Re: Sending email from within app

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Here's a simple way

Public Sub StartMail(ByVal [To] As String, Optional ByVal subj As String = "", Optional ByVal Body As String = "")
Try
Dim mailProcess As New ProcessStartInfo
mailProcess.UseShellExecute = True
mailProcess.FileName = "mailto:"; & [To] & "?subject=" & subj & "&body=" & Body
Process.Start(mailProcess)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub

Here's my favorite way but it's 2005 only

Dim msg As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
Dim smtp As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
msg.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("me@xxxxxxxx")
msg.To.Add("bob@xxxxxxxx")
msg.Subject = "Test Msg"
msg.Body = "Can you hear me now?"
smtp.Host = "smtp.myco.com"
smtp.Port = 25
smtp.DeliveryMethod = Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network
smtp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("me@xxxxxxxx", "mypass")
smtp.Send(msg)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try

Got one more I'll find later.
