I'm new to windos programming using vb.net. I would like to send a simple email message from my app for registration purposes. How can I do this without knowing what mail program the user has on their machine?

Any pointers would be appreciated.
 
use

system.web.mail

add a refernece to this in the VS.net IDE and the use an imports statement
to access the object

Have a look at the 'System.Web.Mail' namespace (requires a reference to
"System.Web.dll").
 
The C# way is

using System.Diagnostics;

string toEmail = "(e-mail address removed)";
string subject = "Love the Program";
string body = "Thanks a lot";
string message = string.Format( "mailto:{0}?subject={1}&body={2}",
toEmail, subject, body );

Process.Start( message );


Add this to a linklabel and bobs your uncle.

VB should not be too disimilar

Hope this helps
