What's wrong with this code?

Question

User1441073843 posted

Hi

 I have a wizard that a user fills out and the info they input in the text boxes get sent to me to work with (Requesting A user account on my website) but it doesn't work. The code is below:

Private Sub SendMail(ByVal from As String, ByVal body As String)

Dim mailServerName As String = "SMTP.jacobsaunders.cjb.in"
Dim message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(from, "[e-mail]", "User Account Request", body)
Dim mailClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient

mailClient.Host = mailServerName
mailClient.Send(message)
message.Dispose()

End Sub

It highlights "message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(from, "[e-mail]", "User Account Request", body)" and says "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address."

Can you please help me fix this?!

 Thanks

Jacob Saunders

I can't see anything wrong with the code.  Are you sure the 'from' string is an email address?
