使用System.Net.Mail从MVC表单通过电子邮件发送结果

Question

I'm trying to email the results from a form in my MVC application but when I try to add using System.Net.Mail I get the message that Mail isn't found in the namespace of System.Net.

I tried looking for the dll to add as a reference, but I cannot find the dlls for System, System.Net or System.Net.Mail. However it has no problem with using System.Net but that doesn't get me access to MailMessage() or SmtpClient .

I'm using Visual Studio 2017 and the latest versions of MVC. Does anyone know where to find or how to install these dll's or if there's a better way to email form results I'd love to hear it.

Thanks

So the credit for this answer should go to Scotty for his comment above:

System.Net.Mail is not yet ported to .net core version 1.1. This is discussed here: stackoverflow.com/questions/41583858/… – Scotty May 1 at 4:05

Following that the answer is that System.Net.Mail is not ported into .net core yet but might be making it's way with .net core 2.0. In the meantime the way to get around this is a nice package called MailKit. Just install that using the package manager and then look to the Readme for examples of how to use it.

Thanks again and a shout out to @Scotty
