Load Email in C# and VB.NET
Besides retrieving an email from a server, GemBox.Email can also enable you to load an email from a physical file (when providing a file's path) or an in-memory file (when providing a file's stream) by using MailMessage.Load overload methods.
The following example shows how you can load a MailMessage object from a file and display its properties on your Console application by using C# or VB.NET code.
using System;
using GemBox.Email;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// If using the Professional version, put your serial key below.
ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY");
// Load message from email file.
MailMessage message = MailMessage.Load("%InputFileName%");
// Read message information.
Console.WriteLine($"Date: {message.Date}");
Console.WriteLine($"Subject: {message.Subject}");
Console.WriteLine($"From: {message.From}");
Console.WriteLine($"To: {message.To}");
if (message.Cc.Count > 0)
Console.WriteLine($"Cc: {message.Cc}");
if (message.Bcc.Count > 0)
Console.WriteLine($"Bcc: {message.Bcc}");
if (message.Attachments.Count > 0)
Console.WriteLine($"Attachments: {message.Attachments.Count}");
Console.WriteLine();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(message.BodyHtml))
Console.WriteLine(message.BodyText);
else
Console.WriteLine(message.BodyHtml);
}
}Imports System
Imports GemBox.Email
Module Program
Sub Main()
' If using the Professional version, put your serial key below.
ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY")
' Load message from email file.
Dim message As MailMessage = MailMessage.Load("%InputFileName%")
' Read message information.
Console.WriteLine($"Date: {message.Date}")
Console.WriteLine($"Subject: {message.Subject}")
Console.WriteLine($"From: {message.From}")
Console.WriteLine($"To: {message.To}")
If (message.Cc.Count > 0) Then
Console.WriteLine($"Cc: {message.Cc}")
End If
If (message.Bcc.Count > 0) Then
Console.WriteLine($"Bcc: {message.Bcc}")
End If
If (message.Attachments.Count > 0) Then
Console.WriteLine($"Attachments: {message.Attachments.Count}")
End If
Console.WriteLine()
If (String.IsNullOrEmpty(message.BodyHtml)) Then
Console.WriteLine(message.BodyText)
Else
Console.WriteLine(message.BodyHtml)
End If
End Sub
End ModuleWhen using the MailMessage.Load(String) method, GemBox.Email will select the required MailMessageFormat based on the file's extension. So, for a file named Example.msg, it will use MailMessageFormat.Msg and for a file named Example.eml it will use MailMessageFormat.Eml.
