via which type of mail protocol? there are several options.

Here you go.

// create mail message object
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = ""; // put the from address here
mail.To = ""; // put to address here
mail.Subject = ""; // put subject here
mail.Body = ""; // put body of email here
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = ""; // put smtp server you will use here
// and then send the mail
SmtpMail.Send(mail);

SmtpMail.Send(mail);

i don't believe you can assign the .To property of the MailMessage class directly to a string value.

if i recall correctly it has to either be passed to the constructor of the MailMessage when it is instantiated, or added using the .Add() method.

e.g.:

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add(recip);

also, the .From and .ReplyTo properties are of the type MailAddress. i don't believe they can be assigned to a string either. probably depends on the version of the framework you're in, but in the last few implementations i have done, i have used the MailAddress class. you could probably also use a cast.

e.g.:

MailAddress mailAddress = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.From = mailAddress;
mail.ReplyTo = mailAddress;
