Hi,

I opened already existing mail.I clicked Forward button. I entered some

valid email address in To field. Without entering anything I clicked Send

button.

My requirement is how to know that I didn't enter anything.

i.e I want to know the length of newly entered text which is 0.

How to calculate this value?

Thanks

Get the length of the Body and/or HTMLBody properties when the item opens,

get it again when the Send() event fires. Compare the 2 values.

Thank you Ken for your reply.

My requirement is when I open an existing mail item and click Forward

button, it will automatically add 2 blank lines. So when I calculate the

difference between those two values it is even counting blank characters also.

I declared one variable originalMessage and assigned it a value in the

mail_Forward event as follows

originalMessage = forwardMail.HTMLBody;

In the Item_Send event I am calculating legth as follows

length = mailItem.HTMLBody.Trim()Length - originalMessage.Trim().Length

where length is coming as 1537

I want to validate new message length to be 0 since I didn't enter any new

characters. How to do this in c#

Thanks

I don't understand your issue. Add the 2 lines, then calculate the length,

then do what you're doing in Send() and get the difference. The code you

show should work,
