please post your code. Are you getting error messages?

Just check the namespace imported, "System.Web.Mail" namespace in ASP.NET 1.x is now "System.Net.Mail" namespace in ASP.NET 2.0......

Here is an example that I wrote earlier in C# to send e-mails from Gmail accounts, I think that will be useful for someone :

// Using directivesusing System;using System.Net;// System.Net.Mail for SmtpClient and MailMessageusing System.Net.Mail;namespace gmailSender{ public class GmailSenderClass {		public static void Main(string[] args)		{			  try			  {					 // parameters for MailMessage are, FROM:, TO:, Subject: and Body:					 MailMessage message_ = new					 MailMessage("Example@gmail.com", "Example@hotmail.com", "Hi this is subject", 					 "Hi this is body");					 // This is to send text e-mails					message_.IsBodyHtml = false;					// parameters for NetworkCredential is username and password 					NetworkCredential mailAuthentication= new					NetworkCredential("Example@gmail.com", "YourPassword");					 // SmtpClient parameters are: host and port (you can see I have used the gmail ones)					SmtpClient smtp_ = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);					// We don't want to use default credentials because we wrote ours above					smtp_.UseDefaultCredentials = false;					// Gmail requires SSL to be enabled so we set it to true					smtp_.EnableSsl = true;					// We pass the credentials that we have created to SmtpClient object					smtp_.Credentials = mailAuthentication;					// We happily send our message :D					smtp_.Send(message_);			  }	 			  catch(Exception e)			  {					Console.WriteLine("Message: {0}", e.Message + Environment.NewLine);			  }		}   }}
