Using ASP.Net to send email

[SkydivingSteve]

I'm used to using classic ASP to send email using CDONTS or ASPEmail. Both require a component to be installed on the server. Does the .Net framework have a send email component installed by default or do I need to get a third party component?

TIA.

You can use the System.Web.Mail class to send email as long as you have access to a machine with an SMTP server.

I agree with Ca8msm, the system.web.mail class is extremely easy to configure. you can send email with this class with very little code. You can specify your smtp server, body, subject and even flag priority.
