Difference betwwen Custom Object And Custom Setting.

Simple difference between custom object and custom setting:-

Send email with attachment from Apex class and VF Page in salesforce.

Hi friends,

This post shows how to send Email with Attachment using Apex Controller and VF Page.

I am writing this post because it’s a common requirement to sends emails from salesforce with attachment to clients, contacts etc.

As per my knowledge there are two ways to send email from Apex:-

1.      By using email templates.

2.      By using Messaging class.

Here I am using Messaging class for sending email from apex class:-

	<apex:page controller="EmailComposePageController" sidebar="false">
	<apex:form style="width: 70%; margin-left: 15%;">
	<apex:pageMessages ></apex:pageMessages>
	<apex:pageBlock title="Email">
	TO::<apex:inputText style="width:100%" value="{!emailVal}"/><br>
	CC::<apex:inputText style="width:100%" value="{!cc}"/> </br><br>
	Subject::<apex:inputText style="width:100%" value="{!emailSubject}"/></br><br>
	Attachment::<apex:inputFile value="{!att.body}" fileName="{!att.name}"/>
	<apex:commandButton title="Upload" action="{!upload}" value="Upload"/><BR/>
	<apex:repeat value="{!attList}" var="att">
	{!att.Name}<br/>
	</apex:repeat>
	<br/>BODY::</br><br>
	<apex:inputTextarea style="height:300px; width:100%" value="{!body}"/></br>
	<apex:commandButton value="Send Mail" action="{!sendMail}"/>
	</apex:pageBlock>
	</apex:form>
	</apex:page>
