ExactTarget triggered email sender

==================================

This library simplifies the creation and triggering of ExactTarget "Triggered Send Definitions" via the ExactTarget API. 

Get it from Nuget:

```

PM> Install-Package ExactTarget.TriggerEmailSender

```

Triggering an email	

-------------------

```C#

//create configuration

var config = new ExactTargetConfiguration

{

	ApiUserName = "API_User",

	ApiPassword = "API_Password",

	//use your endpoint given to you by ET

	EndPoint = "https://webservice.s6.exacttarget.com/Service.asmx",

	ClientId = 6269485,//optional business unit id

};

//above code is only for demonstration purposes

//ideally you would want to load your configuration from a configuration file		

```

```C#

//the email to trigger

 var triggeredEmail = new ExactTargetTriggeredEmail("external-key-of-trigger", 

                                "[email protected]" );

//specify values for the Data Extension if any (optional)

triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("DataExtensionFieldName1", "Value 1");

triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("DataExtensionFieldName2", "Value 2");

//trigger the email

var emailTrigger = new EmailTrigger(config);

emailTrigger.Trigger(triggeredEmail);

```

Creating a new Triggered Send Definition with a "Paste HTML" email in ExactTarget

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In only 3 lines of code you can create a TriggeredSendDefinition

in ExactTarget that you can then use to send an HTML email (with tracking)

to a recipient. When triggering an email you only need to supply 

recipient address, subject, html body and optionally html head content.

```C#

//create and start Triggered Send (only required to do this once)

var triggeredEmailCreator = new TriggeredEmailCreator(config);

triggeredEmailCreator.CreateTriggeredSendDefinitionWithPasteHtml("new-external-key");

triggeredEmailCreator.StartTriggeredSend("new-external-key");

```

* The above example will create a Triggered Send Definition,

Data Extension with "Subject" and "Body" and "Head", Paste HTML Email

and a Delivery Profile for the Data Extension without header and footer

in ExactTarget.

Now you can trigger an email:

```C#

var triggeredEmail = new ExactTargetTriggeredEmail("new-external-key", 

										"[email protected]");

triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("Subject","Test email");

triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("Body",

	"
Test paragraph
" +

	"
This is some text in red
");

triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("Head",".red{color:red}");


var emailTrigger = new EmailTrigger(config);

emailTrigger.Trigger(triggeredEmail);

```

Creating a new Triggered Send Definition with an email template in ExactTarget

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In only 3 lines of code you can create a TriggeredSendDefinition

in ExactTarget that you can then use to send an HTML email (with tracking)

to a recipient. When triggering an email you only need to supply 

recipient address, subject, and html body content.

```C#

//create and start Triggered Send (only required to do this once)

var triggeredEmailCreator = new TriggeredEmailCreator(config);

triggeredEmailCreator.CreateTriggeredSendDefinitionWithEmailTemplate(

						"new-external-key",

						".red{color:red}", 

						"");

triggeredEmailCreator.StartTriggeredSend("new-external-key");

```

* The above example will create a Triggered Send Definition,

Data Extension with "Subject" and "Body",

Paste HTML Email Template, an Email from that template

and a Delivery Profile for the Data Extension without header and footer

in ExactTarget.

Now you can trigger an email:

```C#

var triggeredEmail = new ExactTargetTriggeredEmail("new-external-key", 

										"[email protected]");

triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("Subject","Test email");

triggeredEmail.AddReplacementValue("Body", 

	"
Test paragraph
This is some text in red
");


var emailTrigger = new EmailTrigger(config);

emailTrigger.Trigger(triggeredEmail);

```
