Sending Simple E-Mail in C# - Final Thoughts
(Page 4 of 4 )
That’s right; we’ve just arrived at the end of this tutorial. By now you should know more than a few ways to accomplish the task of sending mails within C# applications. Whether you are working in an older environment on frameworks such as 1.0 or 1.1, or the latest ones such as 2.0 or 3.5, I have shown you how to do it.
You can also download the archived complete source code of the application that we created together in the earlier section. Since it is based on System.Net and System.Net.Mail, it works only with .NET 2.0 Frameworks or newer. I have used the Visual Studio 2005 IDE. Click on the button below to download, extract everything, and open the solution. I hope it will be useful.
Furthermore, I have introduced to you the concept of Chilkat .NET components (or libraries), a commercial package that you may want to check out in the future. Surely, for private and home use the 30-day trial is more than enough; you can play around with it and grasp its inner workings, but other than this it isn’t really worth it.
However, as a programmer, you are required to know and be familiar with as many components, extra libraries and components, as possible. Companies and software development firms often rely on commercial libraries and components because they can sometimes, not always, accomplish the same task more effectively without unnecessary effort. That’s why you also need to know what Chilkat is all about.
