In previous section, I introduced how to encrypt email with digital certificate. In this section, I will introduce how to send email with event handler in C#.
In previous examples, after SendMail 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# 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.
The following example codes demonstrate how to send email with event handler in C#.

To get the full sample projects, please refer to Samples section.

// Add event handlers to current SmtpClient instance.
