ASP.NET 2.0 has a built in class, System.Net.Mail, to send email. Although the legacy System.Web.Mail class is still available in ASP.NET 2.0, it is recommended that you use System.Net.Mail class to send mail if you are using ASP.NET 2.0 framework.
C# Code Sample
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" %>
<script language="C#" runat="server">
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress ( "postmaster@YourHostedDomain.com" );
mail.Subject = "This is a test message" ;
mail.Body = "If you can see this mail, your SMTP service is working" ;
mail.To.Add( "recipient@somewhere.com" );
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient( "smtp.YourHostedDomain.com" );
NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential ("postmaster@YourHostedDomain.com" , "password");
smtp.Credentials = credential;
smtp.Send(mail);
Response.Write( "Message was sent to " + mail.To + " at " + DateTime .Now);
}
</script>
