Hi everybody,

I want to send an email to multi users through my VB application.
I don't know if I can use a VB class for this case or I should download a smtp mail component.
I would be thankful if you can suggest me the best solution.
Please give me a code example for former solution or introduce me an effective free, permanent component.

I , myself, am not sure about this. My friend says it can be done purely through VB. I will find out more about this from her. I have doubts about your legal purposes of this program you are going to make, but oh well, it's your choice.

I'm not a huge fan of Visual Basic, but controlling an SMTP server isn't all that hard. Basically, all you need to do is connect to it, specify the sender and receipient(s), and send the message.

And also, you might want to consider posting this in the Visual Basic forum.

Using winsock is enough.

But you do need a SMTP server where you have a account from, like the smtp server of your isp since relaying is disabled in 99 out of 100 servers these days

I did create a small basic smtp email proggie though, if you need the VB source i might even mail it to you if you ask nicely

You can use the Microsoft Webbrowser control in there and use PHP

I can provide you a solution using VB.NET - I can't stand VB6 anymore..

The .NET framework provides you with a class called SmtpMail - which under normal circumstances isn't available for use with Windows forms. It's meant for ASP.NET applications and can be found in the library System.Web.Mail namespace. All you've to do to make it work in your WinForm application is include a Reference to the file, System.Web.dll. This can be done by right-clicking on References in your Project explorer and clicking Add reference.

Once you've added this, use the following code to send mails out:



Hope this helps...
