MailAddress.ToString Method
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
The string returned by this method is not necessarily identical to the string specified when the instance was created. If the DisplayName property is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) and not equal to String.Empty (""), ToString returns a string composed using the following syntax:
If DisplayName is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or is equal to String.Empty, ToString returns the value of the Address property.

The following code example displays the destination of an e-mail message.
public static void CreateTestMessage4(string server) { MailAddress from = new MailAddress("ben@contoso.com"); MailAddress to = new MailAddress("Jane@contoso.com"); 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."; SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server); Console.WriteLine("Sending an e-mail message to {0} by using SMTP host {1} port {2}.", to.ToString(), client.Host, client.Port); client.Send(message); }
