Re: contact form email question

clearing the form is a simple mater of doing

txtUserName.text = string.empty;

in your processing function for all fields to clear.

You can have a function to send the email and have it retrun a boolean value with pass fail to determine to show a success message.

Take a look at this for sending email

Re: contact form email question

for #1 you on your button click, after the submission if finished just set all textbox values equal to "" That will make them all blank, then after all that happens show a div that has "Email Sent" that is initially hidden with divname.style("display") = "block" or do label.Text = "Email Sent" if you want to use a blank label.

#2 You can send an email in code behind with this (VB.NET)

'Send Email confirming Receipt.
                Dim objMM As New MailMessage()

                'Set the properties - send the email to the person who filled out the feedback form.
                objMM.To.Add(New MailAddress(SenderEmail))
                objMM.Bcc.Add(New MailAddress("aa@bb.com"))
                objMM.From = New MailAddress("aa@bb.com")

                'Send the email in text format
                objMM.IsBodyHtml = True

                'Set the subject
                objMM.Subject = "Email Subject"

                'Set the body
                objMM.Body = "Thank you for submitting. This email is to confirm that everything has been received"
                objMM.Priority = MailPriority.Normal

                'Specify to use the default Smtp Server
                Dim mSmtpClient As New SmtpClient
                mSmtpClient.Host = "someip"
                mSmtpClient.Send(objMM)

TY Very much!!!! can you send that code in c#?

Re: contact form email question

I dont have it in C# but using a converter it came up with this (May not be 100% accurate)

MailMessage objMM = new MailMessage();

	//Set the properties - send the email to the person who filled out the feedback form.
	objMM.To.Add(new MailAddress(SenderEmail));
	objMM.Bcc.Add(new MailAddress("aa@bb.com"));
	objMM.From = new MailAddress("aa@bb.com");

	//Send the email in text format
	objMM.IsBodyHtml = true;

	//Set the subject
	objMM.Subject = "Email Subject";

	//Set the body
	objMM.Body = "Thank you for submitting. This email is to confirm that everything has been received";
	objMM.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;

	//Specify to use the default Smtp Server
	SmtpClient mSmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
	mSmtpClient.Host = "someip";
	mSmtpClient.Send(objMM);
