System.Web.SmtpMail becomes System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient

posted Saturday, April 16, 2005 9:40 PM

// set smtp server

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SMTPServer"].ToString();

// send mail
SmtpMail.Send(from, to, subject, body);

Now becomes:

SmtpClient mail = new SmtpClient();
mail.Host = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SMTPServer"]
mail.Send(from, to, subject, body);

Good that makes far more sense... it almost seemed like the framework designers for that area thought SMTP was a "web thing".. quite strange. In fact I didn't even discover it until like a year after I started using .Net because I never thought of looking in that namespace for it!

Also there are several email related classes have been deprecated:

1- System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail
2- System.Web.Mail.MailFormat (enum)
3- System.Web.Mail.MailEncoding
4- System.Web.Mail.MailAttachment
5- System.Web.Mail.MailMessage

It's now adviced to use the classes in System.Net.Mail instead of them, for example, use System.Net.Mail.MailMessage instead of System.Web.Mail.MailMessage

Hello, i get "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address" for the code below:

(i already have the system.net namespace on the top of my aspx page so I don't have to put in systme.net.mail... all the time)

Dim msg As Mail.MailMessage = New Mail.MailMessage
Dim address As Mail.MailAddress = New Mail.MailAddress("asaf@nyc.rr.com")
msg.To.Add(address)
msg.IsBodyHtml = True
msg.Body = "test"
msg.Subject = "test"
Dim smtp As Mail.SmtpClient = New Mail.SmtpClient
smtp.Send(msg)
