Sending email in .NET through Gmail

Question

AVADHESH PATEL · Answer

Hi Jayprakash!Be sure to use System.Net.Mail, not the deprecated System.Web.Mail. Doing SSL with System.Web.Mail is a gross mess of hacky extensions.using System.Net;using System.Net.Mail;var fromAddress = new MailAddress("from@gmail.com", "From Name");var toAddress = new MailAddress("to@example.com", "To Name");const string fromPassword = "fromPassword";const string subject = "Subject";const string body = "Body";var smtp = new SmtpClient { Host = "smtp.gmail.com", Port = 587, EnableSsl = true, DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network, UseDefaultCredentials = false, Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword) };using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress) { Subject = subject, Body = body }){ smtp.Send(message);}
