How to give an unsubscribe option in email in asp.net C#


Unsubscribing Email  is easy if you are already maintaining the users email id's in Database.

Previously post i was explained about the  How to remove rows from GridView using jQuery in asp.net,

Nested GridView in ASP.NET Using c# with show/hide .How to Add a Locked Header Row to an ASP.NET GridView Control



Please follow the below steps:

Step 1: Create an extra column in user table as unsubscribe in database. it will take true or false values and set default as false so that every subscribed user gets email.

Note : Before sending Mails to users please check their unsubscribe column. if it is false send an Email. if it is true don't send an Email as they have unsubscribed.

Step2: Create an unsubscribing URL as below:

http://mywebsite.com/unsubscribeme/emailID=xyz@gmail.com

Step3: Send this URL to user as unsubscribe URL so that whenever he feels to unsubscribe he can do that simply by clicking on that URL.

Step4: once if user clicks on given URL read the QueryString value of emailID emailID=xyz@gmail.com

Step5: Update the user table info by setting the unsubscribe column value to true.

Example :

 //get user EmailID by QueryString as below:
 String EmailID=Reques.QueryString["emailID"].ToString();

//Update the usertable as below:
String Command ="update usertable set unsubscribe='true' where emailid='"+EmailID+"'


Most email clients only support mailto-links.

Try this, it should work always: 

mailMessage.Headers.Add("List-Unsubscribe", "<mailto:list@host.com?subject=unsubscribe>");
The RFC specifies it is possible to use http-links also. But i've found that if you include http-links, the email clients no longer shows the unsubscribe link. I think it's because of the possibility that people only have access to the mail protocol.

So this does not always work: 

 mailMessage.Headers.Add("List-Unsubscribe", "<http://www.host.com/list.cgi?cmd=unsub&lst=list>, <mailto:list-request@host.com?subject=unsubscribe>";

Check dot net core framework version in my PC Or System

 Open My Computer → double click "C:" drive → double click "Windows" → double click "Microsoft.NET" → double click "Framework" → Inside this folder, there will be folder(s) like "v1.0.3705" and/or "v2.0.50727" and/or "v3.5" and/or "v4.0.30319". Your latest .NET version would be in the highest v number folder, so if v4.0.30319 is available that would hold your latest .NET framework. However, the v4.0.30319 does not mean that you have the .NET framework version 4.0. The v4.0.30319 is your Visual C# compiler version, therefore, in order to find the .NET framework version do the following. Go to a command prompt and follow this path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 (or whatever the highest v number folder) C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 > csc.exe Output: Microsoft (R) Visual C# Compiler version 4.0.30319.17929 for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework 4.5 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporati...

ASP.NET Routing

ASP.NET routing enables you to use URLs that do not have to map to specific files in a Web site. Because the URL does not have to map to a file, you can use URLs that are descriptive of the user's action and therefore are more easily understood by users. The ASP.NET MVC framework and ASP.NET Dynamic Data extend routing to provide features that are used only in MVC applications and in Dynamic Data applications. For more information about MVC, see ASP.NET MVC 3 . For more information about Dynamic Data, see ASP.NET Dynamic Data Content Map . In an ASP.NET application that does not use routing, an incoming request for a URL typically maps to a physical file that handles the request, such as an .aspx file. For example, a request for http://server/application/Products.aspx?id=4 maps to a file that is named Products.aspx that contains code and markup for rendering a response to the browser. The Web page uses the query string value of id=4 to determine what type of c...
