use this :
Dim objMail As System.Web.Mail.MailMessage = New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage


objMail.To = "[e-mail]"

objMail.From = "[e-mail]"
objMail.Subject = "hi"

objMail.Body = "fdbsfdsfv"
objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("SMTP")

SmtpMail.Send(objMail)




And also add a key named "SMTP" in your web config and give it value of your server e.g.

<add key="SMTP" value="192.168.0"/>

Use mail message like this:
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg .To = txtTo.Text;
msg .From =txtFrom.Text;
msg .Subject =txtsub.Text;
msg .Body = txtMsg.Text;
msg .BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html;

There are many Errors like Web.Mail is obsolete....Plz can u Explain me what i have to use to send mail in asp.net C#...

[alamodgal]

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg .To = txtTo.Text;
msg .From =txtFrom.Text;
msg .Subject =txtsub.Text;
msg .Body = txtMsg.Text;

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["SMTP"].ToString();
SmtpMail.Send(msg);


Add SMTP key in your web config like this in <appsettings> tag
<appsettings>
<add key="SMTP" value="localhost"/>
</appsettings>

And add
using System.Web.Mail instead of using System.Net.Mail;

You cannot send mail from localhost smtp server to online mail ids like yahoo, gmail....... For this you have to change your smtp value from localhost to your online server value
