foreach (System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs.SignerInfo signator in signatories)
signator.CheckSignature(false);

 

Product fixes in this release:

  • The FAST and FULL fetch macros defined in RFC3501 have been added to the ImapMessageInfo enumeration.
  • SmtpResults.Recipients has been changed from a list of EmailAddress objects to list of Recipient objects in order to include a SmtpResponse property that will contain the response of the sending server for each successful send.


Product fixes in this release:

  • When calling MailMessage.ForwardAsAttachment all temporary files will now be created in directory specified by Attachment.Directory instead of the system temporary directory. (359)
  • Malformed parts with no content-encoding would result in a null part being added to the MailMessage object, these parts will now add a text/plain part. (395)

  • Imap.Seen will default to true when fetching a message with ImapInfo.Message or ImapInfo.Text and not specifying peek. Previously messages flagged as seen on the server would be flagged as unseen to the component. (454)

PowerTCP 4.0 Mail for .NET Upgrade Guide >

 

No more Async methods
Previous versions of PowerTCP and PowerSNMP implemented an event-driven model for asynchronous use. In addition to a synchronous method, each operation had an asynchronous "BeginXXX" method and corresponding "EndXXX" event. For example, to receive data asynchronously using the Tcp component, the developer called BeginReceive and waited for the EndReceive event to fire with data. In the meantime, other code was free to execute.

In the new design, asynchronous methods are no longer needed. Instead, the developer uses one or more synchronous methods (for example, "Receive") within function, and then passes a delegate referring to this function to the component's Start method. The Start method then executes the function a worker thread.



Marshaling data back to the UI thread
It is sometimes necessary to pass information from a worker thread to an element on the UI thread. The new design includes Marshal functions to simplify this operation. Each Marshal overload corresponds to an event handler that executes on the UI thread and provides access to data passed by the Marshal method.



No more "pseudo-blocking"
Methods in the new design are now true-blocking calls. In previous versions, methods were "pseudo-blocking," meaning that UI events could be processed while the call blocked. With the new design, the UI thread is blocked if a method is called from within the UI thread. The Start method should therefore be used in UI environments so normal UI processing is preserved.



Use of IPEndPoints
Many methods in the new design include overloads that take IPEndPoint parameters to facilitate IPv6 use. A new IPEndPoint derived class provides several overloads for easy IPEndPoint creation, including automatic hostname resolution.
