Send HTML mail from ASP.NET Page

[richardrekos]

I cannot figure out how to send messages in HTML format. My code is below, do I need something else besides objMail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html?

Thanks, Rich


<script language="vb" runat="server">

Sub sendmessage_Click(sender as Object, e as EventArgs)


Dim objMail as New MailMessage()

objMail.To = Email.Text
objMail.From = "richard.rekos@questionmark.com"
objMail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html

objMail.Subject = "Subject.Text"

objMail.Body = body.text
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"

SmtpMail.Send(objMail)
message.Text = "Your Email was sent successfully"

End Sub

</script>

Try specifying a server that you know is capable of sending mail. (Check your Outlook settings, for example).

Thank you for your reply. "localhost" is a valid mail server. I have sent several test messages successfully, but the messages are sent in plain text.

You haven't specified the type of problem you are having.
And where is the difference between your text mail and your html mail code?

Hi, the problem is that emails sent via this page are not being sent formatted in HTML, they are formatted as text messages. As far as I know, the only difference should be in one line:

To send in HTML:
objMail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html

To send in Text:
objMail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text

I have specified HTML in my code, but to no avail.
