SMTP Mail client settings in app.config file C#

Question

I've put mail settings in app.config and can successfully pull them into a mailSettingsSectionGroup object. However, I'm not sure how to send a message using these settings.

This is what I have so far:

System.Configuration.Configuration config =     
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

MailSettingsSectionGroup mailSettings  = 
config.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings") as 
System.Net.Configuration.MailSettingsSectionGroup;

What do I need to do next to use the mailSettings object?

Answer 1

Here is a simple example.

Answer 2

System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient

Specifically, the Send(...) method. SmtpClient will automatically pull the details from your app/web.config file. You don't need to do anything to use the configuration, it's all handled automatically.
