Mail To:

[Scooter]

I'm new to creating web pages, and the question i have is this, I have created a web form that collects a person's data (name, address,etc.) but I'm not quite sure how to have that data e-mailed to me automatically after they press the submit button. http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/newthread.php#

Confused

Should use something like

 

<form enctype="text/plain" action="mailto:test@test.com">

<input.....>

</from>

Won't this cause their default e-mail program to come up with my e-mail address showing in the address bar. I want it to automatically send the data in the form directly to my e-mail address, without any user intervention other than pressing the submit button.

Dim email As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage()

email.To = "RecipientAddress"

email.From = "SenderAddress"

email.Body = "MessageText"

email.Subject = "SubjectText"

email.BodyFormat = Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "SmtpServerName"

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(email)

 

Your web server has to have Smtp mail to do this and may require other properties to be set. I've never done it before, I just knew the namespace to look in for you.
