Chainging the To, CC, and Bcc addresses to use a Friendly display name, is just
like we did for the .From property. We simply need to use a different
MailAddress ctor to achieve this functionality.
Below is a sample that
demonstrates this.
[ C# ]
static void FriendlyToName()
{
//create the mail message
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
//set the addresses
//to specify a friendly 'from' name, we use a different ctor
mail.From = new MailAddress("me@mycompany.com", "Steve James");
//since the To,Cc, and Bcc accept addresses, we can use the same technique as the From address
mail.To.Add( new MailAddress( "you@yourcompany.com", "Beth Jones") );
mail.CC.Add(new MailAddress("donna@yourcompany.com", "Donna Summers"));
mail.Bcc.Add(new MailAddress("bob@yourcompany.com", "Bob Smith"));
//set the content
mail.Subject = "This is an email";
mail.Body = "this is the body content of the email.";
//send the message
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1");
smtp.Send(mail);
}
[ VB.NET ]
Sub FriendlyToName()
'create the mail message
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
'set the addresses
'to specify a friendly 'from' name, we use a different ctor
mail.From = New MailAddress("me@mycompany.com", "Steve James")
'since the To,Cc, and Bcc accept addresses, we can use the same technique as the From address
mail.To.Add(New MailAddress("you@yourcompany.com", "Beth Jones"))
mail.CC.Add(New MailAddress("donna@yourcompany.com", "Donna Summers"))
mail.Bcc.Add(New MailAddress("bob@yourcompany.com", "Bob Smith"))
'set the content
mail.Subject = "This is an email"
mail.Body = "this is the body content of the email."
'send the message
Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("127.0.0.1")
smtp.Send(mail)
End Sub 'FriendlyToName
