How to Create The Contact/feedback Web part in SharePoint 2010

Contact Feedback Webpart in Sharepoint 2010

This article will show, step-by-step, how to create simple visual web part that implements a contact feedback form. A contact feedback form is typically used on a public website to provide a way for customers, business partners, and others outside the company to submit questions or request information by filling out fields on a web page and clicking a Submit button. This web part will collect the user’s name, email address, and message, and send the information to an email address when the user clicks Submit.

The web part created in this article will use Sharepoint 2010. To create the web part, we will be using Visual Studio 2010 installed on Windows Server 2008.

Design the Webpart:

Add the following code in your webpart(Design Mode)

<style type="text/css">

    span.required
