To send a Gmail email in VB.Net, you will need to use the System.Net.Mail namespace to create a SMTP client and send the email through Gmail's SMTP server. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to send an email using Gmail SMTP server in VB.Net:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 |
Imports System.Net.Mail
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim smtpServer As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
smtpServer.Port = 587
smtpServer.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "your_password")
smtpServer.EnableSsl = True
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
mail.From = New MailAddress("[email protected]")
mail.To.Add("[email protected]")
mail.Subject = "Test Email"
mail.Body = "This is a test email sent from VB.Net"
smtpServer.Send(mail)
Console.WriteLine("Email Sent!")
End Sub
End Module

Make sure to replace "[email protected]" and "your_password" with your own Gmail email address and password. Additionally, replace "[email protected]" with the email address of the recipient you want to send the email to.
You may also need to enable access for less secure apps in your Gmail account settings in order to send emails using this method.
