Sending an Email Tutorial

-First, double click on your 'Send Email' button. At the top, above 'Public Class Form1' type in this code...

Code:

Imports System.Net.Mail

-Next, its time to code the button we double clicked on. Just Copy and Paste this...

Code:

Dim MailMessage As New MailMessage()
        MailMessage.From = New MailAddress(TextBox1.Text)
        MailMessage.To.Add(TextBox3.Text)
        MailMessage.Subject = (TextBox4.Text)
        MailMessage.Body = TextBox5.Text
        Dim SMTPServer As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
        SMTPServer.Port = 587
        SMTPServer.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text)
        SMTPServer.EnableSsl = True
        SMTPServer.Send(MailMessage)

Step Three | Debug and Test

-Debug it and test it, you can send an email to yourself if you want. This can be Easily modified to become an Email Bomber, but that is not the point of this tutorial.

We already have many of these basic type tutorials in SF. Creating more just depletes their importance, Dope. Though you do have an attractive tutorial set up, thanks for your contribution!

All you need to do is change the SMPT/Port to your email's.

This is very unsecure as the application can be decompiled and the raw code can be used. It is a lot better to create a PHP script with simple Base64 encryption that allows the application to Base64 hash the credentials and use a HTTP WebRequest POST script to post the encrypted Base64.

Anyways, thanks for posting.
