Email Application

Expand Post »

Hello frens,
I am new to ASP.Net and I am trying to create an application where I want to send my form contents to my email ID. I used the 2 approaches.

1) HTML form:

html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<form  enctype="multipart/form-data" runat=server action="mailto:abcd@efgh.com" method="post">
<p>Enter your name below:<br />
<input type="text" name="names" size="100" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit Feedback" /><br />
<input type="reset" value="Reset Feedback" /></p>
</form>
<form  enctype="multipart/form-data" runat=server action="mailto:abcd@efgh.com" method="post">
<p>Enter your name below:<br />
<input type="text" name="names" size="100" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit Feedback" /><br />
<input type="reset" value="Reset Feedback" /></p>
</form>

While the above code does send me a email with the name entered in the text box "text1", it open MS Outlook when I click on "Submit" button and there I have to again click the Send Button in the Outlook Window. Is there anyway that I can send an email directly just by clicking the Submit button once rather than having to send through Outlook? Something like as soon as I click on the Submit button on my form, it send a email and gives a confirmation that the message was sent.

2) ASP.Net namespace System.Web.Mail:

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
using System.Web.Mail;
public partial class email : System.Web.UI.Page
{
 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      SmtpMail.Send("abcd@efg.com", "ijkl@mnop.com", "Hiiiii", "body text here");
Response.Write("Success..!");
    }
}
using System.Web.Mail;
public partial class email : System.Web.UI.Page
{
 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      SmtpMail.Send("abcd@efg.com", "ijkl@mnop.com", "Hiiiii", "body text here");
Response.Write("Success..!");
    }
}

This approach does not work at all. It gives me the following exception.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid.

Do I need to give some SMTP server destination?

Please help...!

Thanks
Sharon.

Re: Email Application

I am using ASP.Net 3.0. Do I have to declare? I included the namespace System.Web.Mail

SmtpMail is a class in that namespace and Send is a method. So thats how I used it. If you have any other suggestions, that would help.

Thanks
Sharon.

Re: Email Application

You should Specify your SmtpServer as following:
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "abc"
