Hi,

I am using following code to send mail but my mailBody contains the string value which comes from database. It gives some error like "Convertion String "value" to Double".

Please help me out.

            Message = "<HTML><BODY>" _
                & "Dear Sir,<BR>" _
                & "<BR>" _
                & "Visitor want to meet you<BR>" _
                & "<B>Visitor Name: </B>" & +EmployeetoMeet.ToString() + +"<BR>" _
                & "<B>Visitor Contact No: </B>" & +EmpMobileNo.ToString() + "<BR>" _

                & "</BODY></HTML>"


            Dim SmtpClient As New SmtpClient()
            SmtpClient.Host = Smtp
            SmtpClient.Port = PortNo

            Dim Mail As New MailMessage
            Dim mailAdd As New MailAddress(MailAdress)

            Mail.From = mailAdd
            Mail.To.Add(EmpmailAddress)
            Mail.Subject = Subject
            Mail.Body = Message
            Mail.IsBodyHtml = True
            Mail.Priority = MailPriority.Normal

            SmtpClient.EnableSsl = True

            SmtpClient.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential(MailAdress, Password)
            SmtpClient.Send(Mail)

            MessageBox.Show(" Your message has been sent successfully  !", "Done", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)

Try out this

XML

Subject = "Visitor Appointment"
           Message = "<HTML><BODY>" _
               & "Dear Sir,<BR>" _
               & "<BR>" _
               & "Visitor want to meet you<BR>" _
               & "<B>Visitor Name: </B>" & EmployeetoMeet.ToString() & "<BR>" _
               & "<B>Visitor Contact No: </B>" & EmpMobileNo.ToString() & "<BR>" _
               & "<BR>" _
               & "Thanks & Regards,<BR>" _
               & "iSpirit Tech<BR>" _
               & "</BODY></HTML>"

You are writing code in VB, so for concatenation string you should use & and NOT +
Hope it helps.

I'm guessing it's this bit of code:

& "<B>Visitor Name: </B>" & +EmployeetoMeet.ToString() + +"<BR>" _                & "<B>Visitor Contact No: </B>" & +EmpMobileNo.ToString() + "<BR>" _

Sometimes you are using & to concat but you have a bunch of + signs in there....it's probably trying to convert the string to a double because it thinks you want to perform a mathematical addition. Get rid of the + signs before EmployeetoMeet.ToString() and convert the + signs after into a single &.
