well u can do this in two ways
first include
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;
and then


System.Net.Mail.MailMessage objMailMessage = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
            System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient objSmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
            MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("mailAddress");
            objMailMessage.To.Add(System.Configuration.Configu rationManager.AppSettings["MailTo"]);
            objMailMessage.From = fromAddress;
            Literal ltMail=(Literal)MailParser1.FindControl("ltMail");

            objMailMessage.Subject = "Foo";

            objMailMessage.IsBodyHtml=true;
            objMailMessage.Body = "Body Part";
            objSmtpClient.Host = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSetti ngs["ServerName"]; ;
            objSmtpClient.Send(objMailMessage);


and make entry in web.config
 <appSettings>
