SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("from@gmail.com", "From Me");
MailAddress toAddress = new MailAddress("to@gmail.com", "To You");
message.From = fromAddress;
message.To.Add(toAddress);
message.Subject = "Testing!";
message.Body = "This is the body of a sample message";
smtpClient.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");

smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;


smtpClient.Port = 587;
   
smtpClient.Send(message);

Hi,

You did not specified Smtpclient name in your SmtpClient() object.
Just add this line above the declaration of new SmtpClient(); object.

String server= "smtp.gmail.com";

and pass the string parameter to smtpclient object like this :
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient(server);

instead of "SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();"

this will work.. :)
