Easy SendEmail class - with attachment support!

[i00]

Attached is a small project that can be referenced to make sending emails a little easier for new users...

It supports:

• sending with authentication
• multiple recipients
• multiple attachments
• setting the priority of mail

All you need to do is reference the SendEmail project in the projects you want to send email from and call:

Dim EmailConnection As New SendEmail.SendEmail.EmailConnection("emailserver.com", 25)
 
SendEmail.SendEmail.SendEmailMessage("From@something.com", _
                                     New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress() {New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("recipient1@something.com"), _
                                                                        New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("recipient2@something.com")}, _
                                     "Subject", _
                                    "Message Content <B>in HTML</b>", _
                                     EmailConnection

There is more details in the test form on how to send with attachments / authentication etc

Hope this helps some people ...
Also please provide feedback and say thanks if this helped you

when you say reference do you mean an imports statment or to add the class in the zip ?

[i00]

Well you could either add a reference to the SendEmail.exe (which is what i meant - as is done in the test project) or add the class to your projects.

And yes you can add references to exe files - i do this alot because i like to build in demo projects into my referenced libraries, as can be seen if you set your startup project to sendemail and run.

what is the walkthrough to reference a .exe inthis case for example ?

@ i00

Please remove all the .exe files from the attachment and then upload the source code to the forums. It is against forum policy to upload/link to zip files that contain .exe files as they could contain harmful viruses, etc which could infect a user's computer.

There is no attachment - also the only exe files will be the ones that gets built in the debug/release folder/s. It is open source and all source code is supplied.

Well ... if you have a look at the demo solution you will see two projects, SendEmail and Test...

Just add the "SendEmail" project to your solution (it is an exe project), then right click on your project and select "Add Reference...". Select the "Projects" tab and highlight SendEmail then select OK.

No, I meant remove the .exes from the upload you linked to above then upload the file you link to above on the forums instead of using third-party host.

I would happily attach them in vbforums if they gave me a decent amount of space ... you get 10 mb's of storage space total on vbforums ... this is not enough ... my spell check that i will be releasing in a few days has a dictionary that is 2MBs by itself (compressed) without the source code even!

in phpBB it is not very frugal to allocate too much disk space per user.
about 20NIS to add 500mb to the forum
you could however use third party service and provide the dl link for your fatter filess.

personally speaking I can hardly wait for a simplified spell checker, please pm me when it is done just in case I miss the thread.

from the sticky at the top.

Unfortunately, computer virus contamination has become an unpleasant and often destructive fact of life. Often people pass along a virus without even realizing they are doing so. In an attempt to keep the CodeBank forum sections a safe and protected place within which to post and exchange useful pieces of programming code, compiled files will no longer be permitted in attachments.

If a piece of compiled code is found in an attachment, the attachment will be downloaded, the compiled file will be removed (regardless of what it is), the original attachment will be removed, and the zip file reattached to the forum thread, intact, minus the compiled file. The original thread will be edited with a note indicating the action taken, and a PM sent to the poster referencing the policy outlined here.

Many people (myself included) will not download an attachment if it contains anything that is compiled, so by including something like that in your attachment, you could be doing yourself a disservice. Many people who could benefit from your work and achievements will not be doing so because they are afraid to open what you have posted.

On behalf of all forum members, thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions concerning this policy, please feel free to send me a PM.

Well done for contributing though.
