Cannot implicitly convert type ('string', 'string') to System.Net.ICredentialsByHost

Question

So i tried making an email sender and give my account info and this error showed up:

Cannot implicitly convert type ('string', 'string') to System.Net.ICredentialsByHost.

This is the code.

SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smpt.gmail.com", 587);

SmtpServer.Credentials = ("username", "password"); # The email and password were lighted up with red
MailMessage Mail = new MailMessage();
Mail.From = new MailAddress("from");

I changed the email and password for obvious reasons.

Answer 1

You are trying to convert a ValueTuple to ICredentialsByHost. Need to construct a new NetworkCredential instance and set it in SmtpServer:

NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");  
SmtpServer.Credentials = credentials;
