I am trying to send as an html page an email on Page_Load after all the dynamic controls are rendered. It works and I get sent the email... but its hundreds of them. It's somehow looping through the sendEmail() function and I don't know why. If I add a button to the page and send the email in its on_click event it works and only sends 1 email. I'm not sure what the problem is?
Here is the code I'm just going to copy and paste the whole thing in:
