    Mail.Body HTML syntax

    Hi,
    I am using the MailMessage method to send an email from a form and I have
    the following code giving me the following error on line 79:

    Compiler Error Message: CS1002: ; expected
    Source Error:

    Line 78: Mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html ;
    Line 79: string MailBody = "(<html><body>D ear " +
    usercredentials .Name + "<br><p><strong >Your sequence
    is</strong>:</p></body></html>");

    But this works fine:

    Line 78: Mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html ;
    Line 79: string MailBody = "<html><body>De ar " +
    usercredentials .Name;

    So is this:

    Mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text ;
    string MailBody = "Your sequence is:" + Order.BlockSequ ence;


    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks,
    Stephan.

      Stephan,

      You can't let string literals wrap across lines. Try this instead:

      Mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html ;
      string MailBody = "(<html><body>D ear " +
      usercredentials .Name + "<br><p><strong >Your sequence " +
      "is</strong>:</p></body></html>");

      HTH,
      Nicole
