Send out an email with VB.net

Question

I am trying to make a small form on VB.net that will send out an email with an attachment(s). I have tried the code below but I have a lot of unsolved compile errors. Is there a better way to do this below. This was some code that I found and tried to make it work for my purposes but didn't get it to work. Any thoughts or help on this will help.

I would be thankful to just get the email sent with out any attachments to start with. Thank you.

MailFormat.Text -- this is one error in the compile

    'SAME EXCEPT FIRST TAKES A STRING FOR ATTACHMENT

Try this

Imports System.Net.Mail
Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Try
            Dim SmtpServer As New SmtpClient()
            Dim mail As New MailMessage()
            SmtpServer.Credentials = New _
        Net.NetworkCredential("username@gmail.com", "password")
            SmtpServer.Port = 587
            SmtpServer.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
            mail = New MailMessage()
            mail.From = New MailAddress("YOURusername@gmail.com")
            mail.To.Add("TOADDRESS")
            mail.Subject = "Test Mail"
            mail.Body = "This is for testing SMTP mail from GMAIL"
            SmtpServer.Send(mail)
            MsgBox("mail send")
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class
