Exception Details: System.FormatException: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.
Source Error:
Line 150: msg.From = new MailAddress("khaledaparveen11@gmail.com");
Line 151:
Line 152: msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("txtEmail.Text"));
Line 153:
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("txtEmail.Text"));
is the problem. txtEmail.Text is not an e-mail address. If that's a text file that's a list of e-mails, you're going to need to open it and read it and pass them in one by one.
If it's referring to a textbox, take the quotes around it off. Like this:
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(txtEmail.Text));share|improve this answer

For me, the problem was using semi-colon(;) to seperate multiple emails. Once I change it to comma(,) it works. Hope this helps someone. share|improve this answer

This was the issue for me, thank you. – Andrew Uricchio May 2 at 16:01 up vote 2 down vote
The issue on the code above might have occured due to
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("txtEmail.Text"));
You might be clear that here "txtEmail.Text" appears as a string but not the mailing address to whom the mail is to be send. So code should be replaced with
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(txtEmail.Text));
and sometimes the error like "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address" might also occur due to use of improper string.As even I faced it.
Basically I was working in email sending task using the ASP.Net. The main issue for me was sending mail to multiple users. Firstly, I retrieved the email address from database and used " ; " so as to separate the multiple email addresses. Because while sending the email to multiple users, in regular basis we use semicolon i.e. " ;"
Everything seemed ok but after compilation I got the error "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address".
After a bit analysis, I came to know that instead of using the " ; " we should use " , " so as to separate multiple email address while sending mails . This is the formatted string for separating the emails.

Hmm, let me see, is it possible that "txtEmail.Text" is not a valid email address? I'm just guessing here, but you might want to remove the quotes from around that to get the actual value in your control... share|improve this answer
both the sender and recipient address need to be a valid email address format. eg. user@domain.com share|improve this answer

I had a problem where I was creating the message with the recipient and the sender already in it, but it returned the following error:
The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address
The problematic code was as follows:
MailMessage objMsg = new MailMessage(regEmail.Text.ToString(), "me@mysite.com");
I fixed the issue by replacing that code with this:
MailMessage objMsg = new MailMessage(); objMsg.From = new MailAddress(regEmail.Text.ToString()); objMsg.To.Add(new MailAddress("me@mysite.com"));
It is also helpful to use a regular expression validator in your user control to make sure the address is valid, you can use the following code for asp:
