MailAddress.MailAddress(String, String) Constructor

Initializes a new instance of the MailAddress class using the specified address and display name.

Namespace: System.Net.Mail
Assembly: System (in system.dll)

public:
MailAddress (
	String^ address, 
	String^ displayName
)
public MailAddress (
	String address, 
	String displayName
)
public function MailAddress (
	address : String, 
	displayName : String
)
Not applicable.

Parameters

address

A String that contains an e-mail address.

displayName

A String that contains the display name associated with address. This parameter can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exception typeCondition

ArgumentNullException

address is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

ArgumentException

address is String.Empty ("").

FormatException

address is not in a recognized format.

-or-

address contains non-ASCII characters.

Leading and trailing white space in the display name is preserved.

If displayName contains non-ASCII characters, the iso-8859-1 character set is used for the displayName encoding. Encoding non-ASCII characters is discussed in RFC 1522, which is available at http://www.ietf.org.

If address contains a display name, and displayName is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) and is not equal to String.Empty, displayName overrides the value specified in address.

The following code example uses this constructor to create MailAddress instances for the sender and 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());
    client.Send(message);
}
