Question: How do I use Visual Basic to access the HTML code of a website?
The easiest way to do this in VB6 is probably to use the Microsoft MAPI control. MAPI is Messaging Application Programming Interface. Add this to your VB6 project by clicking Project from the top menu, then select Components. Scroll down the list until you find the Microsoft MAPI controls and click the check box to add it. Using the MAPI control involves two steps: 1. Establishing a MAPI session 2. Using MAPI properties and methods With the MAPI component, you can create and send a message, include a file attachment, verify the recipient's email address against the email system's address book and lots more. For example, this statement (with the proper supporting code) can sign on to a MAPI Session.
MAPISession1.SignOn

VB.NET EMail
In VB.NET, you can do essentially the same thing (but with more power and flexibility) using System.Net.Mail. The MailMessage class in that namespace represents the content of a mail message. The SmtpClient class transmits email to an SMTP host and you can create mail attachments using the Attachment class. You can find example code at Microsoft's MSDN site. These objects will probably do the job for you, but if you need to go to a lower level, search for SMTP, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, and POP3, the Post Office Protocol version 3. An alternative way to do the job is to take advantage of the Microsoft Outlook objects using automation. Add a Reference to the Microsoft Outlook object library to your VB.NET project. Using this method, the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application class represents the entire application, the MAPIFolder class represents a folder that contains e-mail messages or other items, and the MailItem class represents an e-mail message See More About:

Visual Basic/sending email within vb 6.0

Advertisement Expert: Pat Murphy - 10/20/2004
Question Hello, the goal is to send an automated email through vb app in the middle of the night without anyone present. If the outlook object is used, an 'are you sure' message

pops up if the user has outlook version 10. And if no one is present to answer the question, the email does not get sent. I have tried 3rd party software, simple to use, but more overhead in the project. What other objects/references in vb can I use to connect to an email server, and send email without using the outlook control? I have heard of MAPI but it is not an option in 'references' or 'components'. Where can I download the .ocx for this and what are its properties? Or is there another way to smtp? thanks Get the answer below

Answer I found Code for Winsock! 'Create a blank/normal form. Make sure that the MSWINSCK.OCX is loaded in the toolbar also. After that, l'oad the Winsock control onto the form, and one Command button. 'Add this code to the General Declaration of the form. 'These are the variables I use in the heart of the SMTP sub. Dim Response As String Dim Reply As Integer Dim DateNow As String Dim first As String Dim Second As String Dim third As String Dim Fourth As String Dim Fifth As String Dim Sixth As String Dim Seventh As String Dim Eighth As String 'Add this code below to the Winsock1_DataArrival Event Winsock1.GetData Response 'After that you'll add this code to the General Declarations area of the form/module. ' This is one of two subs that will wait for the SMTP server to 'return the appropriate return code before the SMTP sub can proceed to send any

mail. Sub WaitFor(ResponseCode As String) Dim tmr As Long While Len(Response) = 0 DoEvents If tmr > 50 Then MsgBox "SMTP service error, unable to get a response1", 64, MsgTitle Exit Sub End If Wend While left(Response, 3) <> ResponseCode DoEvents If tmr > 50 Then MsgBox "SMTP service error, unable to get a response2", 64, MsgTitle Exit Sub End If Wend End Sub This Next Sub Is the one which contains the flaw. See what happens Is 'right after I send the data, I get a string which needs to be parsed for the 'error code but for some reason Instr doesn't work, I'll appreciate it anyone can shed some light on this. Sub WaitFor2(ResponseCode As String) Dim tmr As Long tmr = Timer While Len(Response) = 0 If tmr > 50 Then MsgBox "SMTP service error, unable to get a response3", 64, MsgTitle Exit Sub End If Unload Techsup DoEvents Wend 'Reply = InStr(Response, "354 ") While Reply = 0 Reply = InStr(Response, ResponseCode) DoEvents Wend End Sub Here Is the heart of the SMTP Sub.
