sending mails

[makko]

I try to use the following code to send mails but gives me the error :
"A first chance exception of type 'System.Web.HttpException' occurred in System.Web.dll"

Imports System
Imports System.Web.Mail

Public Class Form2

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim oMsg As Web.Mail.MailMessage = New Web.Mail.MailMessage()
oMsg.From = "[email protected]"
oMsg.To = "[email protected]"
oMsg.Subject = "Email with Attachment Demo"
oMsg.Body = "This is the main body of the email"

Try
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "pop.gmail.com"
SmtpMail.Send(oMsg)
Catch ehttp As System.Web.HttpException
Console.WriteLine("0", ehttp.Message)
Console.WriteLine("Here is the full error message")
Console.Write("0", ehttp.ToString())
End Try

End Sub

And for your information the code I posted above is taken from MSDN ... The code is ok ... I made the post thinking I made a bad setting or not entering all informations like username/password/SSL ... not searching in OFFICE section

If you dont help please dont send me to search another sections ... I appreciate though you dont told me to search MSDN

Any code found in the Office Development forum will be specifically related to automating Office applications. For e-mail that basically means Outlook. This question has nothing whatsoever to do with Outlook.

makko, you're trying to fix an issue that doesn't exist. You are not been "given an error". The debugger is simply telling you that an exception was thrown. Exceptions are allowed to be thrown. They are part of programming. Unless your app is crashing that exception is being caught and the necessary action taken to deal with it.

For example, try putting this in your code:

Try
    Dim reader As New IO.StreamReader("this file does not exist")
Catch
End Try

and running it. The debugger will notify you of the first chance exception, i.e. that an exception was thrown, but it will continue on happily because the exception was caught. Now remove the Try...Catch block and run it again. The debugger will again notify you of the first chance exception, then your app will crash and the debugger will notify you of the unhandled exception. It's unhandled exceptions that you need to worry about.
