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

[tommygrayson]

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.

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

Runtime alert! ControlChars.CrLf? Environment.NewLine.

[RobDog888]

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

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

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

'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

[tommygrayson]

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".

[jmcilhinney]

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