All you have to do is to use System.Net.Mail namespace.

Default.aspx.cs:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Net.Mail;
 
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 
{
        protected void btSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		// Instantiate a new instance of MailMessage
		MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();
		// Set the sender address of the mail message (it should be some of your mailboxes)
		mailMessage.From = new MailAddress("FromMailbox@mailbox.com");
		// Set the recepient address of the mail message
		mailMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress("ToMailbox.jura@mailbox.com"));
		mailMessage.Subject = "E-mail from: " + tbUserName.Text;
		// Set the body of the mail message
		mailMessage.Body = tbBody.Text;
		// Instantiate a new instance of SmtpClient
		SmtpClient smptClient = new SmtpClient("SmtpClientNameOrIP");
		// Send the mail message
		smptClient.Send(mailMessage);
	}
}
 
Defualt.aspx:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
		<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Username:"></asp:Label>
		<br />
		<asp:TextBox ID="tbUserName" runat="server" Width="200px"></asp:TextBox>
		<br />

I get this error message by compiling the code you first sent!!!

Error 1 'ASP.default_aspx' does not contain a definition for 'btSend_Click' C:\Documents and Settings\Micosoft User\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\WebSite6\Default.aspx 52

This is only an example. In order to use it, you have to add a button. Then create Onclick command for your button, and copy the code from my btSend_Click method into the method that will be created. In examples code there are usually bindings to different methods. So you have to use examples in a smart way. I can't write all for you. But after some time of coding you will become familiar with all of these.
