Modal Dialogs in SharePoint 2010 use the client library SP.UI.ModalDialog and ShowPopupDialog. We can open Dialog without leaving the page by writing simple html markup and by calling some SP.UI.ModalDialog API’s. Most simplest and an easy way to create SharePoint Modal Dialog is, calling JavaScript function and pass only URL parameter. <a href=”javascript:SP.UI.ModalDialog.ShowPopupDialog(‘/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx?isDlg=1′);” > View All Contents < /a> isDlg=1 Optional You can simply add “&IsDlg=1″ to any SharePoint URL and the chrome will be turned off. There are some parameters specially setting the width and the height of the window and a null parameter for call back function. which for now is set to null. We can create Dialog with specified hight and width like, < a href=”javascript:SP.UI.ModalDialog.ShowPopupDialog(‘/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx?isDlg=1′, null, 500, 300);” > View All Contents...

After I getting the user, email id from item( described in Previous Post) . Now I need to send mail to the user, I tried lot of ways to send mails and finally I realise that below code is best for my scenario to send mails. SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient(); smtpClient.Host = properties.Web.Site.WebApplication.OutboundMailServiceInstance.Server.Address; MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage(MailFrom, mailTo); mailMessage.Subject = MailSubject; mailMessage.Body = MailBody; mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true; smtpClient.Send(mailMessage); here smtpClient.Host is getting the local mail server address and we include from, to and subject, body in MailMessage and finaly send the message using smtpClient.Send(mailMessage), and don’t forgot to include try catch blocks. Good luck.

There is a situation I need to add item to list and send mail to person who is on the same item xxxx field. Here xxxx is the person or group field and I set show field as “Name” [!i.e Display Name]   in list settings .   If we try to get values using properties.listItem[xxxx] it returns a junk characters with DisplayName and again we need remove the junk characters and query to user profiles to get the mail id. Sometimes [user profile not synchronized well] it didn’t query to get value based on “DisplayName”. So this situation I try to get the actual user of the filed instead of DisplayName. then i try the following code in event receiver.  SPFieldUser userField = (SPFieldUser)properties.OpenWeb().Lists[listName].Fields.GetField("xxxx"); SPFieldUserValue fieldValue=(SPFieldUserValue)userField.GetFieldValue(properties.ListItem["xxxx"].ToString()); accountName = fieldValue.User.LoginName; here fieldValue.User is SPUser,   the SPUser.logingName...
