Thank you for your continued support!

All updates to this library is documented in our CHANGELOG.

Installation

Setup Environment Variables

First, get your free SendGrid account here.

Next, update your Environment (user space) with your SENDGRID_API_KEY.

Install Package

To use SendGrid in your C# project, you can either download the SendGrid C# .NET libraries directly from our Github repository or, if you have the NuGet package manager installed, you can grab them automatically.

PM> Install-Package SendGrid

Once you have the SendGrid libraries properly referenced in your project, you can include calls to them in your code. For a sample implementation, check the Example folder.

Add the following namespaces to use the library:

using System;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
using SendGrid;
using SendGrid.Helpers.Mail; // Include if you want to use the Mail Helper

Dependencies

Quick Start

using System;
using SendGrid;
using SendGrid.Helpers.Mail;

namespace Example
{
    internal class Example
    {

        {
            String apiKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("NAME_OF_THE_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_FOR_YOUR_SENDGRID_KEY", EnvironmentVariableTarget.User);
            dynamic sg = new SendGridAPIClient(apiKey);

            Email from = new Email("test@example.com");
            String subject = "Hello World from the SendGrid CSharp Library";
            Email to = new Email("test@example.com");
            Content content = new Content("text/plain", "Textual content");
            Mail mail = new Mail(from, subject, to, content);

            dynamic response = sg.client.mail.send.post(requestBody: mail.Get());
        }
    }
}
