Hi,
i am trying to open my email program so the user can fill in the body.
The textbox txtMail holds the email adress to where the mail has to be sent. I can send it automatically but that's not what i want.
I have already tried with :

Sysem.Diagnostics.Process.start("mailto:" + txtMail.text)

Then i get an errormsg which says :
System.componentmodel.win32Exception. the system cannot find the file specified.

Is there something wrong with my coding or have i forgotten something ?

Whare are u using this code?
in aspx.vb file?

Where are u using this code?
Is it in aspx.vb file?

All you need is a standard A tag (or hyperlink control) in your markup:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Click to Email</a>

Demo: Click to Email

Yes, i know you can fulfill this with a hyperlink but i want it to be opend when i click a button.
For example : I want to open the email program when i click the button btnSend. This button gets the value from txtMail which holds the email adress.
I placed the code in my codebehind file, under the sub btnSend_click

You can't do this because ASP.NET is running on the server. You can't tell the client to do something with anything other than HTML and JavaScript.

You could do a Response.Redirect to the mailto address which would cause the browser to launch the client's email client:

Response.Redirect("mailto:[email protected]")

Thx, works fine !!!
