Public ReadOnly Property DisplayName As String

String^ get ();

public function get DisplayName () : String
Display names that contain non-ASCII characters are returned in human-readable form. Use the ToString method to get the encoded form of the DisplayName.
Some software programs that are used to read e-mail display the DisplayName property value instead of, or in addition to, the e-mail address.
The following code example displays the DisplayName for the recipient of an e-mail message.
public static void CreateBccTestMessage(string server)
{
MailAddress from = new MailAddress("ben@contoso.com", "Ben Miller");
MailAddress to = new MailAddress("jane@contoso.com", "Jane Clayton");
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
message.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
message.Body = @"Using this feature, you can send an e-mail message from an application very easily.";
MailAddress bcc = new MailAddress("manager1@contoso.com");
message.Bcc.Add(bcc);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
Console.WriteLine("Sending an e-mail 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() );
}
}
static void CreateBccTestMessage( String^ server )
{
MailAddress^ from = gcnew MailAddress( L"ben@contoso.com",L"Ben Miller" );
MailAddress^ to = gcnew MailAddress( L"jane@contoso.com",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 e-mail message from an application very easily.";
MailAddress^ bcc = gcnew MailAddress( L"manager1@contoso.com" );
message->Bcc->Add( bcc );
SmtpClient^ client = gcnew SmtpClient( server );
client->Credentials = CredentialCache::DefaultNetworkCredentials;
Console::WriteLine( L"Sending an e-mail 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();
