The message does not exist in the current context

Question

1.00/5 (2 votes)

See more:

message.ISBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smpt.gmail.com", 587);
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("sprudhviraj17@gmail.com", "prudhviraj");
client.Send(message);

from the above code its showing message does not exist in the current context

What I have tried:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Net.Mail;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(To.Text, From.Text, Subject.Text, Body.Text);
message.ISBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smpt.gmail.com", 587);
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("sprudhviraj17@gmail.com", "prudhviraj");
client.Send(message);
Status.Text = "mail sent sucessfully";
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Status.Text = ex.StackTrace;

}

Status.Text = "Send is clicked";
}
}

If those are your real GMail credentials that you've just posted to a public forum, then you URGENTLY need to change your password, before your account is hijacked.

And this time, choose a strong password. Or better yet, use a password manager and let that generate a strong password for you.

Solution 1

You declared a variable with name "mail", not "message". This is a really very basic thing, did you even try to solve it by yourself?

Also, I recommend you to remove your email credentials from your question.

Try:

MailMessage message = new MailMessage(To.Text, From.Text, Subject.Text, Body.Text);
message.ISBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smpt.gmail.com", 587);
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("sprudhviraj17@gmail.com", "prudhviraj");
client.Send(message);
Status.Text = "mail sent sucessfully";

Solution 3

It should be

C#

client.Send(mail);

because your mail message object is mail not message.
