I was wondering how I could send an email from within a vb application? Can any one assist in where to begin?
Use the SmtpClient class within the System.Net.Mail namespace
Example.
'create the mail message
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
'set the addresses
mail.From = New MailAddress("xx#xx")
mail.[To].Add("xx#xx")
'set the content
mail.Subject = "This is an email"
mail.Body = "this is a sample body"
'set the server
Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("localhost")
'send the message
Try
smtp.Send(mail)
Response.Write("Your Email has been sent sucessfully - Thank You")
Catch exc As Exception
Response.Write("Send failure: " & exc.ToString())
End Try
You can use the System.Net.Mail namespace, look it up and see if it helps. I use C# but I imagine it is similar, create a client, then a message, set params of the message and then client.Send() will send the message.

I have an Simple Application that Sends and email as Follows:
Private Sub sendEmail()
'create the mail message
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
'set the addresses
mail.From = New MailAddress(cmbFrom.Selected.Value)
mail.[To].Add(cmbTo.Selected.Value)
mail.IsBodyHtml = True
'set the content
mail.Subject = getSubject()
mail.Body = getBody()
If cmbSubj.Selected.Description = "Confirmation" Then
mail.Headers.Add("Disposition-Notification-To", cmbFrom.Selected.Value)
End If
'set the server
Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("Mail.MyDomain.Co.Uk")
'smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = True
smtp.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
'send the message
Try
smtp.Send(mail)
Application.SBO_Application.MessageBox("Your Email has been sent sucessfully - Thank You")
oForm.Close()
Catch exc As Exception
Application.SBO_Application.MessageBox("Send failure: " & exc.ToString())
End Try
End Sub
and this Exchange Server Mail Flow Rule:
Unfortunately the mail flow rule is not applying to messages,
How can i ensure this Mail Flow rule applies to the App based Emails and why Has it been ignored so far?
Changing the Mail Flow Rule Resolved the issue, However the question of why the rules were missed when using the smtpClient Remains.
To resolve the rule was changed to "The Sender Address Matches..." and the Domain name.

I am working on visual studio 2012 vb.net coding. I was asked to create an application to my company that sends emails to clients but they want to display company's name at client's screen and the email address should be hidden. My code is working properly except this point(hiding sender address) and I am using smtp client.
Any hints?
Below is my code :
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
'mail.From = New MailAddress("Me#domain.com", "Me")
mail.From = New MailAddress("""Me "" <Me#domain.com>")
mail.[To].Add("somebody#domain.com")
mail.Subject = "Test email from App"
mail.Body = "Dear somebody, this email was sent from our project as a test email, Regards."
Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("localhost")
Try
nsmtp.Send(mail)
Response.Write("Your Email has been sent sucessfully - Thank You")
Catch exc As Exception
Response.Write("Send failure: " & exc.ToString())
End Try
I am working on a VB application that sends an HTML email. I found this, and am trying to implement it.
'create the mail message
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
'set the addresses
mail.From = New MailAddress(EmailFrom, "Display Name")
mail.To.Add(EmailTo)
'set the content
mail.Subject = "Subject Line"
mail.Body = "Message body"
mail.IsBodyHtml = True
'send the message
Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("127.0.0.1")
smtp.Send(mail)
I don't have any info on the argument passed to SmtpClient() for this code snippet.
I have found videos showing how to connect to google smtp using "smtp.gmail.com" and a specific port. However, This would only be practical if all of the users of my application will have Gmail. I don't want to force them to have one in order to have access to the functionality.
Could any of you experts provide me with some help on dynamically selecting the correct smtp server and port based on their email?
for example, email is stored in a variable called email:
Dim email As String = "me#gmail.com"
This email is coming from MySql database so how do I take variable string and check which ISP they use and then have my code use the correct smtp and port for that ISP?
Also, I've read that now days authentication is required so I will likely prompt user with input box before calling procedure that sends the email.
Here's some code showing that:
Hotmail:
Smtp.live.com
Port: 587
Gmail:
smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
Yahoo:
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Aol:
smtp.aol.co.uk
Port: 587
imports system.net.mail
dim Mail as new mailmessage
Try
mail.From = New MailAddress("FROM EMAIL")
mail.To.Add(TO EMAIL)
mail.Subject = "SUBJECT"
mail.Body = "BODY"
Dim s As New SmtpClient("HOST")
s.Port = PORT
s.EnableSsl = True
s.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("FROM EMAIL, "FROM PASSWORD")
s.Send(Mail)
MsgBox("E-mail was sucsessfully sent!", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Information")
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
I'm completely stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also open to any ideas that accomplish same feat even if not in accordance with first code snippet. Thanks in advance.
I have a basic vb.net windows form application and is wondering how I would go about sending an email? I have no servers set up or anything like that, I was wondering if I could still send it without setting up all that stuff. This is the code I have now:
Private Sub sendEmail(ByVal golfersTable As DataTable)
'create the mail message
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient()
'set the addresses
mail.From = New MailAddress("someone#gmail.com")
mail.To.Add("someone#gmail.com")
'set the content
mail.Subject = "Golf Quotas"
mail.Body = "Golfer Name" & "-----------------------------------------------" & row.Item("Average Quota")
For Each row As DataRow In golfersTable.Rows
mail.Body = row.Item("Golfer Name") & "---------------" & row.Item("Average Quota")
Next
'set the server
SMTP.EnableSsl = True
SMTP.UseDefaultCredentials = False
SMTP.Port = "465"
'SMTP.Send(mail)
Try
SMTP.Send(mail)
MsgBox("Your Email has been sent sucessfully - Thank You")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Message Failed To Send" & ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
I have gotten nothing to work at all from everything that I have tried.... Idk what I'm doing wrong but it's not working. I tried a nslookup www.gmail.com in cammand prompt but it said that domain not found ?
If you are using a GMail account to send the emails then you can use Google's SMTP server, smtp.gmail.com.

i have the following code,i'm trying to send an email from my windows application but it's not working... any help ? note that i'm using vb.net and i'm not getting any errors.. i'm just not receiving any emails !
Private Sub senemail()
'create the mail message
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
'set the addresses
mail.From = New MailAddress("jocelyne_elkhoury#inmobiles.net")
mail.To.Add("jocelyne_el_khoury#hotmail.co.uk")
'set the content
mail.Subject = "This is an email"
mail.Body = "this is a sample body"
'send the message
Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("127.0.0.1")
smtp.Send(mail)
End Sub
In my experience, sending email via .net (and vb6 before it) is weird. Sometimes it should work and just doesn't, sometimes because of .net bugs and sometimes incompatibility with the smtp server. Here is some code that works on VB 2008, and it should work with 2010.
Using msg As New MailMessage(New MailAddress(fromAddress, fromName), New MailAddress(toAddress))
Try
Dim mailer As New SmtpClient
msg.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.Default
msg.Subject = subject
msg.Body = body
msg.IsBodyHtml = False
mailer.Host = mailserver
mailer.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password) ' may or may not be necessary, depending on the server
mailer.Send(msg)
Catch ex As Exception
Return ex.Message
End Try
End Using ' mailmsg
If this doesn't work, try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 for the mailserver.
If that doesn't work, try using your system name (the one that shows up on the network) for the mailserver.
If that doesn't work, try using an external smtp server with your own username and password (just for testing).
profit.
