Public Property Port As Integer

An Int32 that contains the port number on the SMTP host. The default value is 25.

The following code example demonstrates sending an email message by using the host and port specified in an application configuration file.

static void CreateTestMessage4( String^ server )
{
   MailAddress^ from = gcnew MailAddress( L"ben@contoso.com" );
   MailAddress^ to = gcnew MailAddress( L"Jane@contoso.com" );
   MailMessage^ message = gcnew MailMessage( from,to );
   message->Subject = L"Using the SmtpClient class.";
   message->Body = L"Using this feature, you can send an email message from an application very easily.";
   SmtpClient^ client = gcnew SmtpClient( server );
   Console::WriteLine( L"Sending an email message to {0} by using SMTP host {1} port {2}.", to, client->Host, client->Port );
   client->Send( message );
   client->~SmtpClient();
}

public static void CreateTestMessage4(string server)
{
    MailAddress from = new MailAddress("ben@contoso.com");
    MailAddress to = new MailAddress("Jane@contoso.com");
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
    message.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
    message.Body = @"Using this feature, you can send an email message from an application very easily.";
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
    Console.WriteLine("Sending an email message to {0} by using SMTP host {1} port {2}.",
         to.ToString(), client.Host, client.Port);

    try
    {
        client.Send(message);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateTestMessage4(): {0}",
            ex.ToString());
    }
}

The value of the Port property can also be set using constructors or the application or machine configuration file.
