MailAddress Constructor (String, String)

 

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 Sub New (
	address As String,
	displayName As String
)

Parameters

address
Type: System.String

A String that contains an e-mail address.

displayName
Type: System.String

A String that contains the display name associated with address. This parameter can be null.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

address is null.

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 null 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.
