VB - Sending emails

In this tutorial you will learn how you can send emails using Visual Basic 2010.

Start by creating a new project, and call it Emailer or something like that.

Add some controls to your form to make it look like this:

2x Label
2x Textbox
1x Button

Double click your button to edit the codes behind your button.
First of all, we need to import a class..

Imports System.Net.Mail

Now, you need to add some codes to your button1_Click event:

_Try

            _{Dim SmtpServer As New SmtpClient()}

            _{Dim mail As New MailMessage()}

            _{SmtpServer.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("username@gmail.com", "password") 'gmail email address and its password}

            _{SmtpServer.Port = 587 'The port}

            _{SmtpServer.Host = "smtp.gmail.com" 'Host is gmail}

            _{mail = New MailMessage()}

            _{mail.From = New MailAddress("username@gmail.com") 'Same email addres as used above}

            _{mail.To.Add("TOADDRESS") 'to e.g. blah@blah.com}

            _{mail.Subject = TextBox1.Text 'This is the subject}

            _{mail.Body = TextBox2.Text 'This is the message}

            _{SmtpServer.Send(mail)}

            _{MsgBox("mail send")}

        _{Catch ex As Exception}

            _{MsgBox(ex.ToString)}

_{End Try}
