Gets or sets the from address for this e-mail message.
(in System.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property From As MailAddress
Dim instance As MailMessage
Dim value As MailAddress
value = instance.From
instance.From = value
public MailAddress From { get; set; }
public:
property MailAddress^ From {
MailAddress^ get ();
void set (MailAddress^ value);
}
public function get From () : MailAddress
public function set From (value : MailAddress)
The from address is not validated or tied to the currently logged on user.
The following code example demonstrates setting a value for the From property.
public static void CreateCopyMessage(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.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
message.Body = @"Using this feature, you can send an e-mail message from an application very easily.";
// Add a carbon copy recipient.
MailAddress copy = new MailAddress("Notification_List@contoso.com");
message.CC.Add(copy);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
// Include credentials if the server requires them.
client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
Console.WriteLine("Sending an e-mail message to {0} by using the SMTP host {1}.",
to.Address, client.Host);
try {
client.Send(message);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateCopyMessage(): {0}",
ex.ToString() );
}
}
static void CreateCopyMessage( 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 = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
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.";
// Add a carbon copy recipient.
MailAddress^ copy = gcnew MailAddress( L"Notification_List@contoso.com" );
message->CC->Add( copy );
SmtpClient^ client = gcnew SmtpClient( server );
// Include credentials if the server requires them.
client->Credentials = CredentialCache::DefaultNetworkCredentials;
Console::WriteLine( L"Sending an e-mail message to {0} by using the SMTP host {1}.", to->Address, client->Host );
client->Send( message );
client->~SmtpClient();
