Hello, If you want to send a simple text email in C# then you may need to use the code below. It will provide you all the related methods and also gives you all the details about it.

Code:

MailMessage email = new MailMessage();
mail.To = "<id of destination >";
mail.From = "<id of source>";
mail.Subject = "Testing";
mail.Body = "Continue";
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost";  
SmtpMail.Send( mail );

The following code works perfectly. You just need to change the SMTP client settings. I have tried it. It is working perfectly.

Code:

Using System.Net.Mail;
Using System.Net;
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      MailMessage mail;
      SmtpClient Smtp;

      Smtp = new SmtpClient("monserveursmtp.com", 25);
      Smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("<email_id>", "abcd12345");
      Mail = new MailMessage("<email_id>", "<email_id>", "cuckoo", "cuckoo");
      Smtp.Send(Mail);
      Mail.Dispose();
    }

Hello, it is needed to make use of the methods below for getting the solution:

Code:

smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

I am not having whole code for it. But, I have these methods which can help you to create your own code.

Hello, I have the code which will solve your problem also you will get more knowledge about the sending email in c#. You just need to make use of it, as it is.

Code:

Public string SendMail(StringBuilder content, string Subject, string MailTo, string MailFrom, string SMTPServer, int PortServer)
{
         string Back = string.Empty;
MailMessage msg = null;
Encoding Encoding = MyEncoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
            try
            {
                msg = new MailMessage(MailFrom, MailTo);
                msg.Body = Content.ToString();
                msg.BodyEncoding = MyEncoding;
                msg.IsBodyHtml = false;
                msg.Subject = Subject;
                SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(SMTPServer, PortServer);
                smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
                smtp.Send(msg);
                Back = "Mail sent to" + MailTo;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Back = "Error in Sendmail function - Details:" + Ex.ToString();
            }
            finally
            {
                msg = null;
                MyEncoding = null;
            }
            return Back;
        }

If you are making use of the vb.net then you need to make use of the code below which will simply send the email to the specified address.

Code:

Dim mail As New MailMessage()
mail.To = "<email_id>"
mail.From = "<email_id>"
mail.Subject = "Testing "
mail.Body = "Body"
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost" 
SmtpMail.Send(mail)

But, as you required to have the c#.net code you need to make use of the code below for the same.

Code:

MailMessage emailmessage = new MailMessage();
emailmessage.From = "";          
emailmessage.To = "";            
emailmessage.Subject = "";      
emailmessage.Body = "";           
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = ""; 
SmtpMail.Send(emailmessage);
