Send an email from ASP.NET Page
Hi,
I want to send email thru a website application I am developing. I need the code for this, and would like to know how to place SMTP host name, email-id, and password in the code from where the mail must go.
Thanks.

Apart from the solution suggested by binaryevo, I would like to add one more thing.
Encrypt your <appSettings> section of Web.Config for better security.

Agreed with gery128, security is of utmost importance.

Your code must be fine, but its giving me some errors. Let me tell you I am quite new to ASP.NET, which is why also I need help. So please tell me why am I getting these errors, attached.

1) Your button, BtCheckMail doesnt have an event associated with the button click. Open up
design view of your webform and double click the button to resolve this. It will take you to codebehind where the event will be created.
2) Add the following to the top of the class in the using statements section:

Sorry but I still find the errors appearing. I am attaching the code and the errors, plus I have also opened the event on Button, but if I try to use Send over there, it does not accept. Yes I've yet not added the SMTP link, which I can only try once my code is error free.
Thanks.
