int Connect();
Remarks
This method connects to the mail relay and sends the SMTP HELO command, thus preparing for sending messages. Any number of messages can later be sent using the Send method.
Example (Connect and Send an Email)
control.MailServer = "MyServer" control.From = "me@server.com" control.SendTo = "recipient@server.com" control.Subject = "My Subject" control.MessageText = "This is the message body" control.Connect() control.Send() control.Disconnect()
Error Handling
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
