Error using example code to email from my C# code
Hi, I'm using VS2012.
I used this example, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms268749%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
just the code for CreateEmailItem()
I'm getting error in VS at
MailItem eMail = (MailItem)(this.Applicatio
Also, where do I set the "Send From" email? This will be called from my web application. Would Office/outlook need to be installed on the web server?
Thank you.

Here is an example I have used before. Note there is no error handling in this code
The MailMessage class has quite few option including a From field
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.mailmessage(v=vs.110).aspx
using System.Net.Mail;
public void SendEmail(string subject, string body) {
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.To.Add("me@home.com");
message.Subject = subject;
message.Body = body;
new SmtpClient().Send(message);
message.Dispose();
}

Thank you, yes, that's what I used before.
Question about if Office need to be installed on web server for this to work or not?

Your first example, yes. The one I posted no.
Note in my example I used SmtpClient() as I had set up my Smtp connection settings in the config file eg
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164240(v=vs.110).aspx
You will need to know the smtp server name in your environment and set this when creating the SmtpClient object or in your config settings.

Yes your sample requires Office to be installed which is really not a good thing especially on a server.
