Once the user clicks submit, I'd like to display a confirmation that the email has been sent.

[aj31]

Hi there,

I have a feedback form on my contact.aspx page which includes: full name, email address, phone #, subject (a drop-down list with 3 options), and the comments fields. When the user enters data and clicks submit, it's currently sending me their email address and the comments only.

1) I would also like to receive their name, phone# and the subject. Here's my VBcode:
Imports System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient

Partial Class contact
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(ByVal source As Object, ByVal args As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs) Handles CustomValidator1.ServerValidate
If txtComments.Text.Length > 5000 Then
args.IsValid = False
Else
args.IsValid = True

End If
End Sub

Protected Sub Wizard1_FinishButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.WizardNavigationEventArg s) Handles Wizard1.FinishButtonClick
SendMail(txtName.Text, txtEmail.Text, txtComments.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub SendMail(ByVal name As String, ByVal from As String, ByVal body As String)

Dim mailServerName As String = "smtp.MyDomain.com"
Dim message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(from, "myEmail@MyDomain.com", "feedback", body)
Dim mailClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient

mailClient.Host = mailServerName
mailClient.Send(message)
message.Dispose()



End Sub

End Class

2) Once the user clicks submit, I'd like to display a confirmation that the email has been sent. How do I do this? Thanks in advance.AJ

You need to include the name and phone # in the message body itself.
So, the third parameter in your method SendMail(txtName.Text, txtEmail.Text, txtComments.Text</font>) needs ,the name and phone # appended to it.

For the confirmation part of it.You can have a js function in the such as follows:

validate()
{
var EmailStatus= document.getElementById('stat');
alert(EmailStatus.value);
if(StatusTable.value == '1')
{
Alert('Your Email has been sent')
}
}
where stat is a hidden field on your form ,which you set it when the form is submitted successfully and have something like [b]

or simply have a label and populate the text from code behind.

Hi Vikram,

I really appreciate your help; unfortunately, you're helping a dud... At any rate, I've tried other things which are incorrect. To include the name, phone#, and subject in the email, I tried 2 things:

1)


Private Sub SendMail(ByVal name As String, ByVal phone As String, ByVal from As String, ByVal body As String)
Dim feedbackinfo As String = name + phone + body
Dim mailServerName As String = "smtp.MyDomain.com"
Dim message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(from, "MyEmail@MyDomain.com", "feedback", feedbackinfo)
Dim mailClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient


and..................................


2) Private Sub SendMail(ByVal name As String, ByVal phone As String, ByVal from As String, ByVal subject As String,ByVal body As String)
Dim mailServerName As String = "smtp.MyDomain.com"
Dim message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(from, "MyEmail@MyDomain.com", "feedback", name, phone, subject, body)
Dim mailClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient





No luck whatsoever.


As for the confirmation msg, like I said, I'm a dud...a newbie if you will. I put the following between <asp:Content ID...> and <span style>:





<script type="text/javascript">
validate()
{
var EmailStatus= document.getElementById("stat");
alert(EmailStatus.value);
if(StatusTable.value == '1')
{
Alert("Your Email has been sent")
}
}
where stat is a hidden field on your form ,which you set it when the form is submitted successfully and have something like [b]
</script>








But I'm not getting any luck with what I'm trying to accomplish. Where can I put this js? Thanks again.

See : http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10443

Replace body by Dim body As String = name + phone + body_part

To keep things simple,for the confirmation,have a label on your page .After the mail is sent,set the label text to what ever you want.

See: http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/control_label.asp to know how to do that.

For the js part,I see you added the comment 'where stat is a hidden field on your form ... within the script tags. i guess it was my mistake in my previous post...Sorry about that.That was just a comment.

Hi Vikram,

Once again I appreciate your patience with me...but I'm really starting to lose my hair over this. I already took care of the confirmation msg...thanks for that. But I'm still only getting the email address and comments in my email. Here's my VB script:

Imports System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient


Partial Class contact3
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page


Protected Sub submitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submitButton.Click
SendMail(txtName.Text, txtEmail.Text, txtPhone.Text, txtComments.Text)
txtName.Text = ''
txtEmail.Text = ''
txtComments.Text = ''
txtPhone.Text = ''
txtSubject.Text = ''
End Sub


Private Sub SendMail(ByVal name As String, ByVal phone As String, ByVal from As String, ByVal body As String)

Dim body As String = name + phone + body_part
Dim mailServerName As String = 'smtp.MyDomain.com'
Dim message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(from, 'Me@MyDomain.com', 'feedback', body)
Dim mailClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient
mailClient.Host = mailServerName
mailClient.Send(message)
message.Dispose()



End Sub



End Class
</font>

I'm about to remove the drop-down menu for the subject to make things simpler, but this is what I'm getting:


Compiler Error Message: BC30734: 'body' is already declared as a parameter of this method.

Source Error:

Line 18: Private Sub SendMail(ByVal name As String, ByVal phone As String, ByVal from As String, ByVal body As String)
Line 19:
Line 20: Dim body As String = name + phone + body_part
Line 21: Dim mailServerName As String = 'smtp.MyDomain.com'
Line 22: Dim message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(from, 'Me@MyDomain.com', 'feedback', body)

</font>



Pls help Vikram. Thanks again.

Hi AJ,
If you want an Ajax Contact form, with validation, like this: http://www.sdknuts.net/contact/
Send me a note with a valid e-mail address and I'll send you my code.
