Open outlook message window in wpf
In this blog I am trying to explain the concept of how can I open outlook message window in wpf.
You can firstly add the reference of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook for add reference in solution explorer and then create a simple UI like below image:-
.xaml code:
<Window x:Class="wpfMailClient.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<Button Content="btnSend" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="416,252,0,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Click="button1_Click" />
<TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="111,25,0,0" Name="txtEmail" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="380" />
<TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="111,54,0,0" Name="txtSubject" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="380" />
<Label Content="Email" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="40,21,0,0" Name="lblEmail" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<Label Content="Subject" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="40,50,0,0" Name="lblSubject" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<TextBox Height="157" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="111,88,0,0" Name="txtBody" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="380" />
</Grid>
</Window>
.cs Code:-
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
namespace wpfMailClient
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application outlookApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem message =
(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)outlookApp.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
message.Subject = "Testing Mail!";
message.Recipients.Add("some@email.com");
message.Body = "Hello. This is body area, write your mail here.";
message.Display(false);
}
}
}
