    MailAddress from = new MailAddress("ben@contoso.com");
    MailAddress to = new MailAddress("Jane@contoso.com");
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
    message.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
    message.Body = @"Using this feature, you can send an email message from an application very easily.";
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
    Console.WriteLine("Sending an email message to {0} by using SMTP host {1} port {2}.",
         to.ToString(), client.Host, client.Port);

    try
    {
        client.Send(message);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateTestMessage4(): {0}",
            ex.ToString());
    }
}

Remarks

The To property is used to designate the addresses on the To line of an email message. To add a recipient to an email message, create a MailAddress for the recipient's address, and then add that object to the collection returned by this property.
