C#

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.To = txtto.Text;
msg.From = "swarupa.ummalaneni@gmail.com";
msg.Subject = txtsubject .Text;
msg.Body = Output.InnerHtml;

lblmessage.Text = "Sending...";
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.yourISP.com";
SmtpMail.Send(msg);
lblmessage.Text = "Sent email (" + txtsubject.Text + ") to " + txtto.Text;

In above code SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.yourISP.com"; in place of "smtp.yourISP.com" what should I write here? Can anybody help me?

Hi
You have to put your host name or IP Address of server from where message are allow to fire.
for example if you are using the gmail smtp server then you can use

SmtpMail.SmtpServer="smtp.gmail.com"

Still if you have any query let me know.

Thanks,

Wow. If you don't know how to set up a mail server, why are you writing code. We can't answer this, because the answer is, your smtp server, as it says. Perhaps you should do a course instead of copying random code off the web ?

Try the following settings.

SmtpServer ="smtp.gmail.com"
port="587"
userName="<<your username on gmail>>"
password="<<your password>>"
enableSsl="true"

You need the name of your smtp server. It's usually in the form "smtp.yourispname.com", like "smtp.sbcglobal.net", or "smtp.roadrunner.com". You can get this info from your ISP's email help web page.

Wow - I am more grumpy than you. Is that an achievement ?
