                                  Hi friends, in this article I will explain about how to send email using Gmail in VB.NET or C#.

                                 Sending email's from web applications is a very common requirement in most projects. This article explores how to send Emails in ASP.NET.In ASP.NET, sending emails has become simpler. The classes required to send an email are contained in the System.Net.Mail.

• First   Imports or using the System.Net.Mail namespace.
• Create a MailMessage object. This MailMessage class contains the actual message what you want to send to your friends.
• Dim mail As MailMessage = New MailMessage()
• The constructor of this MailMessage class is used to specify the sender email, receiver email, subject, body.
• After creating a message, use the SmtpClient to send the email to the specified SMTP server. I am using Gmail SMTP server smtp.gmail.com.

Write or copy and paste the below code.

VB.NET:

Imports System.Net.Mail Partial Class sendmail     Inherits System.Web.UI.Page     Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click         Dim mail As MailMessage = New MailMessage()         mail.To.Add("Your Email address like xxxxxxx@gmail.com")         mail.From = New MailAddress("xxxxx@gmail.com")         mail.Subject = "Aspdotnet-kishore: Send Email using VB.NET"         Dim Body = "Hi, This is the test mail to send mail using Gmail in ASP.NET"         mail.Body = Body         mail.IsBodyHtml = True         Dim smtp As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient()         smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com" 'Or  SMTP Server Address         smtp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("Your Email address like xxxxxxx@gmail.com", "password")         smtp.EnableSsl = True         smtp.Send(mail)     End Sub End Class

C#.NET:

using Microsoft.VisualBasic; using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Data; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Net.Mail; partial class sendmail : System.Web.UI.Page {      protected void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)      {           MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();           mail.To.Add("Your Email address like xxxxxxx@gmail.com");           mail.From = new MailAddress("xxxxx@gmail.com");           mail.Subject = "Aspdotnet-kishore: Send Email using VB.NET";           dynamic Body = "Hi, This is the test mail to send mail using Gmail in ASP.NET";           mail.Body = Body;           mail.IsBodyHtml = true;           SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();           smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";           //Or  SMTP Server Address           smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("Your Email address like xxxxxxx@gmail.com", "password");           smtp.EnableSsl = true;           smtp.Send(mail);      } }

                                   In the above code replace the  xxxxxxx@gmail.com  with the email address of what address you want to send and Your Email address like xxxxxxx@gmail.com", "password with the your email address password.When you execute the above code the email is automatically send to your email address .
