How do I get the SMTP email address from web.config?

I've tried:
MailSettingsSectionGroup mailConfig = 
WebConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.net/mailSettings") as 
MailSettingsSectionGroup;

and:
	Configuration configurationFile = 
WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/Web.Config");
	MailSettingsSectionGroup mailConfig;
	if (configurationFile != null)
		mailConfig = configurationFile.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings") 
as MailSettingsSectionGroup;

The first method returns null and the second returns an object but it does 
not have the host or from properties set.

RE: How do I get the SMTP email address from web.config?

Hi,
First write below code in web.config  </system.web> and before 
</configuration>:
<system.net >
    <mailSettings >
    <smtp from="who@myhost.com">
      <network host="mail.myhost.net" userName="xxxxx" password="xxxx"/>
    </smtp>
  </mailSettings>
    </system.net >

Then try this code:
Configuration configurationFile = 
WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~\\Web.config");
        MailSettingsSectionGroup mailSettings = 
configurationFile.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings") as 
MailSettingsSectionGroup;
        if (mailSettings != null)
        {    
            int port = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Port;    
            string host = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Host;  
            string password = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Password;    
            string username = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.UserName;

            lblHost.Text = host;
            lblUserName.Text = username;
            lblPassword.Text = password;
        }
Also include following namespaces:
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web.Configuration;
using System.Net.Configuration;
-- 
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards.
