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

Just need to try this:

string smtpAddress = "smtp.gmail.com";
int portNumber = 587;
bool enableSSL = true;
string emailFrom = "companyemail";
string password = "password";
string emailTo = "Your email";
string subject = "Hello!";
string body = "Hello, Mr.";
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress(emailFrom);
mail.To.Add(emailTo);
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(smtpAddress, portNumber))
{
   smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(emailFrom, password);
   smtp.EnableSsl = enableSSL;
   smtp.Send(mail);
}
