Sending mails through C#.net

Question

Hi everyone,

There is a code snippet for sending mail via c#.net application....It requires the header file System.Web.Mail...

All I wanted to know is that - is installation of iis a pre requisite for using this particular feature? please lemme know ... Any help would be appreciated... The code is sumthing like this:

 System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(); 

     

         System.Net.NetworkCredential cred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "password");

         mail.To.Add("[email protected]");

          mail.Subject = "Reminder";

          

             mail.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("[email protected]", "def");

             mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

             mail.Body = "This is a system generated mesage";

            System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");

             smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;

             smtp.EnableSsl = true;

             smtp.Credentials = cred; 

              smtp.Send(mail);

thanx again
