How do I send a simple email?
The following example demonstrates sending a simple text email.
 
[ C# ] 

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To = "me@mycompany.com";
mail.From = "you@yourcompany.com";
mail.Subject = "this is a test email.";
mail.Body = "this is my test email body";
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost";  //your real server goes here
SmtpMail.Send( mail );

[ VB.NET ] 
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
mail.To = "me@mycompany.com"
mail.From = "you@yourcompany.com"
mail.Subject = "this is a test email."
mail.Body = "this is my test email body"
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost" 'your real server goes here
SmtpMail.Send(mail)
