Hi,

In my website I am sending email from localhost.
If I specify the email address to whom(e.g.;someone@gmail.com) I want to send email it succeeds, but I would like to retreive the (var toAddress) value from the text box control.
If i do this it gives the error:
"The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address."

The code to send a email looks like this:

C#

var fromAddress = new MailAddress("myid@gmail.com", "sarwar");
var toAddress = new MailAddress("GetValueFrom The Textbox","name");// Here I would like to get value from the text box.

const string fromPassword = "password"; 
const string subject = "lokman";
const string body = "i have done it";

var smtp = new SmtpClient
           {
               Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
               Port = 587,
               EnableSsl = true,
               DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
               UseDefaultCredentials = false,
               Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword)
           };

using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
                     {
                         Subject = subject,
                         Body = body
                     })
try
{
    smtp.Send(message);
}

In what line? Anyway, this is not the proper question. You as a user supply wrong string. Write a right one :-)

           {

               string messegebody = "Dear Admin  " + "\n" + messege + "\n Thanks \n " + firstname + " " + lastname + " \n" + email;
               System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
               SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
               mail.From = new MailAddress("bizstallbevarage@gmail.com");
               mail.To.Add("dipcse08@gmail.com");
               mail.Subject = "Bizstall Bevarage & Food";
               mail.Body = messegebody;



               SmtpServer.Port = 587;
               SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("sender_email", "sender_password");
               SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
               SmtpServer.Send(mail);
           }
           catch (Exception ex)
           {
               string error = ex.ToString();
           }
       }

C#

var smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
   {
       smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
       smtp.Port = 587;
       smtp.EnableSsl = true;
       smtp.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
       smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress, fromPassword);
       smtp.Timeout = 20000;
   }
   // Passing values to smtp object
   smtp.Send(fromAddress, toAddress, subject, body);

Try this code, If its not working, let me know...

Assuming your users can type, all you have to do is execute the line:

C#

toAddress = new MailAddress(myTextbox.Text);

before you create the new MailMessage.

[edit]Typo - forgot to change fixed string to use textbox content.[/edit]

its not working, can you please edit my code...giving error like...specified addres is not in the required form

OriginalGriff 25-Dec-12 5:01am

"can you please edit my code"
Certainly!
Just wrap your computer up securely, and send it DHL or UPS to me, and I'll do what I can...

I think it will probably be quicker if you edit it yourself...:laugh:

Remember I can't see you code from here, so you have to think as well here - where is your textbox? What is it called? Where is your method? And what is in the textbox?
