SMTP question

[Patrick de Ridder]

MailMessage myMail = new MailMessage();

myMail.From = textFrom.Text.Trim();

myMail.To = textTo.Text.Trim();

myMail.Subject = textSubject.Text.Trim();

myMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;

myMail.Body = textMsg.Text.Trim();

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = textSMTPServer.Text.Trim();

SmtpMail.Send(myMail);

*********************************

The above code produces this error:
Cannot access 'CDO.Message' object.
What is wrong?
Patrick.

Well, I see that the error cause possibilities are rather nemerous
Use a different dll?

I would strongly recommend you don't use the built-in MailMessage and
SmtpMail stuff in .NET

They're very simplistic wrappers (as you might suspect) for some calls to
the CDO COM components. The implementation is pretty poor in a number of
respects and you have very little control. It also has some installation
pre-requisites that aren't documented in the .NET documentation.

I would highly recommend you find a separate SMTP library, either one of the
open source implementations or one of the commercial libraries.

Hi Pete,

Right! I have downloaded QuikSoft and it works aok.
Both the indy dll and the Windows dll caused problems.

The Quiksoft library is free and must not be re-sold.
Could you recommend a commerical SMTP library to me?

Many thanks,
Patrick.

I actually haven't used any commercial ones, so I'd hesitate to recommend
any of them. Perhaps someone here has some experience and can help you out
there. I've only used the SMTP stuff for personal projects and have used
open source alternatives.
