  "Generating" an e-mail message is no different than how you would deal with normal text/html but I assume your query is on how to send e-mails through ASP.NET (VB).

   

  Pretty much everything you would ever need to deal with e-mails is encapsulated in the System.Net.Mail namespace. I have put together a quick sample to send a simple plain text e-mail. Obviously, you will need to modify certain settings to suit your needs.

   

  Code Block

  Imports System.Net.Mail

   

  Public Sub SendEmail(ByVal address As String, ByVal message As String)

   

  Dim maFrom As MailAddress = New MailAddress("NOREPLY@blah.com", "Hello World!")

  Dim maTo As MailAddress = New MailAddress(address)

  Dim maReplyTo As MailAddress = New MailAddress("NOREPLY@blah.com", "Hello World!")

  Dim mm As MailMessage = New MailMessage(maFrom, maTo)

   

  mm.ReplyTo = maReplyTo

  mm.IsBodyHtml = True

  mm.Priority = MailPriority.Normal

  mm.Subject = "Hello World!"

  mm.Body = message

   

  Dim sc As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)

  sc.EnableSsl = True

  sc.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("blah@gmail.com","password")

  sc.Send(mmBody)

   

  End Sub

   

  I use the gmail SMTP server to send my e-mails. You could easily run a local SMTP server and send e-mails locally as well. In that case, all you have to do is set the host to "localhost" and most likely you won't need any credentials, so leave it on default.

  IF ur making it for ur personal use.. i.e.    local host.. using c#

  then u can also use   name space.. using System.Web.Mail;

   

  Code Block

  using System;
  using System.Data;
  using System.Configuration;
  using System.Web;
  using System.Web.Security;
  using System.Web.UI;
  using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
  using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
  using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
  using System.Web.Mail;
  using System.IO;
  

  
  public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
  {
      protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {

      }
      protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          
          MailMessage mesg = new MailMessage();
          StringWriter striter = new StringWriter();
          HtmlTextWriter htxt = new HtmlTextWriter(striter);
          htxt.RenderBeginTag("html");
          htxt.RenderBeginTag("head");
          htxt.RenderBeginTag("title");
          htxt.Write("urmail@gmail.com");
          htxt.RenderEndTag();
          htxt.RenderEndTag();
          htxt.RenderBeginTag("body");
        
          htxt.WriteLine(TextBox2.Text);
          htxt.WriteEncodedText(TextBox2.Text);
         htxt.RenderEndTag();
          htxt.RenderEndTag();

          //  in case u want attachments with it..
          MailAttachment  att = new MailAttachment("C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\My Documents\\Visual Studio 2005\\WebSites\\sendmail\\final.wmv");
          mesg.Attachments.Add(att);
         
          mesg.From ="admin<urmail@gmail.com>";
          //mesg.Priority = high;
          mesg.To = TextBox1.Text;
          mesg.Bcc = TextBox1.Text;
          mesg.Subject ="to chek";
          mesg.Body = striter.ToString();
          mesg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
          SmtpMail.Send(mesg);
      }
    }
  

   

   

  all the best..
