I know most people know how to do this but i looked for a way to do it when i first started vb so im posting it here.

How to email with an attachment:

Code

Imports System.Net.Mail

Gmail:

Code

Dim Mail As New MailMessage
      Mail.Subject = "Subject"
      Mail.To.Add("To email")
      Mail.From = New MailAddress("Your email")
      Mail.Body = ("Main text")

      Dim attachment As System.Net.Mail.Attachment
      attachment = New System.Net.Mail.Attachment("Path to file")
      Mail.Attachments.Add(attachment)

      Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
      SMTP.EnableSsl = True
      SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("Username", "Password")
      SMTP.Port = "587"
      SMTP.Send(Mail)

Hotmail/Live:

Code

Dim Mail As New MailMessage
      Mail.Subject = "Subject"
      Mail.To.Add("To email")
      Mail.From = New MailAddress("Your email")
      Mail.Body = ("Main text")

      Dim attachment As System.Net.Mail.Attachment
      attachment = New System.Net.Mail.Attachment("Path to file")
      Mail.Attachments.Add(attachment)

      Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient("smtp.Live.com")
      SMTP.EnableSsl = True
      SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("Username", "Password")
      SMTP.Port = "587"
      SMTP.Send(Mail)

I remember having an issue with GMail back in the day doing something like this... This will help people I'm sure so thanks for the share ;)

Assigning a string to an int property, and you're releasing a source? u kiddin?

[Strintent]

Well if it works it works and it does so no im not kidding

It won't compile with Option Strict on. He does have a point though. The port property is expecting type integer yet you're initializing with a string.

How would i change this then?

Remove the quotation marks. It's that easy!
