Get from value

[shapper]

Hello,

I need to get the "from" value, in my runtime code, which I have in my
web.config:

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp
deliveryMethod = "network"
from = "(e-mail address removed)">

How can I do this?

Thanks,
Miguel

myMailMessage.From = ...

....or you can make child class MyMailMessage : MailMessage and set the From
property in constructor if you need to setit for all e-mails.

There is no other conventional way (except reflection) to set this, because
the From address is set in MailMessage constructor:

string text1 = SmtpClient.MailConfiguration.Smtp.From;
if ((text1 != null) && (text1.Length > 0))
{
this.message.From = new MailAddress(text1);
}

....and the SmtpClient.MailConfiguration property is internal.

Try this:

SmtpSection section = (SmtpSection)
WebConfigurationManager.GetWebApplicationSection("system.net/mailSettings/smtp");
string emailFrom = section.From;

Sorry, my post was about setting, not getting... ;-))

Shapper,

Check my Feb, 2006 blog entry:

I wrote a "smarter" smtp handler.
A specified return address is also in the mix.
