Hi everyone,
Any idea how to automate generated send email using vb.net, example what time do you want to send the message. and set time before you leave and after that the system will automatic to generate.

Your application will obviously have to be running in order to send the email. Do you intend to have the app running all the time or do you want to invoke it using a Windows scheduled task or the like?

Yahh, obviously running, I read some article they suggest to used windows scheduled. The problem, how can I do that? Do you have an idea?

Thanks in advance~

The Task Scheduler is an applet under Control Panel -> Administrative Tools. If you create an app that can send the email, you can just open the Task Scheduler and schedule that app to run at the desired time.
