When using this class how come the examples I see on the internet do not include statements for port number, username and password, and servername?

I'm going to be using this class on a client app and I think I need to supply this information but do not know how to code it.

System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient([Host], [Port]);<br />smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential([UserName], [Password]);

If you prefer, use the config file (web.config, app.config).

<system.net&gt<br />	<mailSettings><br />		<smtp><br />			<network host="" port="" userName="" password="" /><br />		</smtp><br />	</mailSettings><br />&lt/system.net>

Solution 3

You need to use System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient[^] and then SmtpClient.Credentials[^].

Simple credential:

client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password);
