        message.To.Add(txtemail.Text.Trim()); 
        message.Subject = "UG Admission 2009";
        message.Body = mailBody;
        message.IsBodyHtml=true;

        //Setup SmtpClient to send email. Uses web.config settings.
        System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtpClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();

        try
        {
            smtpClient.Send(message);

hi
please use this code

public bool SendMail()
    {
        try
        {
            string sPortNumber = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PortNumber"];//25 useport number  25
            System.Web.Mail.MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
            msg.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html;
            //System.Web.Mail.MailAttachment atchment = new MailAttachment("abc");

            msg.To = to;    //email;
            msg.Cc = Cc;
            msg.From = from;
            msg.Subject = subject;
            msg.Body = message;
            msg.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport", sPortNumber); 
            int j;
            if (m_attachments.Count > 0)
            {
                foreach (string strAttachment in m_attachments)
                {
                    System.Web.Mail.MailAttachment atchment = new MailAttachment(strAttachment);
                    msg.Attachments.Add(atchment);
                }
            }
            SmtpMail.SmtpServer = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SMTPServerName"].ToString();//Smtp Mail Server Name
