    Hi Praveen,

    The value of Address has to set, This is the reason you are getting a null value exception here,you have to replace _mailto and _mail from with the email ID's and make sure that you have cofigured your SMTP host name .

    MailMessage msgMail = new MailMessage();
    msgMail.From="from e-mail";//give the from email ID here
    msgMail.To="to e-mail";//Give the To email ID here
    msgMail.Subject="Message Subject";
    msgMail.Body="Message Body";

    Another way of doing the same is

    System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer="SMTP Host Address";
    System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send("from","To","Subject","MessageText");

    Have a nice Day!

    Hi praveen ,

    The code looks all fine try and check the following things

    Put a Breakpoint and Check whether you are getting the values of "_mailto" and "_mailDisplayname" from Configuration file if not change the appsettings and add the EmailTo and EmailFrom in appsettings within configurations

    e.g..

     <appSettings>
        <add key="EmailTo" value=" Toemailaddress"/>
        <add key="EmailFrom" value="FromEmailaddress"/>
      </appSettings>

    Hi Praveen

    Try the following............

     mailMSG.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII;
            mailMSG.IsBodyHtml = true;
            mailMSG.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
            SmtpClient myMail = new SmtpClient("-------------");//Change accordingly
            myMail.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            
       myMail.Host = "localhost"; //Change accordingly
       //myMail.SmtpServer="--------";//Change accordingly
            myMail.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
            //myMail.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;
            myMail.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
            myMail.Send(mailMSG);

    I am using same.. and it works fine for me.
