send email in asp.net 2.0

Aug 14, 2009 06:26 AM|LINK

Hi

I have read some codes posted at the forum regarding the topic of Send Email thru asp.net.

I have gone thru your code and modified it as below:

in web.config:

<configuration>
<appSettings>

     'here i defined my hotmail as recepient, so senders will send all their enquiries to my hotmail
   <add key="MailToAddress" value="myemail@hotmail.com"/>
</appSettings>
    <connectionStrings/>

<system.net>

    <mailSettings>
       <network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" userName="myemail@gmail.com" password="xx" defaultCredentials="false"/>

      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
</system.net>

In code behind ( on button click):

Dim MailFrom As String = txtEmailAddress.Text.Trim

        'receiver's email address
        Dim MailTo As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("MailToAddress")
        Dim MailSubject As String = txtSubject.Text.Trim
        Dim MailBody As String = txtBody.Text.Trim

        If MailFrom <> "" And MailTo <> "" And MailBody <> "" Then
            Try
                Dim MailClient = New SmtpClient
                MailClient.EnableSsl = True

                MailClient.Send(MailFrom, MailTo, MailSubject, MailBody)

                PnlEmailForm.Visible = False
                PnlEmailSentForm.Visible = True
                lblMessage.Text = "Your email has been successfully sent to the Store Owner."

            Catch SmtpExc As SmtpException
                'log errors
                lblMessage.Text = SmtpExc.Message
            Catch ex As Exception
                'log errors
                lblMessage.Text = ex.Message
            End Try

In IIS:
I have changed my default smtp virtual server, Access --> Relay-->IP address to "127.0.0.1" as well.

I have used this code in my shopping cart project - contact us Form. It's working fine but i have noticed a minor problem. In my hotmail inbox, it's always show the email's From address to my gmail address. I'm wondering how do i show the email's address and name entered by the sender at my hotmail From address.

Hope someone can help me solve the problem. Thanks in advanced.
