Why do I get “'property cannot be assigned” when sending an SMTP email?

Question

I can\'t understand why this code is not working. I get an error saying property can not be assigned

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient client          


        

Answer 1

Finally got working :)

using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Text;

...

// Command line argument must the the SMTP host.
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 587;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Timeout = 10000;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user@gmail.com","password");

MailMessage mm = new MailMessage("donotreply@domain.com", "sendtomyemail@domain.co.uk", "test", "test");
mm.BodyEncoding = UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
mm.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;

client.Send(mm);

sorry about poor spelling before
