hi string mailBool = false; is not necessary to use. Its a condition only you can check true or false. If you dont want to send mai mail then you need to use this condition. the value of mailbool comes from web.com. you can use only as SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient(); smtpClient.Host = localhost; smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);

Try this: System.Web.Mail.MailMessage objMsgSub = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage(); objMsgSub.From = txtEmailfrom.Text.ToString();; objMsgSub.To = txtEmail1.Text.ToString(); objMsgSub.Subject = Your subject; objMsgSub.Body = strHTML;//I defined my body of the mail inside strHTML objMsgSub.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html; System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(objMsgSub);

hi thanks for the replay (I do prefer to send without outlook) but i don't get a few things in your code.. 1) why do you define mailBool? why do you need it? 2) why isn't it a bool type? i actually familiar with that code but i wasn't sure.. will the localhost work? and if so why would you ever send from other server..?

Hi use this method to send mail. First off all add these namespace. using System.Text; using System.Net.Mail; Now write this method and call it on button click event. private void SendMail() { MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage (); MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress ( fromEmailId@any.something ); mailMessage.From = fromAddress; mailMessage.To.Add( toEmailId@any.something ); mailMessage.Subject = Subject ; StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder (); stringBuilder.Append( Hello ); stringBuilder.Append( '
' ); stringBuilder.Append( How are you? ); stringBuilder.Append( '
' ); mailMessage.Body = stringBuilder.ToString(); string mailBool = false ; SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient (); if (mailBool == false ) smtpClient.Host = localhost ; try { smtpClient.Send(mailMessage); } catch ( Exception ex) { string err = ex.Message; } }
