I have used the below code to show display name, but now its displaying as example[example@abc.com] in outlook. Is it possible to show only display name in From address

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(mailPropObj.ToAddress.ToString()));  
mail.From = new MailAddress(example@abc.com,"example");

Does anyone have a solution?

Hi, I've tried with the same code. but I'm getting output like below
abcs.c <test@abc.in>

The sender's name always comes along with the display name. Can anybody help to resolve this. how can i remove/hide the sender name <test@abc.in>

myMail.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(From1, EmailFromName).ToString();

as long as it is a valid answer. it is not a problem, that the question is old. In 8 years technology has changed, maybe the good answer that was accepted is not valid anymore

Use symbols < > along with email & name like below

C#

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage Mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("example<example@abc.com>", "a@a.com", Subject, Message);
