Howdy, here is my problem. I have a form on my site that when filled out, emails the response to me. I configured it so that the Label underneath confirms to the user the request was submitted. WHat is missing is the form wiping itself clean. Below is the code behind (I am using c# by the way). What do I need to do for the form to reset?

        try
        {

            MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
            message.To.Add("emal addy here");
            message.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
            message.Subject = "Test Email";
            message.Body = "Name: " + FirstName.Text + " " + LastName.Text + "\r\n" + "Email: " + EmailAddress.Text + "\r\n" + "Phone: " + Phone.Text + "\r\n" + "Zip Code: " + ZipCode.Text + "\r\n" + "Plumbing Need: " + PlumbingNeed.Text;
            System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient oClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
            oClient.Send(message);


        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Response.Write("Send failure: " + ex.ToString());
        }

Any help would be appreciated.

Explicitly clear your controls:

e.g.
FirstName.Text = "";
LastName.Text = "";

Thumbs up for the Transformer reference. =]

Where do I drop that in the code? I assume after the 'catch'... Do I need to add a command before the FirstName, etc?

I have a better transformer ref on my IM - Optimus standing at a podium winning the presidential election. Heehee

You can place it anywhere after the construction of the Body for the email message just not in the catch{}, obvioulsy.

Great! That is working...thanks so much!

What about it resetting my DropDown and List Box (just added) to unselcted Items?

Do you really want to reset your controls? Or do you just want them to get out of the way with their current values?

You could also wrap them all in an asp:PlaceHolder control and then set that control's Visible property to False after you have sent the message. That way, you can hide them in one fell swoop.

I want to reset the controls. If I wanted to hide the form I'd shoot off to a thank you page or something. I want the reset controls with the Label underneath letting the user know their request was sent (I have that working just need the reset).

Same form, different question as I am working on it...do you know how to send all selected values from a listbox in the email that the form fires? It will send the first, but not the rest...Hmmmmmm

You can use the ListBox ClearSelection method to unselect all of the items in the list so:

listBox1.ClearSelection();

hth.
