SPAM-LOW: [thelist] ASP.NET: testing an object for a value

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

Hi Tom,

   FYI, that's VB.NET, not VBScript (aside from syntax, the two are very dissimilar).

   Are you thinking of the RequiredFieldValidator?  If so, you could use one like this:

<ASP:RequiredFieldValidator
  ControlToValidate="txtEmail"
  Display="Static"
  ErrorMessage="Required"
  runat=server />

Cheers,

Peter

Hello again,

Still working on my form and have a question. I'm picking off the user's e-mail address from the
form like so (VB Script):

Dim objMM as New MailMessage()
objMM.From = txtEmail.Text

However,this is not required. But if they don't fill it in I get an error since the mail object (I
think) requires a sender.

How can I test objMM.From to see if it is blank, and if not supply a no-reply email like
(no-replay at somewhere.com) so the email fires off?

Also, I thought I saw somewhere there was a simple way to require fields in ASP.Net...

Thanks

Tom
