Use mail message like this:
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg .To = txtTo.Text;
msg .From =txtFrom.Text;
msg .Subject =txtsub.Text;
msg .Body = txtMsg.Text;
msg .BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail .MailFormat.Htm l;

There are many Errors like Web.Mail is obsolete....Plz can u Explain me what i have to use to send mail in asp.net C#...

[alamodgal]

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg .To = txtTo.Text;
msg .From =txtFrom.Text;
msg .Subject =txtsub.Text;
msg .Body = txtMsg.Text;

SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs["SMTP"].ToString();
SmtpMail.Send(m sg);


Add SMTP key in your web config like this in <appsettings> tag
<appsettings>
<add key="SMTP" value="localhos t"/>
</appsettings>

And add
using System.Web.Mail instead of using System.Net.Mail ;

You cannot send mail from localhost smtp server to online mail ids like yahoo, gmail....... For this you have to change your smtp value from localhost to your online server value
