Examples

The following code example displays an error message when the SmtpException exception is thrown.

static void RetryIfBusy( String^ server )
{
   MailAddress^ from = gcnew MailAddress( L"[email protected]" );
   MailAddress^ to = gcnew MailAddress( L"[email protected]" );
   MailMessage^ message = gcnew MailMessage( from,to );
   
   // message.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
   message->Subject = L"Using the SmtpClient class.";
   message->Body = L"Using this feature, you can send an email message from an application very easily.";
   
   // Add a carbon copy recipient.
   MailAddress^ copy = gcnew MailAddress( L"[email protected]" );
   message->CC->Add( copy );
   SmtpClient^ client = gcnew SmtpClient( server );
   
   // Include credentials if the server requires them.
   client->Credentials = dynamic_cast<ICredentialsByHost^>(CredentialCache::DefaultNetworkCredentials);
   Console::WriteLine( L"Sending an email message to {0} using the SMTP host {1}.", to->Address, client->Host );
