Thank you in Advance

 

====================

If you're sending email through an SSL SMTP like GMail, then you have to set the SmtpClient.EnableSsl to True.  About the only way to do this is to override the email functionality of CreateUserWizard.  Use the SendingMail event method to define your MailMessage and SmtpClient and then use the Cancel property to prevent the CreateUserWizard from sending its automated email.
