Try this,

         string mailServer, mailFrom;
         int port;
         string mailId, mailPass;
         string subject;

         StringBuilder mailBody = new StringBuilder();

         subject = "subject";
         mailBody.Length = 0;
         mailBody.Append("<html><body><div>");
         mailBody.Append(txtName.Text);
         mailBody.Append("</div></body></html>");


        mailServer = "smtp.gmail.com";
        mailFrom = "something";
        mailId = "example@gmail.com";
        mailPass = "xxxxx";
        port = 587;
        MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(mailId, mailTo, subject, mailBody.ToString());
        mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
        SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(mailServer, port);
        System.Net.NetworkCredential nc = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(mailId, mailPass);
        smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
        smtp.Credentials = nc;
        smtp.EnableSsl = true;
        smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
        smtp.Send(mail);

Change the mailid, password and all with appropriate values.
