If statement problem

[karim]

Hello All, I have this code:

Dim mail As New MailMessage(txtTo.Text, txtFrom.Text, txtSubject.Text,
txtBody.Text)
Dim client As New SmtpClient(txtSMTP.Text)
If client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials Then
client.Send(mail)
MessageBox.Show("Message Sent", "Information")
Me.Close()
Else
MessageBox.Show("Please fill out all places")
End If

and I have the blue error line under the statement after "If". does anyone
see what I'm missing?

Thanks for all your help.

If you hover your mouse over the blue-wavy underline, you'll get more
specific information about the error, which we could use to help you out.

Hello All, I have this code:

Dim mail As New MailMessage ' . . . (etc
Dim client As New SmtpClient(txtSMTP.Text)
If client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetwork ' . . . (etc)
. . . and I have the blue error line under the statement after "If".
does anyone see what I'm missing?

You've probably pasted the code directly into your Form's declarations
section instead of into a Sub or Function.

I'm getting (VS 2008) an error on the comparison within the if statement.
Client.Credentials (ICredentialsByHost) are based on a particular server,
while CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials are network based
(NetworkCredential).

There is more about this in the remarks section of the MSDN docs for
SmtpClient.Credentials.

I think you are right Mike. The message I am getting says (operator '=' is
not defined for types system.net.IcredentialsByHost and system. net.network
credential.
