SmtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials Property
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
/** @property */ public boolean get_UseDefaultCredentials () /** @property */ public void set_UseDefaultCredentials (boolean value)
public function get UseDefaultCredentials () : boolean public function set UseDefaultCredentials (value : boolean)
Property Value
true if the default credentials are used; otherwise false. The default value is false.Some SMTP servers require that the client be authenticated before the server sends e-mail on its behalf. Set this property to true when this SmtpClient object should, if requested by the server, authenticate using the default credentials of the currently logged on user. For client applications, this is the desired behavior in most scenarios.
Credentials information can also be specified using the application and machine configuration files. For more information, see mailSettings Element (Network Settings).
The following code example demonstrates using this property.
public static void CreateTestMessage2(string server) { string to = "jane@contoso.com"; string from = "ben@contoso.com"; MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to); message.Subject = "Using the new SMTP client."; message.Body = @"Using this new feature, you can send an e-mail message from an application very easily."; SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server); // Credentials are necessary if the server requires the client // to authenticate before it will send e-mail on the client's behalf. client.UseDefaultCredentials = true; client.Send(message); }
