I have a form that returns ActionResult that sends an email after completing the operation.
I would like to leave this email asynchronous, because it takes a lot of the time, I tried to put it in a Task using the SendMailAsync method of the SmtpClient class >, however it does not work.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to send these emails asynchronously in asp.net mvc?
System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Run(() =>
{
var smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtpClient.SendMailAsync(message);
}
Edit:
Just follow the example:
public async Task SendEmail(string toEmailAddress, string emailSubject, string emailMessage)
{
var message = new MailMessage();
message.To.Add(toEmailAddress);
message.Subject = emailSubject;
message.Body = emailMessage;
using (var smtpClient = new SmtpClient())
{
await smtpClient.SendMailAsync(message);
}
}
Try the following code:
public async Task<ActionResult> MyAcation()
{
//Codigo de criacao do objeto message
Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
var smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.SendMailAsync(message);
});
return View();
}
You do not need to create a new Task with Task.Run or Task.Factory.StartNew , after all smtp.SendMailAsync already returns a Task .
All you have to do (or not do) is do not wait for it to return, ie do not use await .
public async Task<ActionResult> MyAcation()
{
var smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.SendMailAsync(message);
return View();
}
