Accessing Config File Mail Settings Programmatically
Some people may not know that .NET 2.0 provides APIs for accessing everything in a configuration file. The most common question I see relates to accessing the mail settings in the system.net node programmatically.
C#
using
System.Configuration;
using
System.Web.Configuration;
using
System.Net.Configuration;
Configuration
configurationFile =
WebConfigurationManager
.OpenWebConfiguration(
"PathToConfigFile"
);
MailSettingsSectionGroup
mailSettings = configurationFile.GetSectionGroup(
"system.net/mailSettings"
)
as
MailSettingsSectionGroup
;
if
(mailSettings !=
null
)
{
int
port = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Port;
string
host = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Host;
string
password = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Password;
string
username = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.UserName;
}
VB.NET
Imports
System.Configuration
Imports
System.Web.Configuration
Imports
System.Net.Configuration
Dim
configurationFile
As
Configuration = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(
"PathToConfigFile"
)
Dim
mailSettings
As
MailSettingsSectionGroup = configurationFile.GetSectionGroup(
"system.net/mailSettings"
)
If
Not
mailSettings
Is
Nothing
Then
Dim
port
As
Integer
= mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Port
Dim
host
As
String
= mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Host
Dim
password
As
String
= mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Password
Dim
username
As
String
= mailSettings.Smtp.Network.UserName
End
If
