[RESOLVED] How do I create a paragraph in an e-mail?

Hello everybody.

I have created a program that sends an e-mail but the body of my e-mail always creates one line of messages. For example, if I want to write Dear Tommy on the first paragraph and Dear Jhonny on the next. I can't seem to create paragraphs.

You can add a carriage return and a line feed inbetween your text.

VB Code:

MessageBox.Show("Dear Tommy" & ControlChars.CrLf & "Dear Jhonny")

:eek2: Runtime alert! ControlChars.CrLf? Environment.NewLine. :)

ControlChars is part of MS VB Namespace. You have said and provn that its the same thing but just not viewed as .NET code. :D

Anyways, lets not get into another looooog thread about MSVB Namespace. :D

Hmmm.... It didn't worked. There is defininitely something wrong with my code. Here have a look see.

VB Code:

'Week 2
Imports System.Web.Mail
 
Public Class WebForm1
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
 
#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "
 
    'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
    <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
 
    End Sub
    Protected WithEvents Label1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label
    Protected WithEvents Label2 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label
    Protected WithEvents Button1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
    Protected WithEvents TextBox1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
 
    'NOTE: The following placeholder declaration is required by the Web Form Designer.
    'Do not delete or move it.
    Private designerPlaceholderDeclaration As System.Object
 
    Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
        'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
        'Do not modify it using the code editor.
        InitializeComponent()
    End Sub
 
#End Region
 
    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'Put user code to initialize the page here
        Label1.Text = "Thomas"
        Label2.Text = "[email protected]"
        Button1.Text = "Submit"
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim AutoEmail As New MailMessage
        AutoEmail.To = Label2.Text
        AutoEmail.From = "[email protected]"
        AutoEmail.Subject = "Test subject from VB.NET"
        AutoEmail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
        AutoEmail.Body = "Ian" & ControlChars.CrLf & "Paul"
        AutoEmail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport", "25")
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200)
        SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "192.168.11.11"
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200)
        SmtpMail.Send(AutoEmail)
    End Sub
End Class

Did you try Johns "Environment.NewLine" or any othe variations

Hmmm.... Environment.NewLine does not work also. Can you give me more, what you call variations because I am a newbie at VB.NET.

The problem is when I open my e-mail at Yahoo the body of the e-mail says "Ian Paul" instead of "Ian <next line> Paul".

You've set your mail format as HTML so perhaps you need to use HTML tags. Try using <p> or <br> tags.
