ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Name

MailMessage

Synopsis

This class encapsulates an email message. To send an email message programmatically, create a MailMessage object, set the appropriate properties and use the SmtpMail.Send() method.

The properties of the MailMessage class are fairly straightforward and include all the typical details entered in an email program, such as subject, priority, and the email addresses for the sender, recipient, and any carbon-copied recipients (all as strings). You can also use the Attachments collection to add MailAttachment objects to a message.

The actual body of the email message is set as a string through the Body property. You will have to add line return characters (for example msg.Body = "Hi Bob, " & System.Environment.NewLine & "This is it!") as required. If you set the BodyFormat property to MailFormat.Html, you can also insert standard HTML markup tags.
