Emailing from VB
-
Hi all, Does anybody know of a component which allows you to email from VB. I don't want to use MAPI as this requires the user has installed (and setup) Outlook or Word. I know there is a great example here on CodePrj in VC++. Does anybody know of anything similar for VB? How easy would it be to take the C++ code and wrap it into a DLL which could be called from VB? -- The Obliterator

I don't know of any additional VB controls, but I thought it came with Internet Controls? You could try searching for SMTP and Visual Basic from a search engine. If you have some skills in using VC++ (and can use the Wizards), its not too difficult to wrap up some source code to make a DLL that is accessible from VB. A straight "C" DLL will do it or a COM object. Dave.

I will look into the Internet Controls... I am not a VB developer so it really is something I have no idea of. Yeah I'm confident I could wrap the C source into a DLL... its using it from VB I was worried about! I will give it a go, cheers. -- The Obliterator

If you just want to do some simple smtp based email from a vb application you can run on over to www.planet-source-code.com ... do a seach in the vb section for email and/or smtp. I know there are several examples there. Good Luck! Jon
