There are at least two things wrong:

First, you are confusing yourself with variable names. For example:

 Dim mySmtpClient As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage

Why do you call it mySmtpClient while it isn't a SmtpClient but a MailMessage?

Secondly, what do you think you need this object for? What are you doing with it? From what I can tell, not much. You still pass simple variables to the Send method instead of the actual MailMessage object:

Dim myMailMessage As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
myMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
...
' Some code here to assign things like the Subject and body to the message
Dim myClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
myClient.Host = "itascsrv01"
myClient.Send(myMailMessage)

I think you may need to brush up your .NET knowledge a little. Much of this is basic .NET coding, and IMO, most of it can be figured out simply by looking at IntelliSense, see what it offers, what it expects you to pass in and so on.

Hope this helps,

Well i am relative new to .net

i can right for a short time now in asp but not expert.
But i want to step on into .net instead of asp

and my asp start was a webshop so i wanted to change it in a .net webshop.

But your right my .net is really basic.
(i am going to improve this but the Webshop is kind of urgent.)

I've tried to set breakpoints:
He hits the isbodyhtml = true so that aint the problem the thing is (i think) the isbodyhtml is set on a diffrent piece of code.

But i want to thank you for all your help ill try to find it out myself becouse you allready did more then enough ;)

I didn't say .NET is basic; I said that the stuff with variables etc is basic within .NET

How does your code look like now?

And don't worry about being new and asking questions; that's what these forums are for.

I now have the following code.

 

this doesn't give any errors and sends out the mail

but not in html
(though if i hit the following line with a breakpoint:
                MyMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True


he shows me the line. I've tried multiple scripts but it all has its downsides all the time it says i cant use names and they don't excists :S.)


EDIT:
I also want to CC the same message to 3 people also the cc funtion i can;t get to work it says it's the wrong type.

Looks like we're stuck in a loop. Did you see the code I posted in my previous message? You keep sending plain stuff in the Send method. Look at my code again and see I send the MailMessage object, not a separate To address, Subject, body and so on.

So basically, you need your code to this:

1. Instantiate a MailMessage
2. Set stuff like To, From, Subject and Body
3. Set IsBodyHtml = True
4. Send the message by using the Send method and pass in the MailMessage instance, not separate parameters.

I can't make it any easier than this. My last example shows you how to do it. If that's not enough, Google a bit for more information and complete examples.

Cheers,

Imar

Jeah i know you said that

To, From, Subject and Body

But To is a variable
Body is a variable
Subject i declared above the code

But i am now going to try it like how you say it.

here is the body and subject:
                Dim theSubject As String = "Je bestelling bij Itasc"
                Dim theMessage As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText _
                  (AppConfiguration.ConfirmationMessageLocation)

Heuh?? Not sure what you are asking. What do you mean with "To is a variable"? It's a property of the MailMessage class. You need to use its Add method to add an address.

Why don't look at my code, adapt your to it, and then post the full code. It's about the Send method, not something else that's important here. Or take a look here: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/072606-1.aspx

Wait i'll say whats going on:

1st: I can send an email with everything in it, it is just not formatted in html.


Then you said i should use the code:
  But how can i assign the subject and body etc if this is my code above the class:

 


And then
if i do this:
  i get the following error:
1. Property access must assign to the property or use its value.


I thought i could just change the original code so that it would format it in html ;)

But i am going to check the 4 guys from rolla page.







EDIT:
ive check the 4guys page and tried this:
 

This works okej

But my question is
how do i make the:

to: a variable (because its diffrent for every customer)
body: a variable (this needs to show the gridview en ordernumber)

That is my big question ;)

The To property is a collection so you need to call its Add method:

myMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress(Address, Name)

The From is also a strongly typed object:

myMessage.From = New MailAddress(Address, Name)

I'll try to post a better example later but this should be enough to get you a step further. You can also use this to Google or search elsewhere a bit further.
