    VB.NET - Button_Click to send email

    How do i code a button click to send email to a person based
    on the txtName.Text, txtEmail.Text, txtSubject.Text and
    txtMessage.Text input by the user?

    How do i define by own from-name and from-email too?

    Re: VB.NET - Button_Click to send email

    Hai,
    This piece of code can be used to send mails with attachments. I'm sure it will help you a bit.
    VB Code:
    1. Dim email As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage
    2.         ' Setting the from,to, message and subject for the mail
    3.         email.To = "urfriend@sample.com"
    4.         email.From = "yourid@gg.com"
    5.         email.Body = "Sample message that to be send to your friend"
    6.         email.Subject = "Ha Guys"
    7.         ' Adding the attachment to the mail
    8.         Dim Attach As String = "C:\02_Ranger.JPG"
    9.         Dim myAttachment As _
    10.             System.Web.mail.MailAttachment = _
    11.             New System.Web.mail.MailAttachment(Attach)
    12.         email.Attachments.Add(myAttachment)
    13.         email.BodyFormat = Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text
    14.         System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "Put Mail Server Here"
    15.         Try
    16.             System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(email)
    17.         Catch ex As Exception
    18.             MessageBox.Show( _
    19.             ex.Message & vbNewLine & _
    20.             ex.Source & vbNewLine & _
    21.             ex.StackTrace, "Email Error", _
    22.             MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
    Regards,

    Re: VB.NET - Button_Click to send email

    This should do it for you.
    VB Code:
    1. Dim email As New MailMessage
    2.         Dim Attach As MailAttachment = _
    3.             New MailAttachment("C:\02_Ranger.JPG")
    4.  
    5.         With email
    6.             .To = txtTo.Text
    7.             .From = txtFrom.Text
    8.             .Body = txtBody.Text
    9.             .Subject = txtSubject.Text
    10.             .Attachments.Add(Attach)
    11.             .BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text
    12.         End With
    13.  
    14.         SmtpMail.SmtpServer() = txtMserver.Text
    15.  
    16.         Try
    17.             SmtpMail.Send(email)
    18.             MessageBox.Show("Email was sent sucessfully", _
    19.                 "Email Sent", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    20.                 MessageBoxIcon.Information)
    21.         Catch ex As Exception
    22.             MessageBox.Show(ex.Message & vbNewLine & _
    23.             ex.Source & vbNewLine & ex.StackTrace, _
    24.             "Send Mail Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    25.             MessageBoxIcon.Error)
    26.         End Try
    Just remove the attachment lines if you don't need them. As an alternative you may want to use a Open File Dialog with the attachment so that it can be chosen dynamicaly/optionly instead of just being hard coded into your sub.

    Oh yea for this to work as written you need to make this your first line of code (very top of the page).

    Imports System.Web.Mail

    Question:
    How would you send a crystal report that your program generates? Can you do it on the fly, or would you have to save it then add it as your attachment?

    Re: VB.NET - Button_Click to send email

    myReport.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.WordForWindows, "c:\Temp\myDoc.doc")

    Create a report object (myReport), export it to a word document ("c:\Temp\myDoc.doc") then email the path to the document as an attachment as previously explained in this thread. Works nicely.

    Now I've got a question:

    I have used this class to send mail. I can't work out how to CC and BCC to multiple addresses. I have had no problem CC'ing and BCC'ing to a single address but can't work out how to send to multiple addresses.

    The answer was more obvious that what I thought - simply delimit multiple addresses with a semi-colon.
