Answer 1

Use enableSsl="true", like this:

 <mailSettings>
  <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="amrit.enest@gmail.com">
    <network enableSsl="true" host="smtp.gmail.com" port="25" userName="amrit.enest@gmail.com" password="sending emails's password" />
  </smtp>
</mailSettings>

Answer 2

The server requires SSL, so you need to add this to your config:

<mailSettings>
  <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="amrit.enest@gmail.com">
    <network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="25" userName="amrit.enest@gmail.com" 
        password="sending emails's password" enableSsl="true" />
  </smtp>
</mailSettings>

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
    MailAddress from = new MailAddress("your mail address@mail.com");
    SmtpClient clientobj = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
    mail.From = from;
    mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(" to mail address@gmail.com"));
    mail.Subject = "example gridview";
    mail.Body+="Please check below data <br/><br/>";
    mail.Body += getgridviewdata(gv1);
    mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
    clientobj.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("your mailaddress@gmail.com", "your email password");
    clientobj.Port =587;
    clientobj.EnableSsl = true;
  clientobj.Send(mail);


}

in the above gv1 is my gridview id

public string getgridviewdata(GridView gv)
{
    StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    StringWriter strWriter = new StringWriter(strBuilder);
    HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(strWriter);
    gv.RenderControl(htw);
    return strBuilder.ToString();
}
public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control)
{
    /* Verifies that the control is rendered */
}

you write the following also in source code

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="example.aspx.cs" Inherits="example" EnableEventValidation="false" %>
