			using(MemoryStream s = new MemoryStream()) {
				// Serialize MailMessage to memory stream
				formatter.Serialize(s, (SerializableMailMessage)message);

				// Rewind stream and deserialize MailMessage
				s.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
				MailMessage Tmp = (SerializableMailMessage)formatter.Deserialize(s)

				Console.WriteLine(Tmp.Subject);
				Console.WriteLine(Tmp.Body);
			}
		}

		static MailMessage MyMailMessage() {
			MailMessage m = new MailMessage("John@Doe.com", "Jane@Doe.com");

			m.Subject = "Hello World";
			m.Body = "This is just a test";
			m.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("Test.cs""));

			return m;
		}
	}
}
