Welcome,

To send an email, you may use the Mail API - System.Net.Mail namespace classes - especially SmtpClient, MailMessage and MailAddress.

I suggest you to read the forum rules (Member rules) before you post anything.

If you don't read the links, which have far more extensive information than a post here would contain, what makes you think that someone posting the code here will help any more?

Anyway, consider the following and see if it helps. It's basically the bare minimum for sending an email through SMTP:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            SendEmail(
                "smtp.live.com",          // Hotmail's SMTP server
                "[e-mail]", // Note: Bogus login information
                "imapassword",
                true,                     // SSL required for Hotmail
                "[e-mail]", // Bogus sender
                "[e-mail]",            // Bogus recipient
                "Test Email",
                "This is a test email.");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
        }
    }

    public static void SendEmail(
        string server, string userName, string password, bool useSSL, // Server info
        string sender, string recipient, string subject, string body, // Message info
        int timeout = 30)
    {
        using (var mail = new MailMessage())
        {
            var smtp = new SmtpClient(server);

            smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
            smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password);
            smtp.EnableSsl = useSSL;
            smtp.Timeout = 1000 * timeout;

            mail.From = new MailAddress(sender);
            mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(recipient));
            mail.Subject = subject;
            mail.Body = body;

            smtp.Send(mail);
        }
    }
}
