vb.net send mail is failing - asp.net

Question

What am I missing in the code below? I am getting a failure sending email message.
Private Sub sendTestEmail()
Dim EmailBody As String
EmailBody = "This is a test *****************"
Dim TestEmail As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("webserver#companyname.com", "Smilinglily#companyname.com", "TestEmail", EmailBody)
Dim EmailServer As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("localhost")
EmailServer.SendAsync(TestEmail, Me)
End Sub

Answer 1

Looks like your code came from here
It is probably that your SMTP server is not installed or configured on localhost.
It could also be a security problem stopping your localhost SMTP server from forwarding the mail.

Answer 2

I Have written the class which can perform this task easyly.
Imports System.Net.Mail
Public Class GGSMTP_GMAIL
Dim Temp_GmailAccount As String
Dim Temp_GmailPassword As String
Dim Temp_SMTPSERVER As String
Dim Temp_ServerPort As Int32
Dim Temp_ErrorText As String = ""
Dim Temp_EnableSSl As Boolean = True
Public ReadOnly Property ErrorText() As String
Get
Return Temp_ErrorText
End Get
End Property
Public Property EnableSSL() As Boolean
Get
Return Temp_EnableSSl
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Boolean)
Temp_EnableSSl = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property GmailAccount() As String
Get
Return Temp_GmailAccount
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Temp_GmailAccount = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property GmailPassword() As String
Get
Return Temp_GmailPassword
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Temp_GmailPassword = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property SMTPSERVER() As String
Get
Return Temp_SMTPSERVER
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Temp_SMTPSERVER = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property ServerPort() As Int32
Get
Return Temp_ServerPort
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Int32)
Temp_ServerPort = value
End Set
End Property
Public Sub New(ByVal GmailAccount As String, ByVal GmailPassword As String, Optional ByVal SMTPSERVER As String = "smtp.gmail.com", Optional ByVal ServerPort As Int32 = 587, Optional ByVal EnableSSl As Boolean = True)
Temp_GmailAccount = GmailAccount
Temp_GmailPassword = GmailPassword
Temp_SMTPSERVER = SMTPSERVER
Temp_ServerPort = ServerPort
Temp_EnableSSl = EnableSSl
End Sub
Public Function SendMail(ByVal ToAddressies As String(), ByVal Subject As String, ByVal BodyText As String, Optional ByVal AttachedFiles As String() = Nothing) As Boolean
Temp_ErrorText = ""
Dim Mail As New MailMessage
Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient(Temp_SMTPSERVER)
Mail.Subject = Subject
Mail.From = New MailAddress(Temp_GmailAccount)
SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(Temp_GmailAccount, Temp_GmailPassword) '<-- Password Here
Mail.To.Clear()
For i As Int16 = 0 To ToAddressies.Length - 1
Mail.To.Add(ToAddressies(i))
Next i
Mail.Body = BodyText
Mail.Attachments.Clear()
If AttachedFiles IsNot Nothing Then
For i As Int16 = 0 To AttachedFiles.Length - 1
Mail.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(AttachedFiles(i)))
Next
End If
SMTP.EnableSsl = Temp_EnableSSl
SMTP.Port = Temp_ServerPort
Try
SMTP.Send(Mail)
Return True
Catch ex As Exception
Me.Temp_ErrorText = ex.Message.ToString
Return False
End Try
End Function
End Class
Its the way, how to use class:
Dim GGmail As New GGSMTP_GMAIL("MyFromAddress1#gmail.com", "AccPassword", )
Dim ToAddressies As String() = {"ToAddress1#gmail.com", "ToAddress2#gmail.com"}
Dim attachs() As String = {"d:\temp_Excell226.xlsx", "d:\temp_Excell224.xlsx", "d:\temp_Excell225.xlsx"}
Dim subject As String = "My TestSubject"
Dim body As String = "My text goes here ...."
Dim result As Boolean = GGmail.SendMail(ToAddressies, subject, body, attachs)
If result Then
MsgBox("mails sended successfully", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
Else
MsgBox(GGmail.ErrorText, MsgBoxStyle.Critical)
End If
Hope this helps. Good coding
