asp form submit

[pallys]

Hi,

I need a form submition feature from a User which will include the users name, company, and message text. This message is to be received via e-mail.
I have IIS on xp with asp available. the user wont have e-mail accounts availble so message must be sent via the form.

any ideas how i go abt doing this ?

cheers

Hi, well I got the email submition working using asp.net mailmessage() command.

now I realised I need the user to enter details such as testscript, test number,screen ID etc, basically its a customer form I have already designed.

But how do I submit this form to email via asp.net ?

Regards.

just set the correct properties in the instance of the mailmessage Class that you've just created with the values from the form....

not sure exactly what you mean, but if its what i think i tried then i cant because the mailmessage will only recognise certain typres such as subject, body, to , from..... i tried adding my own in but it *** just error

eg

Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'Screen' is not a member of 'System.Web.Mail.MailMessage'.

Source Error:

 

Line 38: mailObj.Subject = MsgSubject.Text
Line 39: mailObj.Body = MsgBody.Text
Line 40: mailObj.Screen = MsgScreen.Text
Line 41: 
Line 42:

yes mailobj is declared: Dim mailObj AS new MailMessage

yeah I tried to add screen as my own property because I need the user to specifially enter certain other attributes such as Screen Number, test number, and plenty more.

I have a form that requres various text to be entered in textboxes, and checkboxes selected that applies to the user filling in the form. I then need to get this all sent via email. How to do this via MailMessage() I dnt know because afaik u can write a message in using the body attribute of MailMessage() which I can get it to send fine using simple multiline text.

But how to send my custom form via MailMessage() I dnt understand :S

I never thought something relatively simple could be so complicated
