Examples

The following code example demonstrates using this method.

static void CreateTestMessage2( String^ server )
{
   String^ to = L"[email protected]";
   String^ from = L"[email protected]";
   MailMessage^ message = gcnew MailMessage( from,to );
   message->Subject = L"Using the new SMTP client.";
   message->Body = L"Using this new feature, you can send an email message from an application very easily.";
   SmtpClient^ client = gcnew SmtpClient( server );
   
   // Credentials are necessary if the server requires the client 
   // to authenticate before it will send email on the client's behalf.
   client->UseDefaultCredentials = true;
   client->Send( message );
   client->~SmtpClient();
}

public static void CreateTestMessage2(string server)
{
    string to = "[email protected]";
    string from = "[email protected]";
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
    message.Subject = "Using the new SMTP client.";
    message.Body = @"Using this new feature, you can send an email message from an application very easily.";
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
    // Credentials are necessary if the server requires the client
    // to authenticate before it will send email on the client's behalf.
    client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

    try
    {
        client.Send(message);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateTestMessage2(): {0}",
            ex.ToString());
    }
}

Remarks

This method blocks while the email is transmitted. You can specify a time-out value using the Timeout property to ensure that the method returns after a specified amount of time elapses.

Before calling this method, the Host and Port properties must be set either through the configuration files by setting the relevant properties, or by passing this information into the SmtpClient(String, Int32) constructor.

You cannot call this method if there is a message being sent asynchronously.

If the SMTP host requires credentials, you must set them before calling this method. To specify credentials, use the UseDefaultCredentials or Credentials properties.

If you receive an SmtpException exception, check the StatusCode property to find the reason the operation failed. The SmtpException can also contain an inner exception that indicates the reason the operation failed.

When sending email using Send to multiple recipients and the SMTP server accepts some recipients as valid and rejects others, Send sends email to the accepted recipients and then a SmtpFailedRecipientsException is thrown (or a SmtpFailedRecipientException if only one recipient is rejected). A SmtpFailedRecipientsException contains a list of the recipients that were rejected.
