Sending an email though VB.NET

[JesusFreak]

How can I send an email though VB.NET?
I'm looking at System.Web.Mail right now but I can't figure anything out.

well..i got this to work

Imports System.Web.Mail
.
.
.
 
 
 Dim newmsg As New MailMessage
 newmsg.To = "[email protected]"
 newmsg.From = "[email protected]"
 newmsg.Body = "testing123"
' i started to use the lines above..then found the line below...should work all on its own
 System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(newmsg.From, newmsg.To, "subject", newmsg.Body)

but I think you can just use the system.web.mail.smtpmail.send

you might need to do something with:
system.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer
to set the mail server..i didnt need to but...

That's how I tried doing it at first but it just freezes.

There is also a SMTP available inside Win2K. When you install IIS you can check on the SMTP option.

I need one for XP ?? Is it dll or whatever it is ??

[MrGTI]

You need to know where it is? It's packaged with the OS.

Open the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, Internet Information Services (IIS), Details button, and check on SMTP Service.
