 //Hope you find it useful, it contain too many things

    string smtpAddress = "smtp.xyz.com";
    int portNumber = 587;
    bool enableSSL = true;
    string m_userName = "support@xyz.com";
    string m_UserpassWord = "56436578";

    public void SendEmail(Customer _customers)
    {
        string emailID = gghdgfh@gmail.com;
        string userName = DemoUser;

        string emailFrom = "qwerty@gmail.com";
        string password = "qwerty";
        string emailTo = emailID;

        // Here you can put subject of the mail
        string subject = "Registration";
        // Body of the mail
        string body = "
";
        body += "
Aspen Reporting Tool
";
        body += "
";
        body += "Dear " + userName + ",";
        body += "
";
        body += "
";
        body += "Thank you for registering 
";            
        body += "
Click HereTo finalize the registration process
";
        body += " 
";
        body += "Thanks,";
        body += "
";
        body += "The Team";
        body += "
";
       // this is done using  using System.Net.Mail; & using System.Net; 
        using (MailMessage mail = new MailMessage())
        {
            mail.From = new MailAddress(emailFrom);
            mail.To.Add(emailTo);
            mail.Subject = subject;
            mail.Body = body;
            mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
            // Can set to false, if you are sending pure text.

            using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(smtpAddress, portNumber))
            {
                smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(emailFrom, password);
                smtp.EnableSsl = enableSSL;
                smtp.Send(mail);
            }
        }
    }
