i have to send a message(not mail) form to a particular id
from within my windows form in vb.net.

i have used webbrowser control to access web sites.

please help in getting these things done.

I'm not sure what kind of message you want to send but you can open the MSDN library that shipped with Visual Studio 2003, click on the index tab and type "message." There is a wealth of information about sending messages to other Windows applications. The Process class can also be useful as well as the System.Diagnostics namespace.

I hope this helps.

hello Theoren,

That was a good help.

but there a new problem arised.

We have used mailmessage and SMTP Server to send mail

from vb.net windows form to any id(to [email protected]).

there is no error but i m not receiving the mail.

we tried to use TcpClient also but even that didnt help.

We are not sure what to assign as "SmtpServer".

What should be the IP Address and Port address.

Renju,

The SmtpServer parameter should either be the DNS name or IP address of your outbound mail server.

Thearon

hello Theoron,
please give me some example.

'Set the SmtpMail properties and send the mail message
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = smtpserver.domain.com
SmtpMail.Send(objMailMessage)

Hi Thearon,
I am using SmtpClient properties.
not SmtpServer.

code is something like this:


Imports System.Net.Mail
Public Class Form1

    'Inside the form’s code window:

    Public Sub SendAnEmail(ByVal MsgFrom As String, ByVal MsgTo As String, ByVal MsgSubject As String, ByVal MsgBody As String)

        Try

            ' Pass in the message information to a new MailMessage

            Dim msg As New Net.Mail.MailMessage(MsgFrom, MsgTo, MsgSubject, MsgBody)



            ' Create an SmtpClient to send the e-mail

            Dim mailClient As New SmtpClient("127.0.0.1") ' = local machine IP Address

            ' Use the Windows credentials of the current User

            mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = True



            ' Pass the message to the mail server

            mailClient.Send(msg)



            ' Optional user reassurance:

            MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Message Subject ' {0} ' successfully sent From {1} To {2}", MsgSubject, MsgFrom, MsgTo), "EMail", Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK, Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.Information)



            ' Housekeeping

            msg.Dispose()



        Catch ex As FormatException

            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message & " :Format Exception")

        Catch ex As SmtpException

            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message & " :SMTP Exception")

        End Try



    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        SendAnEmail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "only testing for email sending", "nothing")
    End Sub
End Class

I've not used that class personally. Do a search on Google for SmtpClient. You'll get lots of hits with some pretty good links.
