How to send an email with attachment in asp.net 2.0

I have seen many posts over forums asking for how to send emails in asp.net.

In this blog post, I am going to post code snippet to send email in asp.net (with / without attachment).

MoreOver, for Complete FAQ for the System.Net.Mail namespace found in .NET 2.0 (Click here for System.Web.Mail). This is an excellent resource to understand total mail functionalities in asp.net.

Check out Below Code to send email in asp.net:

C#

using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;
-----------------------

        public static bool SendMail(string strFrom, string strTo, string strSubject, string strMsg)
        {            
            try
            {                
                // Create the mail message
                MailMessage objMailMsg = new MailMessage(strFrom, strTo);
                
                objMailMsg.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
                objMailMsg.Subject = strSubject;
                objMailMsg.Body = strMsg;
                objMailMsg.Priority = MailPriority.High;
                objMailMsg.IsBodyHtml = true;

                //prepare to send mail via SMTP transport
                SmtpClient objSMTPClient = new SmtpClient();
                objSMTPClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;
                objSMTPClient.Send(objMailMsg);
                return true;                
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }

			Try
				' Create the mail message
				Dim objMailMsg As MailMessage = New MailMessage(strFrom, strTo)

				objMailMsg.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8

				objMailMsg.Priority = MailPriority.High
				objMailMsg.IsBodyHtml = True

				'prepare to send mail via SMTP transport
				Dim objSMTPClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient()
				objSMTPClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis

			Catch ex As Exception
