Getting Started

The Net assembly contains resources that are used to work with email and SharePoint web sites.

Having studied this section you can execute the following operations using the Fore and Fore.NET languages:

  • Create and send email messages using a default mail client that is set up in the operating system, or using an SMPT mail service.

  • Connect to SharePoint web sites, get information published at these web sites, create and manage new discussions.

The assembly includes common interfaces and enumerations describing various elements for working with email, and also two groups of classes that have differences in internal implementation:

  • Classes with the Net* prefix are implemented using .NET Framework and support working with email only in Windows OS. These classes are not recommended to be used because they are outdated.

  • Classes with the Curl* prefix is a cross-platform implementation for working with email. They are recommended to be used in application code.

Assembly resources are described in the following subsections:
