Sending SMS Messages Via Email
Sep 5, 2011
A little while back, someone asked the question "How can I send an SMS text message via a VB program?", and it's not the first time that I've seen this asked. I thought, as a little side project (mainly just to get my head away from 'real work' for a while). Of course there are several ways this can be done, including the use of a GSM modem, but this only focuses on one aspect: Sending an SMS message via e-mail.
Rather than clogging this forum with a lot of code and screenshots, I've put it all together on my site.

I'm trying to get my program to send very simple text email messages. I did do a search beforehand, and found that I was having the same issue as someone else, but the specific question I have was not answered --
I've learned that if you're trying to send mail, you need an SMTP server... I found this list here but every one of them I've tried yields the same "Failure sending mail" error.
Here's my
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
mail.From = New MailAddress("me@mycompany.com")
mail.To.Add("destination-email@whatever.com")
[CODE]...
Is the problem that I need to show "credentials" (i.e. user/pass)? If so, what would those credentials be? Can I use my yahoo email SMTP server with my login info to do it? And is this all I'd need to add to add the credentials?
smtp.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("MyUsername", "MyPassword")
(before the smtp.Send, of course)

I am trying to Send an Email with an attachment (using Gmail) but I keep getting errors like "Operation Timed out" or Failure Sending Email". It was working earlier today but I found out that i needed to add Using statement because the email was having a file open that had to be deleted after it was sent but afterwards it doesn't work.
Here's what I have (Portion of it):
Private Sub SendMailOneAttachment(ByVal un As String, ByVal pass As String, Optional ByVal smtp As String = "smtp.gmail.com")
Using oAttach As Net.Mail.Attachment = New Net.Mail.Attachment((Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) & "\" & My.Computer.Name & "_" & fName & " .zip"))
Dim client As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient(smtp)
[Code] .....
The ports are correct I believe, no firewall up on my PC...

I have a grid view control in my application.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="CPUserID" DataSourceID="GetSelectDelegatesDataSource">
<Columns>
[code]....
And I have a image button
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnSendInvites" Visible="false" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images1/send_button.png" />

I am trying to add functionality to an existing program that can send a message from a Windows XP and Windows 7 computer to a group of computers that are running XP and Windows 7. Previously I was doing this with Net Send but as we are no purchasing
Windows 7 machines when we need to replace old computers, that is no longer an option.
I would prefer to have the message appear as a popup on the receiving computers as this is for calling for assistance from a supervisor or the QC department and they will not have to send a response.

I'm working on a program that detects any keyboard or mouse activity, and sends a message through the MSN (or Windows Live Messenger) protocol. The mouse and keyboard thing should be fine, but I don't know how to send messages through the MSN protocol.

I have made a app that allows me to keep track of when bills are due, it allows 8 bills and dates to be entered and once the time hits a specified time of day and the day that the bill is due it sends a text message to my phone, it works fine if only one of them are enable but if 2 are due the same day it seems to only send the first on that completes the if statement i made heres my code, the timer is set for ever 1 second tick (otherwise it sends multiple texts of the same bill due) This is the first 2 of the bills but the other 6 are the same
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick

I'm realizing a .NET chat application but i still have that error: I can send only a message per connection. For example. With the code below, i can send only one message that can be received correctly by the other peer, but if i send another message message, on the same connection,it won't be received by the remote PC. Here is the code:

All,I am trying to implement something so that my VB can be able to send/receive SMS messages to cell phone(modem). I tried researching a bit and found out that we can use MsComm control to do this but it is not available in Visual Basic express 2008 edition. Can we use serial port class to do this? If yes, how could we implement this?

Need some advice on class design. I've just started to use xxxService classes, so not really sure when and how to use them. A number of (identical) client applications connect to this program with socket TcpClient. Different type of messages needs to be sent from several different classes. Should I call a service class, with static methods, whenever I need to send some message (like code below suggests), or should I rather raise an event, and have some class registered to those events, that will format and send the messages.
That would kind of hide that sequence of events from these classes, but on the other hand, it would be a centralized class where one can see easily all events that trigger a message send. Which feels like a benefit. Would like to hear some advice on this. And if my last suggestion makes sense, what could such class be called, and would it be considered a ..Service class?
Example: (code is a bit "rough")
Class UserConnection
tcpClient As TcpClient
Public Sub SendMsg(msg as String)
[code]....

How would I create a multi-tcp chat room. Im having trouble handling them. I know you can store the connections as arrays or store then in hash tables. Is there a better way to data to a specific connected client. My way was to just broadcast the message to all the connected with the clients name (EX: Client1||MessageHere) || is the split. The client reads the message and sees if client name matches if it does then it will display it other then that it will not. I found out that my server was sending out useless data with this method. So is there a better way to handle/Send messages to a specific client?

I'd like to create one as I am an affiliate marketer who wants to reach customers based on key words. I don't regard this as spamming since I'm not randomly sending out links its based on key words like I said. Y!A might regard this as spamming anyways but so what. In Yahoo Answers you click the question you want to answer, type in the answer, it takes you to a preview screen, and then you click submit. I suppose the script/program could involve automating this task.
Its not that I need everything to be done when I'm away from the computer, I don't mind working the program at all each time I send a mass amount of messages. Someone created a program a while back that was *supposed* to send bulk messages as they stated in the description but as it turned out this was not an option you could only comment on resolved questions. When I did send mass comments to questions which related to my key words, I clicked the link to confirm my comments went through and they did not! This program was a waste of my time and energy but that's life.

I've been working on this personal project of mine and this has me stumped. I told my friend what i was trying to do and hes going to let me use his mail server that he uses at work. I have already looked on google for a sample application, but the only one i could find is not the one im looking for. Ive never worked with System.Net.Mail before so this is new to me. Im sure it would be something like this:
Imports System.Net.Mail
Dim toPhoneNumber As String = "DestinationPhoneNumber";
Dim login As String =

What I want is to be able to launch an email from VB in the same way that MAILTO: does from a browser. ie. it launches an email from whatever the deault client is.One of the posts on here (linked from the FAQ) mentioned to use MAPI, but the problem is that I can't figure out which 'imports' I need to use.
Googling around I can find lots of excamples of MAPI code, but none mention the imports. If I just paste the code into my VB form it just says that the names are not declared.Another post indicated that these weren't functions from an import, but rather I had to add a MAPI componant of some kind from the toolbox onto a form - but I can't find any MAPI things in the toolbox either...

I am a student who is working on a project for a company on mass emailing system. How do i add a Bcc attribute in my program? I found a few codes in the internet but all the codes are for pre-defined email address. What i am planning to do is to make my program such that the user can input their recipients' email addresses onto the BCC richtextbox(rtbBCC) instead of putting a pre-defined email address in my windows application design.
Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO
