Format email when using system.web.mail

I have an aspx form that a user submits information, which is recorded to a database.

I want to send an email confirming their info. I am using vb.net a system.web.mail. Sending a static email works fine, but I want to include session variables of what they submitted and format the email such as put the data into a table.

I am having trouble formatting the text to send the HTML email.

Here is what I am trying...
I start with

Session("EmailMsg") = "<b>Thank You for your Order: </b> " & Session("MyOrder") & "<br/>"

Then for each row of inforation the user submits I am doing this...

Session("EmailMsg") = Session("emailmsg") & lblItem1.Text & "      " & lblDescp1.Text & "      " & txtQty1.Text & "<br/>"

I have tried things like with no success

Session("EmailMsg") = Session("emailmsg") & "<table><td> lblItem2.Text</td> & "" & <td>lblDescp2.Text</td> & "" & <td>txtQty2.Text</td> &</table><br/> "

Can someone help me with formatting this email.

Thank You.

Excuse the last line, that's my C# showing through :)
It should be:

Dim emailText As String = sb.ToString()
