Sending email from Windows application

[ReidarT]

Is it possible to send email from a Windows-form application like I do
from a web-form application?

Reidar,

What are you doing using default mailclient or SMTP.

It both can in almost the same way.
(When you did it in ASP than reply because in ASPNET it goes a little bit
else).

You can still use the Web.Mail namespace if you are OK with having IIS
configured. Or you can always use a thirdparty emailing component or automate
Outlook or write your own lightweight SMTP component (It is not very
difficult if you dont have to do attachements. Just read the RFC and
implement the protocol.)

Check out http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/IndySMTP.asp for a sample
