Question

emailing form data

Asked by: Tsrom

I wonder if anyone could help me to understand how I would send the data from a html form  to an email address.
 
Let's say that i want to send the form's data that a user types in the form's input to an email addess how do you do it?
 I know that you may use an ISAPI to redirect the request but how do you send the requested data to an email.

I hope someone helps me, I just do not get it.

put eveything inside variables and build your html there.

e.g
System.Web.HttpRequest Request = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request;

                        ErrorMessage =   "=================================================================" +  Environment.NewLine;
                        ErrorMessage +=  "           " + "\r\n";
                        ErrorMessage +=  "=================================================================" + "\r\n";
                        ErrorMessage +=  "" + Environment.NewLine;
                        ErrorMessage +=  "There is a problem with the page that has been requested and it" + "\r\n";
                        ErrorMessage +=  "cannot be displayed." + Environment.NewLine;
                        ErrorMessage +=  "" + Environment.NewLine;
                        ErrorMessage +=  "HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP .NET error" + Environment.NewLine;
                        
                        ErrorMessage +=  "" + Environment.NewLine;
                        ErrorMessage +=  "Technical Information (for support personnel):" + Environment.NewLine;
                        ErrorMessage +=  "----------------------------------------------" + Environment.NewLine;



                        ErrorMessage +=  Environment.NewLine  + "========================End of Error Message =================================" + Environment.NewLine;

                        //========================== send email ====================================//

                        System.Web.Mail.MailMessage MailMessage = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
            
                        MailMessage.To = "emailto";
                        MailMessage.From = "emailfrom";
                        MailMessage.Body = "Error in appat " + System.DateTime.UtcNow.ToString() + " UTC \n" +  Environment.NewLine + ErrorMessage;
                        MailMessage.Subject= "System Message Alert " + System.DateTime.UtcNow.ToString() + " - " + TicketID;

                        //Msg.Body += "On server " + Server.MachineName +"\n\n";
                        //Msg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;

                        SmtpMail.SmtpServer = Request.ServerVariables["LOCAL_ADDR"];

Could you show me a little more of an example with a small form?
Like a form with:
 
Name
Address
city
state

submit

Thanx - Tsrom

 

by: alain123Posted on 2004-03-09 at 12:47:14ID: 10554476

string sName = Request.Form("Name");
string sAddress = Request.Form("Address");
string scity = Request.Form("city");
string sstate = Request.Form("state");

string sHTML = "<html><head></head<body><br>Name: " + sName + " <br> Address: " + sAddress  + ... etc ; //build the html here

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage MailMessage = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
         
                    MailMessage.To = "emailto@hotmail.com";
                    MailMessage.From = "emailfrom@hotmail.com";
                    MailMessage.Body = sHTML ;

                    MailMessage.Subject= "Basic info from form";

                    Msg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;

                    SmtpMail.SmtpServer = Request.ServerVariables["LOCAL_ADDR"];
