I'm trying to make an feedback form, but have never done this before. I found a tutorial that explains it in VB but even though the code works for him it doesn't seem to work for me. After failing, I tried yet another tutorial and still no go! But since the first one looks simpler, I decided to try it again. Can some please help me by explaining to me what I did wrong?
I have 4 textboxes Name
, Email
, Telephone
and Comments
The error seems to be by
Dim message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(from, "jaun@bulldogbroadband.co.za", "feedback", body)
error: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.
tutorial: [How Do I:] Create a "Contact Us" Page?
Protected Sub btnSend_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSend.Click
SendMail(txtName.Text, txtEmail.Text)
SendMail(txtTel.Text, txtComments.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub SendMail(ByVal from As String, ByVal body As String)
Dim mailServerName As String = "SMTP.bulldogbroadband.co.za"
Dim message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(from, "jaun@bulldogbroadband.co.za", "feedback", body)
Dim mailClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient
mailClient.Host = mailServerName
mailClient.Send(message)
message.Dispose()
End Sub
Fixed it, still don't understand what went wrong because the email address is valid, and I don't know if I'm allowed to do this but i'm gonna paste the code that I am currently using, because it seems stack overflow has very strict rules
