Send E-mail Message with C# or VB.NET

NEW POST: Accessing the Class (Public/Private?)

I found the problem. Somehow, I got two versions referenced in my source. I right clicked on the code calling it and it brought up the other version. It was still Private. The code is now clean, but now I have to figure out our SMTP server. Thanks!

Hmmm.... Yeah, I have done both of those as public. Public Class and Public Shared Sub. The exact message is -- 'FlexDupCheck.SendEmail.Private Shared Sub SendMessage(...)' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Private'.

Thanks for pointing out that I left the methods set to Private - they should be Public (I'll upload a modified version soon).

Since you've changed the method to Public and you're still getting the error, make sure that you've also declared your VB class as public. For example:

Public Class SendEmail

Please let me know if this doesn't resolve your issue.

I am new to VB so this may be a dumb question. I setup the Class in its own window and added it to my project. When I try to call the class.routine as the example indicates, I get an error saying that I cannot call a Private subroutine. I tried to make it public and still get an error. I would like to keep it separate for use in other applications. Thoughts?
