I want to send an email from my application and i have written following code for sending mail
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.From = new MailAddress("mymailid");
msg.To.Add("receipientid");
msg.Subject = "test";
msg.Body = "Test Content";
msg.Priority = MailPriority.High;
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("mymailid", "mypassword", "smtp.gmail.com");
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.Port = 587;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
client.Send(msg);
I am running it on localhost so what mistake i am doing to send it.
When i send button it gives an error like
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required.
Code in Web.config file
<appSettings>
<add key="webpages:Version" value="2.0.0.0" />
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
<add key="PreserveLoginUrl" value="true" />

<network host="smtp.gmail.com" password="mypassword" port="587" userName="sender@gmail.com" enableSsl="true"/>

You can reffer it in Sending mail
If it's a new google account, you have to send an email (the first one) through the regular user interface. After that you can use your application/robot to send messages.
You should consider to specify SMTP configuration data in config file and do not overwrite them in a code - see SMTP configuration data at http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/4.1.aspx
