Sending Mail - ASP.NET

Joe via DotNetMonster.com

Hi,

I'm trying out a test mail script but it doesn't seem to work. The error I
get is that mail is not declared on the mail.To line.

Also, do I need to specify the SMTP Server? I have it commented out:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Mail" %>

<script runat="server">

Dim mail As New MailMessage()
mail.To = "xx**@xxxxx.com"
mail.From = "yo*@yourcompany.com"
mail.Subject = "this is a test email."

mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
mail.Body = "this is my test email body.<br><b>this part is in bold</b>"
'SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost" 'your real server goes here
SmtpMail.Send(mail)
</script>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form runat="server">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Thanks

Hi,

try wiring the code into an event handler in the <script> element

Private Sub Page_Load(sender As Object,e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Code goes here
End Sub

And, yes it is recommended to specify the SMTP Server. It should use the
default local mail system (in IIS, placing eml files into directories) if
server isn't given, but it has had certain problems (though you'd face error
messages at that point). Just give it "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" and then
you might need to enable mail relaying in IIS SMTP Service (if you use it).
