ASP.NET 2.0 (and later) has a built in class, System.Net.Mail, to send email. Although the legacy System.Web.Mail class is still available in ASP.NET 2.0, it is recommended that you use System.Net.Mail class to send mail.
VB.NET Code Sample
| <%@ Page Language="VB" %> |
| <%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" %> |
| <script runat="server"> |
| Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) |
| |
| Dim strFrom = "postmaster@mydomain.com" |
| Dim strTo = "postmaster@mydomain.com" |
| Dim MailMsg As New MailMessage(New MailAddress(strFrom.Trim()), New MailAddress(strTo)) |
| MailMsg.BodyEncoding = Encoding.Default |
| MailMsg.Subject = "This is a test" |
| MailMsg.Body = "This is a sample message using SMTP authentication" |
| MailMsg.Priority = MailPriority.High |
| MailMsg.IsBodyHtml = True |
| 'Smtpclient to send the mail message |
| |
| Dim SmtpMail As New SmtpClient |
| Dim basicAuthenticationInfo As New System.Net.NetworkCredential("postmaster@mydoamin.com", "password") |
| |
| SmtpMail.Host = "mail.mydomain.com" |
| SmtpMail.UseDefaultCredentials = False |
| SmtpMail.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo |
| |
| SmtpMail.Send(MailMsg) |
| lblMessage.Text = "Mail Sent" |
| End Sub |
| </script> |
| <html> |
| <body> |
| <form runat="server"> |
| <asp:Label id="lblMessage" runat="server"></asp:Label> |
| </form> |
| </body> |
| </html> |
C# Code Sample
| <%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %> |
| <%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" %> |
| |
| <script language="C#" runat="server"> |
| protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) |
| { |
| //create the mail message |
| MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); |
| |
| //set the addresses |
| mail.From = new MailAddress("postmaster@mydomain.com"); |
| mail.To.Add("postmaster@mydomain.com"); |
| |
| //set the content |
| mail.Subject = "This is an email"; |
| mail.Body = "This is from system.net.mail using C sharp with smtp authentication."; |
| //send the message |
| SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("mail.mydomain.com"); |
| |
| NetworkCredential Credentials = new NetworkCredential("postmaster@mydomain.com", "password"); |
| smtp.Credentials = Credentials; |
| smtp.Send(mail); |
| lblMessage.Text = "Mail Sent"; |
| } |
| </script> |
| <html> |
| <body> |
| <form runat="server"> |
| <asp:Label id="lblMessage" runat="server"></asp:Label> |
| </form> |
| </body> |
