Components & Libraries: CSpot SMTPClient 0.4 - Outgoing email (SMTP) capabilities for .NET. More free downloads by this developer: .NET Communication Library, FTP Component, SharpZipLib

SMTPClient from Bossware lets developers add outgoing email capabilities to their Windows Forms and ASP.NET (Web Forms) email apps using the SMTP protocol. The component does not use the .NET System.Web.Mail namespace, which is simply a .NET Framework wrapper for CDONTS and CDOSYS, two Microsoft COM objects. One problem of using System.Web.Mail is that code using this namespace can behave differently depending on the OS of the computer it?s running on. CDONTS is also said to be resource-intensive and more complex to configure, and to have limitations, and even be unstable.

The component is written in 100% managed C# and is CLS compliant; therefore, developers can use the component in any .NET Framework programming language, such as C#, VB.NET, J#, ASP.NET, etc. It is a strong-named assembly so it can be used in cross-application development situations by registering it in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).

With this control, developers can implement the following features:

? Sending HTML/text messages.
? Sending to multiple recipients.
? Connecting to multiple servers.
? Including multiple attachments.
? Connection retry count.
? Sending files using MIME encoding.
? Synchronized, thread-safe wrapper.
? Using message priority.

The component complies with several RFC (Request for Comment) documents concerning the SMTP protocol. However, it lacks logging and mail merge capabilities.

? distribution agreement (no limits) (optional)
? license agreement (no limits) (optional)

SharpZipLib

SharpZipLib is a free, open-source compression library for .NET. It supports Zip, Gzip, Tar, and Bzip2, and also computes checksums. The library currently lacks Zip file splitting/spanning, customizable self-extracting Zip files, and reading and writing directly to memory. It is ported from the GNU Classpath Zip library for Java. The library and source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License, with an exception.

FTP Component

Microsoft?s .NET Framework lacks classes for FTP. With KCommon?s FTP component, programmers can build Windows Forms or ASP.NET (Web Forms) apps so users can send or receive files via the FTP protocol. Operations for synchronous and asynchronous transfers are supported. KCommon?s FTP component supports passive mode, but not active mode. It is written in C# but is not marked as CLS compliant. It does not support proxy servers.

.NET Communication Library

Smilla?s .NET Communication Library is a small network protocol library for use with .NET Framework languages. The class library of Microsoft?s .NET Framework does not support certain common communication protocols, such as NNTP and POP3. Developers can use this library to add NNTP protocol support to their applications. The library is written in C#. It is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
