Question

I am trying to send the user an email and I used this code:

MailMessage pMail = new MailMessage();

pMail.From = new MailAddress("[e-mail]");

pMail.To.Add(new MailAddress(eBox.Text));

pMail.Subject = "Elwazefa Password Reset";
pMail.Body = "Content";

SmtpClient sClient = new SmtpClient();
sClient.Send(pMail);

prError.Text = "An Email with further instructions has been sent to you";

and I am getting this error:

The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.

I also configured the smtp setting in the web.config file and tested it and it’s working fine

thanks

Looks like ebox.Text doesn’t contain a valid email address. Check the value you are entering in this textbox is a well formed email address.
