   try

   }
   client->~SmtpClient();
}

public static void CreateBccTestMessage(string server)
{
    MailAddress from = new MailAddress("ben@contoso.com", "Ben Miller");
    MailAddress to = new MailAddress("jane@contoso.com", "Jane Clayton");
    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.";
    MailAddress bcc = new MailAddress("manager1@contoso.com");
    message.Bcc.Add(bcc);
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
    client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
    Console.WriteLine("Sending an email message to {0} and {1}.",
        to.DisplayName, message.Bcc.ToString());

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

Public Shared Sub CreateBccTestMessage(ByVal server As String)
    Dim from As MailAddress = New MailAddress("ben@contoso.com", "Ben Miller")

    Console.WriteLine("Sending an email message to {0} and {1}.", [to].DisplayName, message.Bcc.ToString())

    Try

Remarks

To add a BCC recipient to an email message, create a MailAddress for the recipient's address, and then add that object to the collection returned by the Bcc property.

When recipients view an email message, the Bcc addresses are usually not displayed.
