Why page not launching

Hello

My 'forgotten password' page does not send any email to the user which would otherwise contain a link to reset the password. When the link is clicked, a new page, newPassword.aspx, should be displayed for the user to reset the password.

I am trying to identify why the email is not being sent. In my code, I have this:

VB.NET: 
If recordExists Then

            Dim builder As New UriBuilder(Request.Url)
            builder.Path = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/newPassword.aspx")
            builder.Query = "uniqueCode=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(uniqueCode)

            Dim link As String = builder.Uri.ToString()
            Dim myMessage As New MailMessage
            Dim Smtpserver As New SmtpClient


The file, newPassword.aspx in this code is taking a tilde, and I wonder if that is correct when both forgot.aspx and newPassword.aspx appear together (not in their own separate folders) in Solution Explorer:

It may be that I am barking up the wrong tree completely but as I say, I am attempting to identify the source of why the forgot.aspx page is not sending the email or launching newPassword.aspx.

Thanks.

Sorry for not posting the rest of the code:

VB.NET: 
Dim link As String = builder.Uri.ToString()            Dim myMessage As New MailMessage
            Dim Smtpserver As New SmtpClient
            Dim strEmailValue As String = Request.Form("strEmailTextBox") 'strEmailValue = user email; strEmailTextBox = ID of email field


            'Create the mail message


            myMessage.From = New MailAddress("info@mysite.net") 'Webmaster's email
            myMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(strEmailValue)) 'user's email
            myMessage.Subject = ("Password Reset Request")
            'myMessage.Body = "Please click on the following link to reset your password: <br/>Link<br/><br/>Thank you<br/>"


            myMessage.Body = ""
            myMessage.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure
            myMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
            myMessage.Priority = MailPriority.Normal


            Dim PlainMessage As AlternateView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString("Hello. To reset your password, please click on this link", Nothing, "text/plain")
            Dim mimeType As ContentType = New ContentType("text/html")
            Dim HtmlMessage As AlternateView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString("<img src=cid:dimaHeader><br /><br /><br ><body style='font-family:candara; color:#ffffff; background-color:#858585; margin-left:2em;'>Hello " & strEmailValue & "<br /><br /> To reset your password, please click on this <a href='http://www.dimadayoub.net/newPassword.aspx?token=" & uniqueCode & "' style='color: #0000FF; text-decoration: none;'>link</a><br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />Regards<br /></br />Dima<br /><br ><a href='http://www.dimadayoub.net' target='_blank' style='color: #0000FF; text-decoration: none;'>http://www.dimadayoub.net</a></body>", Nothing, "text/html")


            Dim Logo As New LinkedResource(Server.MapPath("~/Images/dimaHeader.jpg"), "image/jpeg") 'embedded image
            Logo.ContentId = "dimaHeader"
            HtmlMessage.LinkedResources.Add(Logo)


            myMessage.AlternateViews.Add(PlainMessage)
            myMessage.AlternateViews.Add(HtmlMessage)


            Smtpserver.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network
            Smtpserver.Host = ("mail.server")
            Smtpserver.Port = 25
            Smtpserver.EnableSsl = False
            Dim basicAuthenticationInfo As New System.Net.NetworkCredential("info@mysite.net", "pwd")
            Smtpserver.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo
            Smtpserver.Send(myMessage)


            myMessage.Dispose()
            myMessage = Nothing
            Smtpserver = Nothing


            End Sub

After confirming that the user exists in the database, the above should send an HTML-based email to the user that contains this link:

VB.NET: 
<a href='http://www.dimadayoub.net/newPassword.aspx?token=" & uniqueCode & "' style='color: #0000FF; text-decoration: none;'>link</a>

On clicking that link, the user should be directed to newPassword.aspx - that's my understanding, anyway.

Thanks again.
