papimann · March 5th, 2011, 05:18 AM

i have develop a website with email sending capabilty on the basis of one contact form it is sending the email but the information written in the text box is not being fetched out by it

Code:

      
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Name##", Name.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Email##", EmailAddress.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##HomePhone##", PhoneHome.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##BusinessPhone##", PhoneBusiness.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Comments##", Comments.Text);

it is not taking anything in Name.text which is a textbox.

Hi there,

And how does your mail template look?

did not get you here is the full code

Code:

 string fileName = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/ContactForm.txt");
        string mailBody = File.ReadAllText(fileName);

        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Name##", Name.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Email##", EmailAddress.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##HomePhone##", PhoneHome.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##BusinessPhone##", PhoneBusiness.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Comments##", Comments.Text);

        MailMessage mymessage = new MailMessage();
        mymessage.Subject = "Response from web site";
        mymessage.Body = mailBody;

        mymessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Sender Name");
        mymessage.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Receivers Name"));

        SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
        mySmtpClient.Send(mymessage);
        mySmtpClient.EnableSsl = true;

        Message.Visible = true;
        FormTable.Visible = false;

Hi there,

A user has left the following feedback at the site:

Name: ##Name##
Email Address: ##Email##
Home Phone: ##HomePhone##
Business Phone: ##BusinessPhone##
Comments: ##Comments##
this is the template

Looks fine to me, so this should work. Maybe Name gets reset somewhere? Also, make sure that ##Name## etc is exactly the same in the template and in your code, including captilization and spaces.

If this doesn't help, you need to post more code and explain your situation in more detail.

Cheers,

I am sorry, but I am not a mind reader, If you want help, you really need to provide better information. For example:

Where is this code used? In a page or in a User Control? Can you provide the code for both?
What happens when you debug the code? Do you see the controls and do they have a value?
When / how / where exactly do you execute the code that sends the e-mail?
And so on and so forth...

Cheers,
