every time I declare a new MailMessage the page won't load, not matter what I've tried, I get a runtime error at every point, and there doesn't seem to be alot of help online for the system.net.mail class
my code so far, I haven't had the chance to test it as even the declaration causes a runtime error
all I need is the easiest way to send text and some pictures from an online form, if there is an easier way to do this that'd bef fine
sending just text through Dim objMailer As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
my code bellow
Public Sub SendEmail(ByVal emailFrom As String, ByVal emailTo As String, ByVal emailSubject As String, ByVal emailBody As String)
Dim objMailer As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
Dim senMail As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessag
objMailer.Host = 'myrelayserv.com' ' Your SMTP server
objMailer.Send(emailFrom, emailTo, emailSubject, emailBody)
End Sub
the rest of my code, right now it's all in comments as I can't get the mailmessage issue resolved, if you notice any problems in it please do let me know
Sub Submit_Form(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)
'SendEmail(Me.email.Text, 'mail@school.edu', Me.name.Text, Me.ideas.Text)
'create the mail message
Dim senMail As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessag
'set the addresses
senMail.From = New MailAddress(Me.email.Text)
senMail.To.Add('mail@schoo
'set the content
senMail.Subject = Me.name.Text
senMail.Body = Me.ideas.Text
'add an attachment from the filesystem
senMail.Attachments.Add(Ne
''to add additional attachments, simply call .Add(...) again
''mail.Attachments.Add(New
''mail.Attachments.Add(New
''send the message
Dim smtp As New SmtpClient('myrelayserv.ed
smtp.Send(senMail)
End Sub

the first biggest problem is with this code
Dim senMail As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessag
When I comment it the page loads, when I leave it in the page doesn't. Even when I comment everything else and just leave this line in it crashes. I get a runtime error, but I can't enable debugging on the server.
"Server Error in '/' Application......."
dim sendMail as New MailMessage also crashes the page.
on the right you should have the solution explorer. If you dont have it go to the top menu and select View | Solution explorer
that will allow you to see all of the files in your project. The top file listed will probably be the solution file. The second file down should be the project file. Directly below that you should see something called "My Project" Double click that. Then on the left there are some tabs. The 4th one down is references. Click that. At the bottom of the window you should see a set of namespaces. scroll down until you see system.web.mail make sure it us checked.
Another way to get there is to right click on the project file and go to Add reference. Then you select the system.web.mail from the .net tab and click ok
ok I got to the point of this;
Dim msg As System.Net.Mail.MailMessag
Dim smtp As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
Dim addrFrom As New System.Net.Mail.MailAddres
Dim addrTo As New System.Net.Mail.MailAddres
msg.From = addrFrom
msg.To.Add(addrTo)
msg.Subject = Me.name.Text
msg.Body = Me.ideas.Text
if I call msg as New System.Net.Mail.MailMessag
if I don't call it as new, it crashes when I try to submit the form field.

Does the page load at all? If not paste the entire page here please. If it does load and you run the code below do you get an error? if so what is the error.
Dim smtp As New SmtpClient('myrelayserv.ed
smtp.Send(Me.email.Text, 'mail@school.edu', Me.name.Text, Me.ideas.Text)
What framework version are you using. You might also try a different SMTP as the one you are trying may require authentication to relay messages. There are some free SMTP services on the net you might try.
