24. Sending An Email
In this tutorial, we will learn how to send an email using only code. The example in this tutorial will show you how to send an email by connecting to the googlemail SMTP server. If you want to send an email using another service such as hotmail or yahoomail, you will need to google for the SMTP host and port for that particular service.
Code
Imports System.Net.Mail Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Mail As New MailMessage Mail.Subject = "test email" Mail.To.Add("youremail@googlemail.com") Mail.From = New MailAddress("youremail@googlemail.com") Mail.Body = "This is an ownage email using VB.NET" Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com") SMTP.EnableSsl = True SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password") SMTP.Port = "587" SMTP.Send(Mail) End Sub End Class
