You will need:
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
It will provide you with the means to send emails. I suggest looking it up to see what tools it offers you and how to use them.

Since you'll likely have to provide email credentials in order to use the email services you will probably also need.
System.Net.NetworkCredential

There are Many posts here on the script covering how to send an email. There is also a lot of information out there on the internet that provide you with good examples to get you started. But since you're new to the language I'll point you in the right direction.

Since you are developing a .NET application it will need to run on a web server that uses IIS. This web server does not need to be running a mail server in order for you to send emails....it just needs to be running .NET Framework 2.0

Please look at the information provided on MSDN concerning System.net.mail for more information and some examples on how to send an email.

Try using the System.Net.Mail objects to send an email and if you have a specific question about a problem feel free to post about it.

Cheers
