Sending an email from your ASP.NET web application

Introduction

In this tip, I will show you how to send mail from your ASP.NET web application.

Sending Email From Your Web Application

For sending mail, you will need to use these libraries:
C#
```
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net; 
```

Use this code to send mail:

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mm = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
	mm.To.Add(new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("Email Address","Name"));
	mm.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("Email Address");
	mm.Sender = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("Email Address","Name");
	mm.Subject = "This is Test Email";
	mm.Body = "<h3>This is Testing SMTP Mail Send By Me</h3>";
	mm.IsBodyHtml = true;
	mm.Priority = System.Net.Mail.MailPriority.High; // Set Priority to sending mail
	System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtCliend = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
	smtCliend.Host = "Your smtp server";
	smtCliend.Port = 25;    // SMTP port no            
	smtCliend.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("User Name", "Password");
	smtCliend.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
	try
	{
		smtCliend.Send(mm);
	}
	catch (System.Net.Mail.SmtpException ex)
	{
		lblMsg.Text = ex.ToString();
	}
	catch (Exception exe)
	{
		lblMsg.Text = "\n\n\n"+exe.ToString();
	}

The Namespace you written is syntax of VB and the rest of the code is in C#.
So will you please make it correct.
Here i am posting code in both of VB and C# please take a look

C#:

using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net;

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mm = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
mm.To.Add(new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("Email Address","Name"));
mm.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("Email Address");
mm.Sender = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("Email Address","Name");
mm.Subject = "This is Test Email";
mm.Body = "<h3>This is Testing SMTP Mail Send By Me</h3>";
mm.IsBodyHtml = true;
mm.Priority = System.Net.Mail.MailPriority.High; // Set Priority to sending mail
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtCliend = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
smtCliend.Host = "Your smtp server";
smtCliend.Port = 25;    // smtp port no            
smtCliend.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("User Name", "Password");
smtCliend.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
try
{
smtCliend.Send(mm);
}
catch (System.Net.Mail.SmtpException ex)
{
lblMsg.Text = ex.ToString();
}
catch (Exception exe)

lblMsg.Text = "\n\n\n"+exe.ToString();
}

VB:

Import System.Net.Mail;

Dim mm As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage()
mm.[To].Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("Email Address", "Name"))
mm.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("Email Address")

mm.Subject = "This is Test Email"
mm.Body = "<h3>This is Testing SMTP Mail Send By Me</h3>"
mm.IsBodyHtml = True
mm.Priority = System.Net.Mail.MailPriority.High
' Set Priority to sending mail
Dim smtCliend As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient()
smtCliend.Host = "Your smtp server"
smtCliend.Port = 25
' smtp port no            
smtCliend.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("User Name", "Password")
smtCliend.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network
Try
	smtCliend.Send(mm)
Catch ex As System.Net.Mail.SmtpException
	lblMsg.Text = ex.ToString()
Catch exe As Exception
	lblMsg.Text = vbLf & vbLf & vbLf + exe.ToString()
