MailBrowserControl tutorial

You can now display emails in Windows Forms applications:

1. First you need to add reference to the three assemblies:
   
   • Mail.dll
   • MailBrowserControl.dll
   • ProtocolEx.dll
   
2. Add MailBrowserControl to the Toolbox:
3. Drag and drop the control on to the form.
4. Then just use Navigate method:
   
   C#: private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { ISimpleMailMessage mail = this.LoadEmail(@"..\..\..\HTMLMail.eml"); mailBrowser1.Navigate(new MailHtmlDataProvider(mail)); } VB.NET: Private Sub Button1_Click( _ ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim mail As ISimpleMailMessage = LoadEmail("..\..\..\HTMLMail.eml") Dim mailHtml As New MailHtmlDataProvider(mail) mailBrowser1.Navigate(mailHtml) End Sub
5. That's it! Note that all images and HTML are loaded from memory, no temporary files were created.

You can find working example in the Mail.dll download package.
