Hey guys,
So as you all may know (or not) I'm very new to programming and to the VB language. Most of my online studies have come from Brandon's tutorials on Youtube.
With the knowledge gleamed from those tutorials, I've been able to put together an application that stores credit card information for our donors at Church. The application is working very well, but I'd like to add a new functionality that allows me to notify the donor via email that their card is about to expire.
I've studied the MailMessage and SmtpClient classes and been able to create and send a message successfully. But now I don't know how I'm going to do that from my application - i.e, to query the database for the cards that are expiring and then create an HTML formatted message that includes the relevant card information for each of the donors affected.
I was wondering if any of you would be willing to take a look at the entire solution and see what they can do to assist. Please let me know and I can make the source and sample DB available for use. Thanks.
