Send Email with Event Handler in C# from Windows Store Apps - XAML - UWP

In previous section, I introduced how to send email with embedded image. In this section, I will introduce how to send email with event handler in C#.

Introduction

In previous examples, after SendMailAsync method is invoked, if you want to know the progress of the email sending, you should use Event Handler. The following sample codes demonstrate how to use Event Handler to monitor the progress of email sending.

Note

Remarks: All of samples in this section are based on first section: Send email in A simple C# XAML Windows Store App project. To compile and run the following example codes successfully, please click here to learn how to create the test project and add reference of EASendMail to your project.

[C# - Send email with event handler]

The following example codes demonstrate how to use EASendMail SMTP component to send email with event handler.
