[pskvenkat]

Hello,
This is venkat,
I was trying to send the email using the following codes but error occurs everytime can you fix this.

using System.Data;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Net.Mail;

    MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
        mail.To = ToTextBox.Text;
        mail.From=FromTextBox.Text;
        mail.CC=CcTextBox.Text;
        mail.Subject=SubTextBox.Text;
        mail.Body=MsgTextBox.Text;
        System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient SmtpServer = "localhost";
        SmtpServer.Send(mail);

is this correct format? pls send if any correct coding for that? also what are the things should declare in the top?

The Port No is not specified to send the email.
It can be done by

SmtpServer.Port = <PortNo>;

System.Net.Mail .SmtpClient SmtpServer = "localhost" ;

since you are creating a SmtpClient object you have to create a new one

i.e.
System.Net.Mail .SmtpClient SmtpServer = new System.Net.Mail .SmtpClient("19 2.168.0.1");
its better to send an ip address to it.
i havent tested it using localhost. (im not sure of that), and yes you may also have to specify the port if it is not on the default smtp port which i thing is 25

Can you tel how can i find the smtp server port number?

It probably is 25. The real problem was your incorrect "constructo r" calling of the SmtpClient class
