Problem when sending email in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. Please help!

[bienwell]

Hi all,

I've tried this code in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition to send
email. It didn't cause any errors, but didn't make any actions. The
Imports System.Net.mail is the object in this program. FromEmail and
Servername are variables in this code.


Dim mm As New MailMessage()
mm.From = New MailAddress(FromEmail)

mm.To.Add(Email_Address)

mm.Subject = subject

mm.Body = Msg



Dim smtp As New SmtpClient(ServerName)

smtp.Send(mm)



Anything wrong in this code ? Please advise. Thank you very much.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the code, but there may not be
enough of it...

Does your mail server require authentication?

Check my blog:
Even if you don't download/use the code provided, it helps you understand
the authentication models.

Smarter Email/Smtp setup with DotNet Configuration Sections (1.1 and 2.0)

Hi,

This code worked fine. My problem was .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0 were
installed in the same server and it took version 1.1 as default. It has
nothing to do with authentication.

Thanks a lot.
