To send an e-mail with a simple text message, you have to use the Send() method of SMTP class. The syntax of the Send() method is shown in Listing 1.1 and an example is shown in Listing 1.2:
Listing 1.1
[Visual C# .NET]
SmtpMail.Send("FROM","TO","SUBJECT","MESSAGE BODY");
[Visual Basic .NET]
SmtpMail.Send("FROM","TO","SUBJECT","MESSAGE BODY")
Listing 1.2
[Visual C# .NET]
SmtpMail.Send("info@mydomain.com","hello@hello.com","Thank You",
"We look forward to working with you again in the
future");
[Visual Basic .NET]
SmtpMail.Send("info@mydomain.com","hello@hello.com","Thank You", _
"We look forward to working with you again in the _
future")
You can place the above code either on the form's Load() event or in a button control.

Instead of supplying all parameters in the Send() method, you can define properties and their corresponding values separately by creating an instance of the MailMessage class. With the help of this class, you can easily add attachments, set priorities, BCC, CC values, and much more. Table 1, given at the end of this article, shows a list of properties of the MailMessage class. Add the code given in Listing 1.3 by double-clicking the button captioned Submit:
Listing 1.3
[Visual C# .NET]
MailMessage objEmail = new MailMessage();
objEmail.To = txtTo.Text;
objEmail.From = txtFrom.Text;
objEmail.Cc = txtCc.Text;
objEmail.Subject = "Test Email";
objEmail.Body = txtName.Text + ", " +
txtComments.Text;
objEmail.Priority = MailPriority.High;
//SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost";
try{
SmtpMail.Send(objEmail);
Response.Write("Your Email has been sent sucessfully -
Thank You");
}
catch (Exception exc){
Response.Write("Send failure: " + exc.ToString());
}
[Visual Basic .NET]
Dim objEmail as New MailMessage()
objEmail.To = txtTo.Text
objEmail.From = txtFrom.Text
objEmail.Cc = txtCc.Text
objEmail.Subject = "Test Email"
objEmail.Body = txtName.Text & ", " &txtComments.Text
objEmail.Priority = MailPriority.High
'SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"
try
SmtpMail.Send(EMail)
Response.Write(Your E-mail has been sent sucessfully - _
Thank You)
catch exc as Exception
Response.Write("Send failure: " + exc.ToString())
End Try
Note: If you are using your local system (Server = localhost) instead of a real live server, you should properly enable relying on the Internet Information Server (IIS).
When you execute the above code, the server not only displays a confirmation message but also sends an e-mail to the address mentioned in the To and Cc text boxes with the information you entered in the respective fields. It is not necessary for you to enter a Cc address, but it is shown here as part of the explanation. Further, the e-mail will be sent with the highest priority.
