You have to use the namespace System.Net.Mail

In the button click write this below code to send email

using System;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Net.Mail;

private void BtnSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");

mail.From = new MailAddress("your_email_address@gmail.com");

mail.To.Add(Txt3.Text);

mail.Subject = "Test Mail";

mail.Body = "UserId "+ Txt1.Text + " Password-" + Txt2.Text;

SmtpServer.Port = 587;

SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");

SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;

SmtpServer.Send(mail);

MessageBox.Show("mail Send");

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());

}

} Try this a nd let me know.

The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required.

protected void btnSent_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  string toEmailAddress = TextBox3.Text;
  string GmailId = "abc@gmail.com"; //YOUR GMAIL USERNAME
  string password = "";             //YOUR GMAIL PASSWORD 
  string bodyMsg = "UserName=" + TextBox1.Text + "<Br> Password=" + TextBox2.Text;
 
  MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
  mail.To.Add(toEmailAddress);
 
  mail.From = new MailAddress(GmailId);
  mail.Subject = txtSubject.Text;
  mail.Body = bodyMsg;
  mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
   
  SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
  smtp.EnableSsl = true;

thank u dipa, its working now!

but i gave my email id along with password, what if anyone hack it ?? is it secured ?? if so, can i encrypt it and use it ?

dipa ahuja replied to kiran Kumar on 14-Nov-11 06:15 AM

Your Welcome!

Yes its secure, no one can hack it.

But if you make it more secure then put the account detail inside the web.config

try this way:

Step 1 : Add this in Web.config

<system.net>

<smtp>

<network host="smtp.gmail.com"

port="587"

userName=""

password=""

</smtp>

</mailSettings>

</system.net>

Step 2 : Mail Sending Code

protected void btnSent_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string toEmailAddress = "xx@gmail.com";

string GmailId = "abc@gmail.com";

string bodyMsg = "helo its testing mail";

string subject = "testing mail";

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

mail.To.Add(toEmailAddress);

mail.From = new MailAddress(GmailId);

mail.Subject = subject;

mail.Body = bodyMsg;

mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

smtp.EnableSsl = true;

smtp.Send(mail);

}

Step 1 : Add Namespace

using System.Net;

using System.Net.Mail;

Step 2 :Write code

protected void btnSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

MailMessage message = new MailMessage();

client.Port = 587;

client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";

client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(txtemail.Text ,txtpass.Text );

client.EnableSsl = true;

try

{

MailAddress SendTo = new MailAddress(txtTo.Text);

MailAddress SendFrom = new MailAddress(txtFrom.Text);

message = new MailMessage(SendFrom, SendTo);

message.Body = txtMessage.Text;

message.Subject = txtSub.Text;

client.Send(message);

txtStatus.Text = "Your email has been sent";

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

txtStatus.Text = ex.ToString();

}
