Hi All, I am trying to send an email from my app. Here is some of my code:

VB

dynamic mail = null;
                    //--------Send Message-----------------------
                 
                //    mail = Interaction.CreateObject("CDO.Message");
                    mail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message");
                    mail.Subject = "Password set to expire";
                    mail.From = "fromAddress";
                
                  //  mail.To = Session("uemail");
              //      mail.To = HttpContext.Current.Session["uemail"];
                    mail.To = "toAddress";
               //     mail.TextBody = mtext;
                    mail.TextBody = "Hello World";
                    mail.Send();
                    mail = null;

This was in VB and I converted it online. Intellisense does not recognize the word "Interaction". I tried Server and Intellisense gave me some options. When I get to mail.Send(); I am getting error "The SendUsing configuration value is invalid." Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I do not have much experience with C#. I am trying to test by hardcoding the to and from addresses.

Thank-you,

Hi
I am sending an email using gmailaccount here.

C#

using System.Net.Mail;

 private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
 string footer = "If you have any questions about appointment";
            string subject = "Appointment Canceled";
            string body = "Hi" + " " + "sent from google" + "\n\n" + footer;

            MailMessage message = new MailMessage();

            message.From = new MailAddress("Ngqandu.Anele@gmail.com");
            message.To.Add(new MailAddress("Anele.Ngqandu@live.nmmu.ac.za"));
            message.Subject = subject;
            message.Body = body;

            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
            client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("Ngqandu.Anele@gmail.com", "myGMAILpassword");

            client.Port = 587;
            client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
            client.EnableSsl = true;
            try
            {
                client.Send(message);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
        }
