    How to get smtp settings (<mailSettings>) from Web.config?

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Hello, Umbracians.

    I want to use settings from Web.config to make my little custom email-module work.

    There is ConfigurationManager.GetSection("sectionName"), I tried input several paths, but it returns null anyway.

    How to get it properly? Or, for my purpose: how to edit MailMessage properties that uses in library.SendMail()

    SMTP settings aren't an Umbraco specific thing - they are a standard .NET setting. So you can access them directly from the SMTP client class.

    So, add a reference to;

    @using System.Net.Mail

    Then you can go...

    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
string host = client.Host;

    Use IntelliSense to see all the properties you can access on the client instance.

    Docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.mail.smtpclient

    Hi, Dan

    I knew about that class, but haven't knew about it scans configs right in constructor.

    Many thanks! You saved my day
