Sending form data in email

[Guest]

Hello,
I want to send an email when the Insert button is clicked that includes data
entered on the form. I am using asp.net 2.0 and an insert template. I
receive the email OK, but there is no subject or body. Please help.

Here's my code:
Protected Sub InsertButton_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Dim message As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage()
Dim client = New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient()
Dim prb As New String(Request.Form("insertprb"))

message.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("(e-mail address removed)")
message.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("(e-mail address removed)"))
message.Subject = prb
message.Body = prb
message.IsBodyHtml = True
client.Send(message)
End Sub


Thank you for your time.

Try

Dim prb As String = insertprb.Text

I try that and I get this error:

Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'insertprb' is not declared.

Source Error:



Line 18: Dim client = New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient()
Line 19:
Line 20: Dim prb As String = insertprb.Text
Line 21:
Line 22: message.From = New
System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("(e-mail address removed)")


Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

- Show quoted text -

What's the ID of your TextBox Control?

<asp:TextBox ID="insertprb" ... ?

 

[Guest]

<asp:TextBox ID="Insertprb" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("powerRequestBy") %>'
Width="193px"></asp:TextBox>

 

[Guest]

<asp:TextBox ID="Insertprb" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("powerRequestBy") %>'
Width="193px"></asp:TextBox>

Then Dim prb As String = Insertprb.Text should give you a current text
value

 

[Guest]

So do you have any idea why I get that error? Thanks

Wait... I think I got it

Do you have that TextBox inside a data-bound control? Can I see the
code of the control?

Another question, why do you use the Init event (InsertButton_Init)?
It is fired when the button is initialized.

It is in the insert item template in a formview control. Here is the code
for this textbox:

<asp:TextBox ID="Insertprb" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("powerRequestBy")
%>' Width="193px"></asp:TextBox>

Did you want to see the code of the entire formview control?

What event should it be in? I wasn't sure.

Thanks so much for your time.

Ann,

If your textbox is inside a formview control, when the page display,
the id of the textbox will be altered.
For example, I have a textbox id="txt_category". When I load this page
and view the source code, I see the id of the textbox as
"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_GridView1_ctl02_txt_category". This is
because my form is inside a master page and the textbox is inside a
gridview (GridView1). One way to access the textbox value is with the
FindControl method.

Here is part of the code that I used to get the value from my textbox
within a gridview control:

protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender,
GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
//holding the new valud before existing update mode.
TextBox txt_category =
(TextBox)GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[1].FindControl("txt_category");
hf_new_category.Value = txt_category.Text;
}

This method use the gridview rowupdating event to look for the textbox
"txt_category" and saved the new value into a hidden field.

You should be able to apply the same logic to the formview control
textbox.

Hi Nesster13, do you happen to have VB example of this code?

Thank you so much!
