Sending email via ASP.NET (VB)

Need to auto send an email upon click of a button. am searching the web for it - but cannot find a plain simple example - any help?

Have a function in your code behind that handles your button click

Use the SMTPClient class to send the mail

its ok having seaarched for longer and longer i found the simplest solution i could find. Ill post it as it may help others looking to simple send an email.

Dim myMessage As New Net.Mail.MailMessage()
Dim myMailServer As New Net.Mail.SmtpClient()
Dim sFrom As New Net.Mail.MailAddress("from address")
Dim sTo As New Net.Mail.MailAddress("recieve address")
Dim sSubject As String = "TestSubject!"
Dim sBody As String = "Message"

With myMessage
.From = sFrom
.To.Add(sTo)
.Subject = sSubject
.Body = sBody
End With
myMailServer.Host = "myhost"
myMailServer.Send(myMessage)
