Question

Is there any good library for sending mails in c#? something like actionmailer in rails. I know the .net framework has some classes but I’m looking for something like a wrapper that fits specific scenarios hopefully saving me some time.

Answer 1

System.Web.UI.WebControls.MailDefinition

The MailDefinition class can be used
by controls to create a MailMessage
object from a text file or a string
that contains the body of the e-mail
message. Use the MailDefinition class
to simplify creating predefined e-mail
messages to be sent by a control. If
you want to send e-mail not using a
control, see the System.Net.Mail
class.

You can make text substitutions in the
body of the e-mail message by passing
to the CreateMailMessage method an
IDictionary instance that maps strings
to their replacements.

The MailMessage object created by the
MailDefinition class is sent using the
Send method of the SmtpClient class.
To be able to send e-mail, you must
configure an SMTP mail server in your
Web.config file. For more information,
see the Element (Network
Settings).

Doesn’t support databinding, just text replacement.
