Sending Email with VB.NET and .NET 2.0
Sending Email with VB.NET is very easy. Just follow the steps below:
1.) Declare mail_body as string, containing the email body.
2.) Set references to the following .NET global assemblies.
3.) Compose and send your email by using the SmtpClient Class

 Dim mail_body As String
        mail_body = “your email message here.”

        Try

            Dim message As New MailMessage(”originator@email.com“, “recipent@email.com”, “Your Email subject”, mail_body)
            Dim emailClient As New SmtpClient(”your.email.server”)
            Dim SMTPUserInfo As New System.Net.NetworkCredential(”smtp_username“, “smtp_password”)
            emailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = False
            emailClient.Credentials = SMTPUserInfo
            emailClient.Send(message)
        Catch ex As Exception

            MessageBox.Show(”Error: ” & ex.Message)
            Exit Sub
           

        End Try
