Dear Customers,

What’s New in Aspose.Network 3.0 Beta

  • High compatible with .NET 2.0 E-Mail APIs, and Work fine under .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 frameworks. Therefore, .NET developers can easily migrate their E-Mail applications.

    Example code
    // Command line argument must the the SMTP host.
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(“localhost”, “test001”, “test”);
    // Specify the e-mail sender.
    // Create a mailing address that includes a UTF8 character
    // in the display name.
    MailAddress from = new MailAddress(“test001@aspose.com”,
    “Jane " + (char)0xD8 + " Clayton”);
    // Set destinations for the e-mail message.
    MailAddress to = new MailAddress(“test002@aspose.com”);
    // Specify the message content.
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
    message.TextBody = “This is a test e-mail message sent by an application. “;
    // Include some non-ASCII characters in body and subject.
    string someArrows = new string(new char[] { ‘\u2190’, ‘\u2191’, ‘\u2192’, ‘\u2193’ });
    message.TextBody += Environment.NewLine + someArrows;
    message.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
    message.Subject = “test message 1” + someArrows;
    message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
    // Set the method that is called back when the send operation ends.
    client.SendCompleted += new
    SendCompletedEventHandler(SendCompletedCallback);
    // The userState can be any object that allows your callback
    // method to identify this send operation.
    // For this example, the userToken is a string constant.
    string userState = “test message1”;
    client.SendAsync(message, userState);

  • Unique Object Model for E-Mail creating and parsing functions. The MailMessage class provides the unique and simple entry for creating and parsing E-Mail messages.

    Example
    //Load eml format file to MailMessage instance
    MailMessage message = MailMessage.Load(@”../message.eml”);
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(“localhost”,“test001”, “test”);
    //Send the message via Smtp
    client.SendAsync(message);

  • Stronger MailMerge features due to new template rendering engine.

  • Higher performance in Bulk Send E-Mail messages.
