Set "From" address when using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage?

Question

I'm trying to send a password reset email, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to specify the sender's address.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From.Address = "[email protected]";
mail.To.Add(Email);
mail.Subject = "Forgot Password";
mail.Body = "<a href=\"" + url + "\">Click here to reset your password.</a>";
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.SendAsync(mail, null);

I'm sure it's possible, so how can I accomplish this in ASP.Net?

Answer 1

It turns out I was getting ahead of myself.

Removing Address from mail.From.Address allowed me to set the value, but needed the type MailAddress.

Here's the solution:

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.To.Add(Email);
mail.Subject = "Forgot Password";
mail.Body = "<a href=\"" + url + "\">Click here to reset your password.</a>";
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.SendAsync(mail, null);
