Answer 1

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage message=new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(
                new MailAddress(EmailUsername), new MailAddress("toemailaddress"));

message.Subject = "Message Subject";   // E.g: My New Email
message.Body = "Message Body";         // E.g: This is my new email ... Kind Regards, Me

For the SMTP part, you can also use SmtpClient:

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(ServerIP);
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(EmailUsername, EmailPassword);
client.Send(message);

You can use the SmtpClient class and call Send (or SendAsync) with a MailMessage instance. Both these classes are in the System.Net.Mail namespace.

SmtpClient's default constructor uses the configuration from your app/web.config, but you can use other constructors to specify the SMTP settings you want.

// using System.Net.Mail;

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

MailMessage mm = new MailMessage()
{
    Subject = "Subject here",
    Body = "Body here"
};

mm.To.Add("[email protected]");
mm.From = new MailMessage("[email protected]");

client.Send(mm);
