Rich Text Editor for WinForms - Build a Mail Application with the RichEditControl

This example illustrates how to use the RichEditControl to create a simple mail application that sends a loaded document in HTML format. The System.Net.Mail.MailMessage class methods are used to create a message. The message is sent with the help of the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient class instance.

Implementation Details

• Convert the loaded document into the HTML formatted stream. Use the GetHtmlText method to retrieve the loaded document as HTML formatted content.

• You can use the IUriProviderService interface implementation to embed images as linked resources.

• Handle the BeforeExport event to specify the required encoding and create a System.Net.Mail.AlternateView object required for HTML email format.
