Question

In between the head and body I have :

<script language="C#" runat="server"> 

private void sendmail(Object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        try
        {

            MailMessage mailObj = new MailMessage();
            mailObj.From = "[e-mail]";
            mailObj.To = "[e-mail]";
            mailObj.Subject = "Email via site ";
            mailObj.Body = "Dit is een email verstuurd via ASP.net .";
            //mailObj.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
            SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.one.com";
            SmtpMail.Send(mailObj);
            Response.Write("Email werd succesvol vestuurd");
        }
        catch (Exception x)
        {
            Response.Write("Email werd niet verstuurd: " + x.Message);
        }
    } 
    </script> 

and in my body I have

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server"> 

But no email is being send, why not ??

Answer 1

Because you need to trigger the sendmail method. There’s nothing in your code that calls it.

You could have a button on your markup that invokes sendEmail when it is clicked.

For example:

<asp:button id="btnSend" OnClick="sendmail" runat="server" Text="Send" />

Also, SmtpMail is obsolete. Use SmtpClient
