Hi harish_ravi ,

Visiting all above listed links you must have realised that sending email in asp.net is quite fun and useful too. In fact, a lot of customizations exist depending on your requirement. My suggestion is to do the basic email sending first. After that you can play with the classes and objects to perform more actions. Let me show you the basic email sending using c#.

1    using System.Net.Mail;
2   
3    public void SendBasicMail()
4        {
5            //create new mailmessage object
6            MailMessage message = new MailMessage(new MailAddress("sangam@test.com"), new MailAddress("anup@best.com"));
7            message.Body = "Hi. This is test message.";
8            message.Subject = "Test Message!";
9            message.IsBodyHtml = false;
10  
11           //create smtp client and send mail
12           SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("mail.mysmtpserver.com", 25);
13           try
14           {
15               client.Send(message);
16               lblError.Text = "Email sent successfully!";
17               lblError.ForeColor = Color.Green;
18           }
19           catch (Exception ex)
20           {
21               lblError.Text = "Email could not be sent. " + ex.Message;
22               lblError.ForeColor = Color.Red;
23           }
24       }

Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask if any problem persists or if further help is required. Thank you,

use the following method.....  this will use gmail smtp details to send an email.....

protected void sendMail()
    {
        string from = "me@gmail.com"; //Replace this with your own correct Gmail Address

        string to = "you@gmail.com"; //Replace this with the Email Address to whom you want to send the mail

        System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
        mail.To.Add(to);
        mail.From = new MailAddress(from, "One Ghost", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
        mail.Subject = "This is a test mail";
        mail.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
        mail.Body = "This is Email Body Text";
        mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
        mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
        mail.Priority = MailPriority.High;

        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
        //Add the Creddentials- use your own email id and password

        client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(from, "Password");

        client.Port = 587; // Gmail works on this port
        client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        client.EnableSsl = true; //Gmail works on Server Secured Layer
        try
        {
            client.Send(mail);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Exception ex2 = ex;
            string errorMessage = string.Empty;
            while (ex2 != null)
            {
                errorMessage += ex2.ToString();
                ex2 = ex2.InnerException;
            }
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(errorMessage);
        } // end try 
}
