Introduction
This articles explains about how to send an content of a
gridview through email to multiple recipients email .
Objective
To get the basic idea sending a content of a gridview
through email to multiple recepients.
Using the code
Here I am using two pages in my application.
.Pag1.aspx-Used to send the details of the person (any specific
User) using Querystring mechanism.
.Page2.aspx-To view the
details of the user in a gridview
// write code here
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function validate() {
var x = document.getElementById('txtCustomerID');
if (x.value == '') {
alert('Please enter the User Name');
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
</script>
</head>
//Under page design i have used an client side validation for validating
the empty fields of the person name
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function validate() {
var x = document.getElementById('txtCustomerID');
if (x.value == '') {
alert('Please enter the User Name');
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
</script>/
/The below page design specifies the controls used.<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<table align="center" id="tbl1" runat="server">
<tr>
<td>
Enter Customer Name
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtCustomerID" runat="server" Height="20px" Width="128px"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="btnSend" runat="server" Text="Send Email" class="mybutton"
onclick="btnAddtoList_Click" OnClientClick="return validate()" ValidationGroup="v1" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</form>
</body>
The below line specifies the connection string to connect it to database
string Conn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDBConnection"].ConnectionString;
//The below is an button click event with querystring concept which
populates the names from the //tbl_Registration table whose details can be viewed
in a gridview control and send it as an email from //page2.aspx
protected void btnSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string Serial = txtCustomerID.Text.Trim();
SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(Conn);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from tbl_registrations where Name='" + Serial + "' ", cnn);
SqlDataAdapter ada = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ada.Fill(ds);
if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
{
Response.Redirect("SendEmails.aspx?Name="+Serial+"");
}
else
{
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Alert", "alert('No User exist');", true);
}
}
//Here is conclusion of page1.aspx’s functionality once the users clicks a
button the control reflects to //another page i.e:page2.aspx.
Page2’s.aspx
The below is an .aspx page design code with TextBox ,CheckboxList ,ListBox
and Gridview controls which are being used to view and send the details of the
User through email.

Conclusion
The
main intention of this article is written due to some of the users need to send
an email with an attachment file to their recepients which I have made it.
