Hi all

I want to send an email through a VB.Net 2005 application. Can someone show
me some examples:

1. To send an email through the current default email client, Outlook
Express or Microsoft Office Outlook.
2. Can you determine which is the default client in the application.
3. Send an email that does not use any default email client.

Thank you.

Here is a class doing the job connecting directly to the mailserver,
not by me. Found it somewhere on the web

So this uses no defoult client

* add the System.Web.Dll reference to your .Net
'* project if doing a Windows Application. An
'* ASP.Net app should include this reference.
'* Simply declare an object of type SendMail in code, ie another class
like a form class,
'* set the body and subject properties, then call
'* MailMessage to send the email
Imports System.Web.Mail



Public Class SendMail
    Private _Subject As String
    Private _Body As String
    Private _Attachment As String
    Private _Adress As String
    Public Property Adress() As String
        Get
            Return _Adress
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            _Adress = Value
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Property Subject() As String
        Get
            Return _Subject
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            _Subject = Value
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Property Body() As String
        Get
            Return _Body
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            _Body = Value
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Property Attachment() As String
        Get
            Return _Attachment
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            _Attachment = Value
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Sub MailMessage()
        Dim objMail As New MailMessage
        'Dim attach As New MailAttachment(_Attachment)
        SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "000.00.00" 'this needs to be the Smtp
mail server, a proxy will not work, get this from your administrator,
or Exchange server name in outlook
        objMail.From = "sender@home"
        objMail.To = _Adress
        objMail.Subject = _Subject 'Subject text
        objMail.Body = _Body 'Body Text
        objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text 'Html 'can be text also
        SmtpMail.Send(objMail)
    End Sub
End Class

I'm trying to figure out the same. So far, I think these links might
prove helpful:
