Type	Description
SmtpClientNative	SMTP Wrapper around System.Net.Email.SmtpClient. Provided here mainly to provide compatibility with existing wwSmtp code and to provide a slightly more user friendly front end interface on a single object.
AppConfiguration	This class provides a strongly typed configuration base class that can read and write configuration data from various configuration stores including .NET .config files, plain XML files, strings and SQL Server databases. This mechanism uses a class-first approach to configuration management where you declare your configuration settings as simple class properties on a subclass of this abstract class. The class then automatically reads
ConfigurationFileConfigurationProvider	Reads and Writes configuration settings in .NET config files and sections. Allows reading and writing to default or external files and specification of the configuration section that settings are applied to.
ConfigurationProviderBase	Base Configuration Provider Implementation. This implementation provides for the basic layout of a provider and fields that implement the IConfigurationProvider interface. The Read and Write methods must be overridden - all other methods and fields are optional
SqlServerConfigurationProvider	Reads and Writes configuration settings in .NET config files and sections. Allows reading and writing to default or external files and specification of the configuration section that settings are applied to. This implementation doesn't support Read and Write operation that don't return a string value. Only Read(string) and WriteAsString() should be used to read and write string values.
StringConfigurationProvider	Reads and Writes configuration settings from strings - which you manage yourself. Using strings for the configuration provider allows for easy storage into any non-supported configuration stores that you control through your code as long as it supports strings. The string provider is a real minimal implementation that only implements WriteAsString(config) and Read(string).
XmlFileConfigurationProvider	Reads and Writes configuration settings in .NET config files and sections. Allows reading and writing to default or external files and specification of the configuration section that settings are applied to.
IConfigurationProvider	Configuration Provider interface that provides read and write services to various configuration storage mechanisms. Used in conjunction with the
