Hi Guys,

I have one web application in asp.net c# and windows application in c#.

This application is basically created for Exam Centers.

Web Application is used to Create Candidates, Certificates and ExamSessions.

Where as Windows application is used by the Candidate to write the Exam.

My turn is to create windows services to send email, whenever ExamSession is created.

What I have tried:

I have to use the WebApplication Business logic and send Email.

I haven't created windows services.

I searched on Google. but.. i'm not clear.

Please guys help me.

Thanks

Not clear on what? Writing a Windows Service or sending an email? If you already have code that sends an email, that doesn't change. The application type has no impact on the code that sends an email.

If you're asking about writing a Windows Service, Google for "C# Windows Service Tutorial".

You'll want to use the SMTPClient class. Documentation and example here, SmtpClient Class (System.Net.Mail)[^]
