As found, the sample you linked is C# — in VB you put the mail-sending code inside a Sub (as hinted). The modern, supported way in VB.NET (VB Express 2010 / .NET Framework) is to use System.Net.Mail.MailMessage and System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient. The example below is ready to drop into a form event handler or a module; replace the SMTP host/port and credentials with values from your mail provider.

Imports System.Net
Imports System.Net.Mail

Public Sub SendSimpleMail()
    Dim fromAddress As String = "sender@example.com"
    Dim toAddress As String = "recipient@example.com"
    Dim subject As String = "Test subject"
    Dim body As String = "Test message body"

    Using msg As New MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
        msg.Subject = subject
        msg.Body = body

        Using client As New SmtpClient("smtp.example.com", 587)
            client.EnableSsl = True
            client.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("smtp-username", "smtp-password")
            Try
                client.Send(msg)
            Catch ex As SmtpException
                ' Log or inspect ex.StatusCode and ex.Message for troubleshooting
            End Try
        End Using
    End Using
End Sub

Notes and quick troubleshooting:

  • Add Imports System.Net.Mail at the top of the file.
  • Use the correct SMTP host, port and whether TLS/SSL is required; many providers require authentication.
  • For GUI apps prefer SendAsync and handle SendCompleted to avoid blocking the UI.
  • If sending fails, check credentials, port/firewall, and whether the provider requires an app-specific password or OAuth-based access.

This is not C# or C++. This is VB.

you try public sub then the underlined ones, followed by end sub (Your code should between public sub and end sub)
