Note that for the code below to work, you need to add using System.Net.Mail; to the list of ‘using’ directives at the top of your code file.

MailMessage mail = MailMessage();

mail.From = new MailAddress("username@greenwich.ac.uk");

mail.To.Add("username@greenwich.ac.uk");

mail.Body = "Your message here";

mail.Subject = "Your subject here";

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

client.Host = "smtp.gre.ac.uk";

client.Send(mail);

Using VB
