Sending an email via Contact form?

I am new to ASP.Net and am wondering what is the best way to send a formatted email where I can hide my email address to avoid spammers. The way I'm thinking is have a form where data is entered and then have the user click a "Submit" button or something similar and then hide the email address in a variable within the aspx.vb code. How close or how far away am I on this idea?

Thanks,

Wrong section of the forum: this one is for ASP (which sometimes has "Classic" appended to differentiate it). ASP.Net is over here.
