Examples

The following code example demonstrates adding an address to the Bcc address collection.

static void CreateBccTestMessage( String^ server )
{
   MailAddress^ from = gcnew MailAddress( L"[email protected]",L"Ben Miller" );
   MailAddress^ to = gcnew MailAddress( L"[email protected]",L"Jane Clayton" );
   MailMessage^ message = gcnew MailMessage( from,to );
   message->Subject = L"Using the SmtpClient class.";
   message->Body = L"Using this feature, you can send an email message from an application very easily.";
   MailAddress^ bcc = gcnew MailAddress( L"[email protected]" );
   message->Bcc->Add( bcc );
   SmtpClient^ client = gcnew SmtpClient( server );
   client->Credentials = CredentialCache::DefaultNetworkCredentials;
   Console::WriteLine( L"Sending an email message to {0} and {1}.", to->DisplayName, message->Bcc );
   try
   { 
       client->Send( message );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ ex )
   {
       Console::WriteLine(L"Exception caught in CreateBccTestMessage(): {0}", 
                     ex->ToString() );
   }
   client->~SmtpClient();
}

public static void CreateBccTestMessage(string server)
{
    MailAddress from = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Ben Miller");
    MailAddress to = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Jane Clayton");
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
    message.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
    message.Body = @"Using this feature, you can send an email message from an application very easily.";
    MailAddress bcc = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
    message.Bcc.Add(bcc);
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
    client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
    Console.WriteLine("Sending an email message to {0} and {1}.",
        to.DisplayName, message.Bcc.ToString());

    try
    {
        client.Send(message);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateBccTestMessage(): {0}",
            ex.ToString());
    }
}

Public Shared Sub CreateBccTestMessage(ByVal server As String)
    Dim from As MailAddress = New MailAddress("[email protected]", "Ben Miller")
    Dim [to] As MailAddress = New MailAddress("[email protected]", "Jane Clayton")

    Dim bcc As MailAddress = New MailAddress("[email protected]")
    message.Bcc.Add(bcc)
    Dim client As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient(server)
    client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
    Console.WriteLine("Sending an email message to {0} and {1}.", [to].DisplayName, message.Bcc.ToString())

    Try
        client.Send(message)
    Catch ex As Exception
        Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateBccTestMessage(): {0}", ex.ToString())
    End Try
End Sub

Remarks

To add a BCC recipient to an email message, create a MailAddress for the recipient's address, and then add that object to the collection returned by the Bcc property.

When recipients view an email message, the Bcc addresses are usually not displayed.
