Why do I get “'property cannot be assigned” when sending an SMTP email?

Question

I can\'t understand why this code is not working. I get an error saying property can not be assigned

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient client          


        

Answer 1

This :

mail.To = "user@hotmail.com";

Should be:

mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("user@hotmail.com"));
