Private Sub CompRegConfirmation()

Dim msg As New MailMessage

msg.From = "localhost"

msg.To = "[email protected]"

msg.Subject = " Company registered"

msg.Body = txtUsername.Text

msg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"

SmtpMail.Send(msg)

End Sub

What error are you getting?

i bet its the typical CDOSYS (or something like that) error msg...

My first thought was that he didn't have SMTP services running or something. I tried the code the way he pasted it and couldn't get it to work using localhost either. Once I named the SMTP server it worked fine. There must be a way to do it like that but I couldn't come up with the right way off the top of my head.

I didn't go that far into it or post more details because I wanted to know the error he was getting first.

im not getting no errors guys
how do you name the smtp server

suprisingly enough this still isnt working
anyone any inspiring ideas

VB Code:

Private Sub CompRegConfirmation()
        Dim msg As New MailMessage
        msg.From = "[email protected]"
        msg.To = "[email protected]"
        msg.Subject = " Company registered"
        msg.Body = txtUsername.Text
        msg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
        SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"
        SmtpMail.Send(msg)
    End Sub
