VB
Imports System.Net.Mail

Public Class sendmail

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Try


            Dim Smtp_Server As New SmtpClient
            Dim e_mail As New MailMessage()
            Dim attachment As System.Net.Mail.Attachment

            Smtp_Server.UseDefaultCredentials = False
            Smtp_Server.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential((txtuser.Text), (txtpass.Text))


            'sending failure
            Smtp_Server.Port = txtserport.Text 'cannot be read
            Smtp_Server.EnableSsl = cboserenssl.Text 'cannot be read
            Smtp_Server.Host = cboserhost.Text 'cannot be read
           
            e_mail = New MailMessage()
            e_mail.From = New MailAddress(txtfrom.Text)
            e_mail.To.Add(txtto.Text)
            e_mail.Subject = txtsubject.Text
           e_mail.IsBodyHtml = cbohtmlbody.Text 'cannot be read
            e_mail.IsBodyHtml = cbohtmlbody.Text
            e_mail.Body = txtbody.Text


            'this line here excute correctly but if a user didd'nt attach  a file, sending fails..
            'i want to send even w/o an attach file..
            attachment = New System.Net.Mail.Attachment(txtattach.Text) 'file path
            e_mail.Attachments.Add(attachment) 'attachment

           

            Smtp_Server.Send(e_mail)
            txtmailstat.Text = "Successfully send" ' if it fails to send, how to?



        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        End Try

    End Sub

Since you did not receive any solution for your question in 22 hours, I suggest you to make these changes to the question-

1.
2. Paste the exact error message. "cannot execute properly" does not make any sense to us. Can you guide some person who just says his code "cannot execute properly " ??????

sori.. the error is.> SMPT Server PORT, SSL, HOST and IsBodyHtml values in the comboboxes|textboxes cannot be read during the sending process.

1 solution

Try this fix-

VB
 attachment = New System.Net.Mail.Attachment(txtattach.Text) 'file path
if(attachment <> null)
            e_mail.Attachments.Add(attachment) 'attachment


Edit-

You are assigning a Text value to the Boolean property. So convert the text to Boolen first

e_mail.IsBodyHtml = cbohtmlbody.Text 'cannot be read

should be

e_mail.IsBodyHtml = Convert.ToBoolean(cbohtmlbody.Text) 'cannot be read

Same for other errors too..

Similarly
Smtp_Server.Host = cboserhost.Text 'cannot be read

Should be

Smtp_Server.Host = cboserhost.SelectedItem.Text 'cannot be read


And do not jump into programming without learning the basics

(attachment <> null)

'null' is not declared. 'Null' constant is no longer supported; use 'System.DBNull' instead.

The error is self explanatory.
