[wassssup]

i want to send an email using asp.net in c# below is the code:
the error that i get in the browser:"The transport failed to connect to the server."

       MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
        mail.To = toTxt.Text;
        mail.From = fromTxt.Text;
        mail.Subject = subjectTxt.Text;
        mail.Body = bodyTxt.Text;
        try
        {
            SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.gmail.com";
                        //i even put localhost but doesnt work
            SmtpMail.Send(mail);
        }
        catch (System.Web.HttpException ex)
        {
             Response.Write(ex.Message);
        }

when i change the port to 25 from vs2005 under the properties, it couldent even display the page

please advise, thanks in advance.

try smtp.Port = 25; (pop 110), this is usual but it could be different. One of my private mail has customer smtp port. Find out from your mail provider .
