What is aspNetEmail?
	aspNetEmail is a .NET email component, also known as an assembly. It is written in 100% C# for speed and efficiency. It does not have any dependencies on CDO or any unmanaged code. aspNetEmail only requires the .NET framework to be installed on the computer.

Can I use aspNetEmail in windows applications?
	Absolutely! The name aspNetEmail was chosen by the marketing division, but from a programmer’s perspective, you can use aspNetEmail from a Windows Form application, web services, ASP.NET web pages, and any other .NET supported application.

What can aspNetEmail do for me?
	aspNetEmail allows you to send email from any .NET application. aspNetEmail can be used from ASP.NET web pages, to windows forms, to web services. The only limitation to using aspNetEmail is your programming imagination.

What isn’t aspNetEmail?
	aspNetEmail is not a mail server or a mail reader. aspNetEmail cannot receive email nor can it read email messages. aspNetEmail is used to send email messages, programmatically, from any .NET application.

What’s the difference between aspNetEmail and System.Web.Mail?
	The advantages of aspNetEmail over System.Web.Mail are too numerous to list, but here are some of the major differences. System.Web.Mail is simply a wrapper around CDONTS. When you call System.Web.Mail you are actually making an unmanaged call to CDONTS. To verify this, take a look at these two ILDASM figures: Figure 1 and Figure2. Besides the inefficiency of CDONTS, aspNetEmail also provides advanced logging, mailmerge functionality, and advanced mail message manipulation.

System.Web.Mail works for me, why should I buy aspNetEmail?
	If System.Web.Mail works for you, then great! By all means use it. We want you to use the right tool for the job. The last thing we want is someone to purchase aspNetEmail and then be unhappy because they find System.Web.Mail can do what they need. But based upon our personal experiance, System.Web.Mail has been unstable, which lead us to write aspNetEmail. Just how unstable? Well, take a look at some of these problems over at Google Groups. And if all else fails, here's a post from someone at Microsoft telling you to use RegMon or FileMon to trouble shoot the problem. View Post And in case you think that post is unique, here is another, different one Nothing like deploying a client app, then 1 month after they have been using it, it blows up, and you send him this lengthy explanation to go into the registry. :-) Want to see what people have been saying about aspNetEmail? Read some of these 3rd party testimonials.
What's New Latest .NET Versions aspNetEmail runs under all releases of .NET.
