I have a hosting site that supports CDONTS.  I am writting my code mostly in C# for ASP.NET.  When  I look up CDONTS I can not find any C# code.  Here is a code example I have found.

 Dim MyBody
Dim MyCDONTSMail

Set MyCDONTSMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
MyCDONTSMail.From= "regent@mypacks.net"
MyCDONTSMail.To= "dogy@mypacks.net"
MyCDONTSMail.Subject="sending email"
MyBody = "will it work"
MyCDONTSMail.Body= MyBody
MyCDONTSMail.Send

set MyCDONTSMail=nothing
alert ("sent?")

Where should I put code like this? Embeded in HTML or on the server side?  Is it VB (Visual Basic) code?  

When I try it as VB.net code I get errors like:

Error    41    Type 'CDONTS.NewMail' is not defined.    C:\Users\charles\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\MC4HA\TryBasicMail.aspx.vb    6    23    C:\...\MC4HA\

Is there some way to get CDONTS.NewMail defined? 

Thanks,

Chas

It is VB code, and you are getting the errors because you need to add a reference to the CDONTS mail package (i assume it is code you got from somewhere else) then you will need to add an import in your .vb file.

something like this for example:

Imports CDONTS;

 Seems like you are missing a reference to CDONTS library.

Are you using ASP.NET 2.0? if so, try System.Net.Mail namespace. Fairly easy to send emails via System.Net.Mail

I'm using 3.5.  Will that work with a host server that supports CDONTS?

Thanks,

Chas

If i just do that : Imports CDONTS;

I get : Name space doesn't have anything in it. (paraphrase)

Is CDONTS directly supported in Visual Studio or do I need a third party library to supply CDONTS?
Thanks,

 IN VS View > Object browser type CDONTS if it is present it shows

Right, its not there. I got what I needed using MailMessage.

Thanks so much for your help.

Stop using CDONTS.  It's old, deprecated and doesn't exist on new servers.  Use CDO, or better, see:

Thanks, I think you meant http://www.systemnetmail.com/.
