I using visual studio 2010 C++ Windows form application with net framework 4 and I want to send a simple text email without any login requirement. The code will read the text in richtextbox1 and email it to my email. which is custom email for example :
example@custom.com

I know how to do it in VB.NET and eventually C#, but not C++ :(

Can you do a search for me, I'm doing a search for 13 hours, did you use SMTP to send email?

SMTP is the simplest way of sending mail. You can use this:
Code: Select allusing namespace System::Net::Mail;
Code: Select all private: System::Void btnSend_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
SmtpClient^ sc = gcnew SmtpClient();
sc->Host = "localhost";
sc->Port = 25;
MailMessage^ mm = gcnew MailMessage();
mm->From = gcnew MailAddress("user@source");
mm->To->Add(gcnew MailAddress("example@custom.com"));
mm->Body = richTextBox1->Text;
sc->Send(mm);
}
