Retrieve form info via email 1

[piratefan]

Does anyone have a link to an example of a simple form submittal that sends the data to an email address? I can't seem to find anything with searches or the texts I have.
Thanks.

Try this link:

You can use Request.Form to send the entire form

I am having a problem still. It is sending emails with no data. I am using :
objMail.Body = Request.Form("MainForm&quot
where MainForm is the id of my form. Trying to get the entire form sent. Any ideas here appreciated.
Thanks.

I know for a fact you can loop through the form collection and send it that way.

I am trying to use CDONTS to accomplish this. I want to be able to send the entire form without doing any kind of looping if possible.

The following code was given to me by my host :

<%
Set myMail = CreateObject(&quot;CDONTS.NewMail&quot;) 
myMail.From = &quot;test@test.com&quot; 
myMail.To = &quot;test@test.com&quot; 
myMail.Subject = &quot;Test Subject&quot;
myMail.BodyFormat = 0 
myMail.MailFormat = 0 
myMail.Body = HTML 
myMail.Send 
%>

First of all, I don't know if that will(if working), deliver the entire form. I get a runtime error using the Set... says it is no longer supported. Also, HTML is coming up not declared. And I see no Set myMail = Nothing which I assume would be rejected since Set is not supported.
Any ideas much appreciated. I am redesigning a site for a friend. His original site, the programmer used php and somehow didn't have to do any loops to capture the entire form. I'm lucky I can get by with asp.net.
Thanks.

You're right, the code you have is for ASP, not ASP.NET. Do you have to use CDO to send your email. Can you not use the System.Web.Mail to do it?

Sub Button1_Click(sender as Object, e as System.EventArgs)
		Dim objMail As New MailMessage()
		objMail.From = "info@mydomain.com"
		objMail.To = "info@domain.com"
		objMail.Subject = "Life Insurance Quote"
		objMail.Body = RequestForm(?????)
		objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.HTML
		SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.wisetracking.com"
		SmtpMail.Send(objMail)
	
End Sub

I am close using the System.Web.Mail. If for example I put objMail.Body="Name", I will get the name entry in my form. ("Name" is id for that text box). But I can't figure out how to get the entire form. I have tried using the http.etc address for that page. Would like to be able to get the entire form the most efficient way.
Thanks for all the help Brian.

I understand your request. Let me check on something.

You can do this, but it's not pretty. You might want to just get the Enumerator of the Form object and get each key this way.

objMail.Body = Request.Form.ToString

Thanks I think I got it. Knock on wood. My head suffices.

What did you end up doing?

The problem with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.

Request.Form it's obsolete ... was used in normal ASP. In ASP.NET you should use asp controls.

In your HTML code:
<asp:textbox id=txtMessage runat=server>
<asp:button id=btnSend runat=server text=&quot;Send&quot; onClick=&quot;btnSend_Click&quot;>
Within your script tags:
sub btnSend_Click(sender as Object, e as Eventargs)
dim objMail as MailMessage = new MailMessage
        objMail.From = &quot;info@mydomain.com&quot;
        objMail.To = &quot;info@domain.com&quot;
        objMail.Subject = &quot;Life Insurance Quote&quot;
        objMail.Body = txtMessage.Text
        objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.HTML
        SmtpMail.SmtpServer = &quot;mail.wisetracking.com&quot;
        SmtpMail.Send(objMail)
end sub

If you use Framework 1.1, you could use authorised login:

objMail.Fields("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate")[/URL] = 1
objMail.Fields("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")[/URL] = "login_name"
objMail.Fields("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword")[/URL] = "login_password"

login_name and login_password corresponds to your smtp server authentication.
