How to send an email ?

[Parwej Ahamad]

Where you are providing the SMTP Server name in Web.config file ? IF Yes then examine like this: <system.net> <mailsettings> <smtp from="test@par.com"> <network host="172.0.0.1 OR localhost" port="25" username="" password="" defaultcredentials="true" /> </smtp> </mailsettings> </system.net> OR try external SMTP Server of Gmail

System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient email = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
email.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
email.Port = 465 ;

Below given code are working fine on my machine. Note: Which I have mark as bold provide there your gmail id and password.

MailMessage MyMailMessage=new MailMessage();
MyMailMessage.From = new MailAddress("g.parwez@gmail.com");
MyMailMessage.To.Add("g.parwez@gmail.com");
MyMailMessage.Subject = "Parwej Testing !!!";
MyMailMessage.Body = "This is the test text for Parwej Ahamad";
SmtpClient SMTPServer=new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
SMTPServer.Port = 587;
SMTPServer.Credentials =new System.Net.NetworkCredential("yourgmaid", "yourgmailpassword");
SMTPServer.EnableSsl = true;
SMTPServer.Send(MyMailMessage);

After that you can check your attachment code.
