First, I really appreciate the time and help!
Regarding the debug vs. browser view, I always hit F5 to go into a debug session - that's why I'm so confused about it not providing debugging....
Here's the Contact.aspx.cs code I'm now using:
Code:
protected void txtSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// try
// {
// send the mail
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.IsBodyHtml = false;
msg.From = new MailAddress(txtEmail.Text, txtName.Text);
TextBox1.Text = "From="+msg.From.ToString() + "\n";
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(Globals.Settings.ContactForm.MailTo));
TextBox1.Text += "To="+msg.To.ToString() + "\n";
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Globals.Settings.ContactForm.MailCC))
msg.CC.Add(new MailAddress(Globals.Settings.ContactForm.MailCC));
msg.Subject = "Subject="+string.Format(Globals.Settings.ContactForm.MailSubject, txtSubject.Text);
TextBox1.Text += "Body="+msg.Subject.ToString() + "\n";
msg.Body = txtBody.Text;
TextBox1.Text += msg.Body.ToString();
// new SmtpClient().Send(msg);
TextBox1.Text = "From="+msg.From.ToString() + "\n" + "To="+msg.To.ToString() + "\n" +
"Subject="+msg.Subject.ToString() + "\n" + "Body="+msg.Body.ToString();
// show a confirmation message, and reset the fields
lblFeedbackOK.Visible = true;
lblFeedbackKO.Visible = false;
txtName.Text = "";
txtEmail.Text = "";
txtSubject.Text = "";
txtBody.Text = "";
// }
// catch (Exception)
// {
// lblFeedbackOK.Visible = false;
// lblFeedbackKO.Visible = true;
// }
}
I created a TextBox1 field on the Contact page for it to display as I go. I commented out the try/catch so I'd get something when it bombed.
Here's the error info from the page when I execute:
Code:

Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input
value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an
attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting
attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page
directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your
application explicitly check all inputs in this case.

The info I seem to get for each "field" is:
From="Mike Latzky" <
[email protected]>
[email protected]
Subject=Subject=Mail from Latzky.com: Test Message
Body=ddqdqdqd
The Sender field appears to be null/empty, not sure if it should be.... This is all from my local Vista PC which has no smtp server running on it, so getting a message send failure makes sense. On the hosted site, the Error.aspx page takes over of course, so I don't get valid info there. I could of course modify web.config to see the result, and should just so I know what is really happening up there.
The inability to debug is a serious problem, and the uncertainty of what needs to e in each of the message fields to make a successful email go is also a problem for me.
