Sending Emails from Code

[Helen Trim]

I have a program that sends emails automatically. It works correctly, but
each time it sends an email, a message appears warning the user and they have
to wait 5 seconds for the Yes button to appear before they can click it.
This is a bit annoying.

Is there an Outlook setting that will stop this message appearing? Or can I
edit the code?

It is written in VB .Net:
Dim Email As New OutlookClass
Dim Message As Outlook.MailItem

Message = Email.OutlookApp.CreateItem(0)
Message.To = "Email address"
Message.Subject = "TCI Card "
Message.Body = "Text"
Message.Send()

Thanks,
Helen

I am curious why you are not using 'System.Web.Mail' (.NET 1.0/1.1) or
'System.Net.Mail' (.NET 2.0), which won't require Outlook to be installed.

Good point, Herfried.

It is a Windows application and I haven't found out yet how to send email
without using Outlook.

I'll keep looking but if you have any tips, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

You need to add a reference to system.web (even from a Windows application).

See http://www.systemwebmail.com/

Add the reference as Heinfred pointed out. Here's a simple, but working
function.

Private Function SendMail() As Boolean

'Set up SMTP mail parameters
Dim Email As New MailMessage
Email.To = EmailTo 'String variable
Email.From = EmailFrom 'String variable
Email.Subject = EmailSubject 'String variable
Email.Body = EmailBody 'String variable
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = (SMTPServer) 'Name of your SMTP server

'Send the mail
SmtpMail.Send(Email)

End Function
