Question

So I have a page where the users fill out a comments / request form and when the press submit all of the information they fill out gets sent right to my email.

I am trying to make it so when the email comes through it is easier to read and in tables or html. How do I do this?

Here is my code:

System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

            sb.AppendFormat("Request Name:  {0}, <b><b/>  <br/><br/>",   txtBugName.Text.Trim());
            sb.AppendFormat("Category: {0}<br/><br/>", ddlModule.SelectedValue);
            sb.AppendFormat("Sub-Category: {0}<br/><br/>", ddlPage.SelectedValue);
            sb.AppendFormat("Description: {0}<br/><br/>", txtComments.Text.Trim());
            sb.AppendFormat("Email is: {0}<br/><br/>", txtemail.Text.Trim());

What do I need to add to change the format?

Answer 1

Your code should look more like:

System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

sb.Append("<table>");
sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Request Name:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", txtBugName.Text.Trim());
sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Category:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", ddlModule.SelectedValue);
sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Sub-Category:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", ddlPage.SelectedValue);
sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Description:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", txtComments.Text.Trim());
sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Email is:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", txtemail.Text.Trim());
sb.Append("<table>");

Then I’m assuming the IsBodyHtml property is true, since you were using HTML already
