What is the alternative to this line of code? 2

[aspdotnetuser]

Hi,

I am replacing all System.Web.Mail code with System.Net.Mail - everything works ok when I specify the host and port in the same code block as the email details, but if I want it to refer to the System.Net settings in web.config what do I need to replace the following line of code with?

[blue]SmtpMail.SmtpServer = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["SmtpServer"].ToString();[/blue]

I don't understand the question. What do you mean replace the following code with? Just create an entry in your web.config that holds the name of the SmtpServer.

if you configure the settings in the web.config, all you need is a new smtpclient. These values would be stored in the system.net - mailsettings node, not the appsettings node

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Send(...);

I realised I just have to include the settings in the web.config.

Thanks,
