Have you looked at the SmtpMail class that's in the framework?

Thanks!!

I'm going to try it right now, but I don't know if it will work because the thing is that my application runs in a PDA, so I don't know if the PDA will support it :_(

I will keep you informed, thanks again...

Have you added the "system.web" reference to your projects and used cdonts?

It doesn't use the Outlook object so you don't need it installed on the machine it's running from.

Here's some example code from one of my apps:

Dim oMsg As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage
oMsg.From = "a.b@mycompany.co.uk"
oMsg.To = "a.b@yourcompany.com"
oMsg.Subject = "Hi"
oMsg.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text
oMsg.Body = "My message"
oMsg.Priority = Web.Mail.MailPriority.High
Dim sFile As String = "C:\MyFile.txt"
Dim oAttch As System.Web.Mail.MailAttachment = New System.Web.Mail.MailAttachment(sFile, System.Web.Mail.MailEncoding.Base64)

oMsg.Attachments.Add(oAttch)
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "192.xxx.x.xx"
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(oMsg)

oMsg = Nothing 'clear memory space
oAttch = Nothing

Substitute 192.xxx.x.xx with your mail server IP address and that should work.

Thanks
