The following table lists the properties of the IConfiguration interface.

The following table lists the methods of the IConfiguration interface.

You can access configuration settings on implementing objects using the IConfiguration interface. The Fields property references a Microsoft® ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO) Fields collection, and each Field object in the collection contains a name/value pair that defines some part of a particular configuration. Consult the appropriate fields section of the reference for a list of valid fields to use. Most field names associated with configuration settings reside in the https://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/ Namespace.

The following example demonstrates the use of the IConfiguration interface on a CDO Configuration object. When sending messages from a machine that does not have a SMTP service installed, you must send the message using an SMTP service on the network. A Configuration object is created, populated with configuration information and then associated with a Message object using the IMessage.Configuration property. The SMTP server name, port, user display name, email address, and credentials are all set as a part of the configuration. The table below lists the values used. Note that a field's fully qualified name must be used when referring to it. For configuration fields, all field names are prefixed with the https://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/ namespace. For example, the fully qualified name for the smtpserver field is https://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver. The namespace prefix is not shown in the table below to preserve space.

The namespace is https://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/.

After the Configuration object has been populated with relevant configuration information, and associated with the Message object, the message is sent. In the following examples, the CdoConfiguration module constants are used to identify the desired field. These constants are simply the full names of the fields in the namespace. For example, the CdoConfiguration constant cdoSMTPServer is equal to the string https://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver.
