    Console Application VB 2005

    Hey All,

    I'm not looking for anyone to complete my "home work" assignment for my A-Level computing as I've done this now and I think it's impressive. What I am now looking for is help in extending what I have done and making it better.

    History:
    I have built my application in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. It is a Console Application. After filling in the questionnaire the user gets given results and all this information is stored in a .txt document (Notepad).

    I want the data that is put in to the application to send infomation to the user's e-mail address. I have been looking around the internet and it says it could do it but it needs Outlook express.

    My question is, is this possible and if so can anyone direct me to a good tutorial or help me?

    Thank You,
    Spider.
    Thank You,
    The Spider

    Hey,

    No, you don't specifically need Outlook, but what you do need is an SMTP Server that can relay the email for you. If for instance you have a GMail account, you can log into their server using your account details and send an email.

    This is all done using the SMTPClient and MailMessage Classes, have a look at this post for details on how to do this:

    Hope that helps!!
