Pass Record ID to MvcMailer

[Dotbyte]

Great framework and easy for a beginner like myself to implement.

However I have problems when I am trying to pass a record id to the mail view.

I am wanting to use MvcMailer to email a view of a new record (Code below). Can you example this scenerio? I can understand if this request is outside the remit of this forum.

[HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(Form Form) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { storeDB.Forms.Add(Form); storeDB.SaveChanges();

// get id
int newID = Form.ID;

var forms = from r in storeDB.Forms
            orderby r.FORMNAMEID, r.DateAction ascending
            where r.ID == newID
            select r

UserMailer.Welcome().Send(); 
//return RedirectToAction("Index");
return View("Successful");

}

Kind regards

Andrew

Add a parameter to your welcome method and then pass it as view bag as you would do from your controller.

Thanks for your quick response. I have tried adding parameters to

public virtual MailMessage Welcome(int id)

but receive

'FormMVC.Mailers.UserMailer' does not implement interface member 'FormMVC.Mailers.IUserMailer.Welcome()'

I think my beginner's hat is large!

Change the interface inside mailers.

Thanks you for your help. Finally got my head round it :)

IUserMailer.cs:

public interface IUserMailer { MailMessage Welcome(int id);
MailMessage PasswordReset(); }

UserMailer.cs:

public class UserMailer : MailerBase, IUserMailer
{

    // db connection
    FormEntities storeDB = new FormEntities();

    public UserMailer():
        base()
    {
        MasterName="_Layout";
    }

    public virtual MailMessage Welcome(int id)
    {

        Form form = storeDB.Forms.Find(id);
        var mailMessage = new MailMessage{Subject = "Thank you for your Gifts and Hospitalty submission on " + DateTime.Now };

        ViewBag.FirstName = form.Firstname;
        ViewBag.Surname = form.Surname;
        ViewBag.EmailAddress = form.EmailAddress;

        string emailTo = form.EmailAddress;

        mailMessage.To.Add(emailTo);

        PopulateBody(mailMessage, viewName: "Welcome");

        return mailMessage;
    }

    public virtual MailMessage PasswordReset()
    {
        var mailMessage = new MailMessage{Subject = "PasswordReset"};

        //mailMessage.To.Add("some-email@example.com");

        PopulateBody(mailMessage, viewName: "PasswordReset");

        return mailMessage;
    }

}
