There are a couple of approaches. You can have code in your ASP.Net site that when a user does something it sends an email.

The other approach is to write a windows service that is constantly looking at a database table to see what needs to be processed and then have it send the emails and your ASP.Net app will write events to that table.

To send emails there are tons of example online using the System.Net.Mail namespace and SMTPClient class.

That is a good example. It is from older version of Visual Studio but you should still be able to follow it. Or, there are many examples online if you search for c# windows service.

sir, i need to send automatic email for web applications..
if i have used windows services means, is it possible to use that for web applications?

Yes. A web application does not do anything until someones requests a page. It then serves them the page and then stops. Therefore, you can't really use a web app to run code on a regular interval. The web app will write data to a table in a database and your windows service will then read from that same table. Or, you put all your code into the web app and it only sends email as things actually happen.
