Question

I have a problem with a form, I can’t send it. If I put wrong details (secure code, email, empty fields etc.), I get errors on screen, which is correct.

But when I enter all correct data, I can’t send the form, I get this error:

There was an error submitting your form. Please check the following:

But the list is empty.

    SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
    try
    {
        MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("[e-mail]", "string1");
        // decide who message goes to
        string emailGoesTo = "[e-mail]";

        MailAddress toAddress = new MailAddress(emailGoesTo.ToString(), "string1");

        message.From = fromAddress;
        message.To.Add(toAddress);
        message.To.Add("[e-mail]");
        message.Subject = "string2";
        message.Body = "New Website Contact Request";
        message.Body += "------------------------------------------\r\n";
        message.Body += "Name: " + your_name.Text + "\r\n";
        message.Body += "Email: " + your_email.Text + "\r\n";
        message.Body += "Telephone: " + your_telephone.Text + "\r\n";
        message.Body += "Company: " + your_company.Text + "\r\n";
        message.Body += "Address: " + your_address.Text + "\r\n";
        message.Body += "Postcode: " + your_zip.Text + "\r\n";
        message.Body += "Enquiry: " + your_enquiry.Text + "\r\n";

        // smtpClient.Host = "string3";
        smtpClient.Host = "string4";
        smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("string5", "string6");
        smtpClient.Send(message);
        Response.Redirect("thankyou.aspx");
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        statusLabel.Text = "Coudn't send the message!";
    }

I’m noobie, so is there any1 string5 & string6 please?

Also what is wrong? How to make this form working?

Answer 1

never tried to use smtpclient.host but the below works. Just need to add in the ip/host name of the mail server and make sure it is set up to allow relay from the machine calling the code. and replace the strings with the text you want. I’d suggest starting with something simple rather than feeding from form fields to eliminate any outside issues. Once the mail is sending then start adding additional pieces in.

    public static string mailServer = 'IP address or host name of mail server'
    public static void Send()
    {
        string subject = "test subject";
        string address =  "[e-mail]";
        string body = "some mail body";
        MailMessage mm = new MailMessage();
        mm.From = new MailAddress("[e-mail]"); //on behalf of
        mm.To.Add(new MailAddress(address));


        mm.IsBodyHtml = true;
        mm.Subject = subject;
        mm.Body = body;
        SmtpClient server = new SmtpClient(mailServer);
        server.Send(mm);
    }
}
