Sending an Email message

To send an email message first establish a connection to the SMTP server and then invoke the Send method on an Smtp instance passing an EmailMessage instance as an argument.

Example

This example creates an email message with the To and From email address, sets the message subject and body properties, then sends the message.

[C#]

Smtp smtp = new Smtp("smtp.myserver.com");

smtp.Connect();

// build message

EmailMessage message = new EmailMessage("jsmith@myserver.com", "mjones@yourserver.com");

message.Subject = "Meeting today at 2:30 p.m.";

message.SetBody("See you then.");

// send message

smtp.Send(message);

// release connection

smtp.Disconnect();

[Visual Basic]

Dim mySmtp As Smtp = Nothing

Dim message As EmailMessage = Nothing

mySmtp = New Smtp("smtp.myserver.com")

mySmtp.Connect()

' build message

message = New EmailMessage("jsmith@myserver.com", "mjones@yourserver.com")

message.Subject = "Meeting today at 2:30 p.m."

message.SetBody("See you then.")

' send message

mySmtp.Send(message)

' release connection

mySmtp.Disconnect()
