Remarks

The SendCompleted event is raised each time an email message is sent asynchronously when the send operation completes. To send an email message asynchronously, use the SendAsync methods.

SendCompletedEventHandler is the delegate for SendCompleted. The AsyncCompletedEventArgs class provides the event handler with event data.
