SocialShare - Send E-mail

This RadSocialShare has only one button defined - the MailTo button. A click will trigger your system's mail client.
This RadSocialShare has only the SendEmail button. A click will trigger the built-in Send E-mail form. The EmailSettings inner property is used for configuration.
Note that the SendMail functionality requires an SMTP server set up and will not work in this demo as there is none declared for security reasons as the whole markup is visible and will expose this sensitive information. The minimum settings to make it work are SMTPServer and FromEmail (this can be a fake email address but in valid form which will be pointed in the On Behalf Of feature).

Sending emails


The RadSocialShare control offers the ability to send the link, provided in the UrlToShare property, via an E-mail, not just to the social networks. The easiest way to do so is by using the MailTo button - it triggers the system's default mail client - for example MS Outlook, Outlook Express, etc. To add this functionality you need the

<telerik:RadSocialButton SocialNetType="MailTo" />

button.


There is also another option - by using the built-in E-mail form. It requires the developer to have an SMTP server that should be used for the purpose. It is triggered via the

<telerik:RadSocialButton SocialNetType="SendEmail" />

button. More information on that is available in this help article.
