Question

I have a datagrid view with three columns and one button column. My aim is that I want to send an automatic email to the specified mail id when I click on the button in button column of the datagrid view.

Is it possible to do so that if I click on the button column, a mail will be sent to this mail id: [e-mail]?

The corresponding row values will be attached to body of the mail. Is it possible to do these three steps:

1. Handling the click event (button column click event)..
2. Finding the corresponding row values and attached to mail body
3. Sending the email to given mail id (if I click on the button column (only on the button))

Would anyone suggest me any ideas for doing these all? I am doing WinForms application using C#.

EDIT :

private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) 
{ 
    if (e.ColumnIndex != 3) 
        return; 
    object col1 = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Value; 
    object col2 = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value; 
    object col3 = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Value; 
} 

But I don’t know how to get the row values and send an email.

Answer 1

In your example you already got the row values corresponding to the row being clicked:

object col1 = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Value; 
object col2 = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value; 
object col3 = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Value;

as far as sending an email in .NET is concerned, you could use the SmtpClient class. Here’s an example with Gmail:

var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[e-mail]", "secret");

var mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress("[e-mail]");
mail.To.Add("[e-mail]");
mail.Subject = "This is the subject of the mail";
mail.Body = "This is the body of the mail";
client.Send(mail);

Of course you should adapt your Smtp server configuration to match your settings.
