Sending Email From Class

This way can be so helpfull, but, some people (like me) are afreak of repeat code, and like you are showin us, it means that I need to create a contact controller with the same code on each proyect that we have, so, I thing that this can be helpfull too

This is my class, that can be on a DLL or whatever

 public class Emails
    {
        public static void SendHtmlEmail(string receiverEmail, string subject, string body, bool Ssl = false)
        {
            //Those are read it from webconfig or appconfig
            var client = new SmtpClient(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailServer"], Convert.ToInt16

                (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailPort"]))
            {
                Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailSender"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailSenderPassword"]),
                EnableSsl = Ssl
            };

            MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
            message.From = new MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailSender"]);
            message.To.Add(receiverEmail);
            // message.To.Add("sgermosen@praysoft.net");
            message.Subject = subject;
            message.IsBodyHtml = true;
            message.Body = body;
            client.Send(message);
        }

    }

like you see it will read from the webconfig, so, we need to configured it, this configuration is for Gmail, but, every host have their own configuration

 <appSettings>
    <add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
    <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
    <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="AdminUser" value="sgrysoft@gmail.com" />
    <add key="AdminPassWord" value="123456789" />
    <add key="SMTPName" value="smtp.gmail.com" />
    <add key="SMTPPort" value="587" />

  </appSettings>
