in book "beginning aspnet 4.5" it shows how to send an email from the contact form to your email and in another section how to get an e mail when something bad happens with your site that shows you the errors.

what if you want these email addresses to be different.
I don't remember where exactly in the webconfig file you have to set the e mail address that receives the email from the contact form and where you set the e mail address to send you the errors of your website....

can they be different?
please help

Hi there,

Here's what you would need to do:

1. Add new keys to the <appSettings> element in web.config for the e-mail addresses and names you want to support.

2. To AppConfiguration.cs / vb add properties to wrap the config values just like the existing ones.

3. In the code that sends the various e-mails, pick the appropriate property from the AppConfiguration class.

Hope this helps,

Imar
