How to use my default mail client to mail any file?

[Guest]

Hi all,

I am working on an application, which generate xml files. Now, I want to
send these xml files as attachments to other persons using my default mail
client, like mozilla thunderbird. I want to send these files by just
specifying the mail address of the required person.

AFAIK there is no general solution which will work with all mail clients.
However, maybe using .NET's built-in mailing classes to send the mail is an
option (.NET 1.*: 'System.Web.Mail', .NET 2.0: 'System.Net.Mail').

I tried this way by using System.Web namespace but the problem that I am
facing is that it does not take the mail server address by default. Every
time I have to mention my mail server's address whenever I want to send
mails. Is there anyway, by which it can automatically take mail server's
address.

Hi Dush,

Are you using ASP.NET or WinForms?

Hi,

I am using WinForms. I am sorry I should have mentioned it earlier. It's a
Windows application.

best I could do.....

Dim regKey As RegistryKey
Dim sSmtpServer As String
Try
regKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey _
("Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager", False)
Dim sMailAccount As String _
= regKey.GetValue ("Default Mail Account")
regKey.Close()

regKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey _
("Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager" _
& "\Accounts\" & sMailAccount, False)
sSmtpServer = regKey.GetValue ("SMTP Server")

Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
Finally
If Not regKey Is Nothing Then _
regKey.Close()
End Try
