Hi Please try this code below

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
 string footer = "If you have any questions about appointment cancelation,please do not hesitate to call your clinic front desk";
            string subject = "Appointment Canceled";
            string body = "Hi" + " " + "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"));//sending to my nmmu live account
            message.Subject = subject;
            message.Body = body;

            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
            client.Credentials = new    System.Net.NetworkCredential("account@gmail.com", "password");

            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);

Solution 2

Basically, you have two using statements in the same code file which refer to different assemblies:

C#

using System.Web.Mail;

and

C#

using System.Net.Mail;

And both assemblies contain the same name: MailPriority. The system cannot tell which one you mean, so you have two alternatives:
1) Get rid of one of the using statements.
2) Explicitly specify which you mean by prefixing MailPriority by the full reference name.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\free-photo-background-952-m.jpg'. File name: 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\free-photo-background-952-m.jpg' at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share) at System.Net.Mail.AttachmentBase.SetContentFromFile(String fileName, String mediaType) at System.Net.Mail.AttachmentBase..ctor(String fileName) at System.Net.Mail.Attachment..ctor(String fileName) at customerdetails.SendEmail(String toAddress, String ccAddress, String bccAddress, String subject, String body, MailPriority priority, Boolean isHtml) in e:\E-mobileshop\admin\customerdetails.aspx.cs:line 275

The error message is pretty explicit:
Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\free-photo-background-952-m.jpg'
This normally means the file does not exist...have you checked?
