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

Initialize the MailMessage with sender and reciever's email addresses. It should be something like

string from = "codeforwin@gmail.com";  //Senders email   
string to = "reciever@gmail.com";  //Receiver's email  
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(from, to);
