Public Function HasCapability( _
ByVal name As String _
) As Boolean

[C#]
public bool HasCapability(
string name
);

Parameters

name: The name of the capability to match.

Return Value

True if the named capability is found in the list

Remarks

If the EHLO command succeeds, the SMTP server returns a list of optional capabilities that it supports.

The SmtpClient class saves this list of capabilities and provides methods that allow you to examine it. The HasCapability method provides a simple way for you to check if the server supports a particular capability. Internally, the HasCapability method iterates over the list of capabilities attempting to match the desired capability name. The method returns a true value if it finds a match.
