MailEnable COM Wrapper to Add Email Users

May 28

Having worked with MailEnable in the past, I figured it would be the perfect solution for a custom CMS I have been working on for my significant other’s FanFiction website.

So when I wanted to use them in a project I’m working on in Asp.Net MVC, I wasn’t very shocked the MVC DropDownList extension didn’t exist for it.
