Aspose.Network 3.0 makes it simpler and easier to create E-Mail newsletter or subscription solutions. A new sophisticated E-Mail Template Engine is embeded, which provides lots of cool features and function and greatly reduce the the programming works.

Top Features in MailMerge:

• The First Email Component supports using Customer Defined Function in the template. For example, you can register a TemplateRoutine, and use it in the template file.
• Creates E-mail template from file
• Creates E-mail template from MailMessage instance
• Supports DataTable as data source.
• Supports DataRowCollection as data source
• Supports DataReader as data source
• Asynchronous and Synchronous programming models
• Support Event model

A new class called TemplateEngine is created, for generating the E-Mail messages from the template and data source. After the E-Mail messages is created by the TemplateEngine , Use the SmtpClient to send the messages.

Sample:

 [C#]

 //template routine to provide signature
 static object GetSignature(object[] args)
 {
    return "John Smith<br>Product Lead<br>Aspose Ltd.<br>" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
 }

 static void Main(string[] args)
 {

 //create a new MailMessage instance as a template
 MailMessage template = new MailMessage();
 
 //add template field to subject
 template.Subject = "Hello, #FirstName#";
 template.From = "sale@aspose.com";
 
 //add template field to receipt
 template.To.Add(new MailAddress("#Receipt#", false));
 
 //add template field to html body
 //use GetSignment as the template routine, which will provide the same signature.
 template.HtmlBody = "Dear #FirstName# #LastName#,<br><br>";
 template.HtmlBody += "Thank you for your interest in <STRONG>Aspose.Network</STRONG>.";
 template.HtmlBody += "<br><br>Have fun with it.<br><br>#GetSignature()#";
 
 //create a new TemplateEngine with the template message.
 TemplateEngine engine = new TemplateEngine(template);
 
 //register the GetSignment as a templet routine, for we use it in the template.
 engine.RegisterRoutine("GetSignature", new TemplateRoutine(GetSignature));

 //fill a DataTable as data source
 DataTable dt = new DataTable();
 dt.Columns.Add("Receipt", typeof(string));
 dt.Columns.Add("FirstName", typeof(string));
 dt.Columns.Add("LastName", typeof(string));

 DataRow dr;
 dr = dt.NewRow();
 dr["Receipt"] = "Nancy.Davolio<Nancy@somedomain.com>";
 dr["FirstName"] = "Nancy";
 dr["LastName"] = "Davolio";
 dt.Rows.Add(dr);
 dr = dt.NewRow();
 dr["Receipt"] = "Andrew.Fuller<Andrew@somedomain.com>";
 dr["FirstName"] = "Andrew";
 dr["LastName"] = "Fuller";
 dt.Rows.Add(dr);
 dr = dt.NewRow();
 dr["Receipt"] = "Janet.Leverling<Janet@somedomain.com>";
 dr["FirstName"] = "Janet";
 dr["LastName"] = "Leverling";
 dt.Rows.Add(dr);
 
 MailMessageCollection messages;
 try
 {
   //create the messages from the template and datasource.
   messages= engine.Instantiate(dt);

   SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.somedomain.com", 25, "someone","password");

   client.BulkSendAsync(messages, null);
 }
 catch (MailException ex)
 {
   System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
 }
 catch (SmtpException ex)
 {
  System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
 }

//template routine to provide signature
 Shared Function GetSignature(ByVal args() As Object) As Object
     Return "John Smith<br>Product Lead<br>Aspose Ltd.<br>" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()
