Form in C#/Sharepoint

Question

I am trying to create a form in Sharepoint using C#. I don't know C# that well and that is where my error is occurring. I want the information to be emailed to the address on submission. Here is the code I have for my tizagEmailForm.html...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled 2</title>
</head>

<body>

<form method="POST" action="tizagEmail.aspx">
To <input type="text" name="To"/> <br />
From <input type="text" name="From"/> <br />
Subject <input type="text" name="Subject"/> <br />
Body <textarea name="Body" rows="5" cols="20" wrap="physical" > 
</textarea>
<input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

And here is the code I have for my tizagEmail.aspx...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<%@ Page Language="C#" 

'Sends an email
Dim mail
Set mail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
mail.To = Request.Form("To")
mail.From = Request.Form("From")
mail.Subject = Request.Form("Subject")
mail.TextBody = Request.Form("Body")
mail.Send()
Response.Write("Mail Sent!")
'Destroy the mail object!
Set mail = nothing

%>
<html dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">
<meta name="WebPartPageExpansion" content="full" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled 2</title>
</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">
</form>

</body>
</html>

If someone could help me I would very much appreciate it.

Live long and prosper.

the way you are trying to achieve your requirement seems odd. When working with SharePoint, we use to build webpart, infopath forms or simple application page. Why did you create both an html page and a aspx page, disconnected from the whole SharePoint framework (no master page, etc...) ? — Steve B

I think I just have the syntax in my C# page messed up, but I can't figure out how. — John Doe

I think the best way to achieve what you want to do is to use a WebPart.
You should look at this tutorial about how to create a contact Form Web Part for SharePoint.

It looks like you've told the page to use C#, but Dim is a VB keyword. So it looks like you've mixed up your languages.

You also seem to have mixed up Classic ASP and ASP.NET.

Classic ASP uses VB, ASP.NET uses C# and VB.NET. Classis and .NET are very different.
