In previous section, I introduced how to send email with embedded image. In this section, I will introduce how to send email with event handler in VB.
In previous examples, after SendMailAsync method is invoked, if you want to know the progress of the email sending, you should use Event Handler. The following sample codes demonstrate how to use Event Handler to monitor the progress of email sending.
Note
Remarks: All of samples in this section are based on first section: Send email in A simple VB XAML Windows Store App project. To compile and run the following example codes successfully, please click here to learn how to create the test project and add reference of EASendMail to your project.
The following example codes demonstrate how to send email with event handler.
Note
To get the full sample projects, please refer to Samples section.
' Add EASendMail and Tasks Namespace
Imports EASendMail
Imports System.Threading.Tasks
Public NotInheritable Class MainPage
Inherits Page
Protected Overrides Sub OnNavigatedTo(e As Navigation.NavigationEventArgs)
End Sub
Private Sub OnSecuring(sender As Object, e As SmtpStatusEventArgs)
Dim status As String = e.Status
' status = "Securing ... "
textStatus.Text = status
End Sub
Private Sub OnAuthorized(sender As Object, e As SmtpStatusEventArgs)
Dim status As String = e.Status
' status = "Authorized"
textStatus.Text = status
End Sub
Public Sub OnConnected(sender As Object, e As SmtpStatusEventArgs)
Dim status As String = e.Status
' status = "Connected"
textStatus.Text = status
End Sub
Public Sub OnSendingDataStream(sender As Object, e As SmtpDataStreamEventArgs)
Dim status As String = [String].Format("{0}/{1} sent", e.Sent, e.Total)
textStatus.Text = status
End Sub
Private Async Function btnSend_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) _
As Task Handles btnSend.Click
btnSend.IsEnabled = False
Await Send_Email()
btnSend.IsEnabled = True
End Function
Private Async Function Send_Email() As Task
Dim Result As String = ""
Try
Dim oMail As New SmtpMail("TryIt")
' Set sender email address, please change it to yours
oMail.From = New MailAddress("test@emailarchitect.net")
' Add recipient email address, please change it to yours
oMail.To.Add(New MailAddress("support@emailarchitect.net"))
' Set email subject
oMail.Subject = "test email from VB XAML project"
' Set email body
oMail.TextBody = "this is a test email sent from Windows Store App, do not reply"
' Your SMTP server address
Dim oServer As New SmtpServer("smtp.emailarchitect.net")
' User and password for ESMTP authentication
oServer.User = "test@emailarchitect.net"
oServer.Password = "testpassword"
' If your SMTP server requires TLS connection on 25 port, please add this line
' oServer.ConnectType = SmtpConnectType.ConnectSSLAuto
' If your SMTP server requires SSL connection on 465 port, please add this line
' oServer.Port = 465
' oServer.ConnectType = SmtpConnectType.ConnectSSLAuto
Dim oSmtp As New SmtpClient()
' Add event handlers
AddHandler oSmtp.Authorized, AddressOf OnAuthorized
AddHandler oSmtp.Connected, AddressOf OnConnected
AddHandler oSmtp.Securing, AddressOf OnSecuring
AddHandler oSmtp.SendingDataStream, AddressOf OnSendingDataStream
Await oSmtp.SendMailAsync(oServer, oMail)
Result = "Email was sent successfully!"
Catch ep As Exception
Result = String.Format("Failed to send email with the following error: {0}", ep.Message)
End Try
' Display Result by Diaglog box
Dim dlg As New Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog(Result)
Await dlg.ShowAsync()
End Function
End Class

At next section I will introduce how to send email in asynchronous mode.
