You need to set the SmtpClient.Credentials property:

smtpClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredentials("yourUserName", "yourPassword");

This is what is used to authenticate in order to send the message. You may also need to ensure that SSL is enabled:

smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;

It seems that you are trying to send an email using GMail, which requires SSL.
See this Google reference post.

So in your web.config, enable SSL this way:

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="network">
        <network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" enableSsl="true" userName="YOURUSERNAME" password="YOURPASSWORD" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

Alternatively, you can set it programmatically this way:

smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;

I think you forgot to set EnableSSL property to true which is required for gmail.

Here is the sample code:

protected void btnSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {              
        MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
        msg.From = new MailAddress(txtFrom.Text);                
        msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(txtTo.Text));
        msg.Subject = txtSubject.Text;
        msg.Body = txtBody.Text;                           

        SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
        System.Net.NetworkCredential myCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(txtFrom.Text,txtPwd.Text);
        mySmtpClient.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        mySmtpClient.Port=587;
        mySmtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
        mySmtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
        mySmtpClient.Credentials = myCredential;                

        mySmtpClient.Send(msg);
        msg.Dispose();
        lberr.Text="Message sent successfully";
        clrtxt();
    }
    catch(SmtpException)
    {
        lberr.Text="SMTP Error handled";
    }
}

public void SendMail()
{
    System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
    mail.To.Add(MailTo.Text);
    mail.From = new MailAddress(MailFrom.Text,"Invoice");
    mail.Subject = Subject.Text;
    mail.Body = Body.Text;
    mail.IsBodyHtml = true;



    string FileName = Path.GetFileName(FileUploadAttachments.PostedFile.FileName);
    Attachment attachment = new Attachment(FileUploadAttachments.PostedFile.InputStream ,FileName);
    mail.Attachments.Add(attachment);            

    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
    client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "Your_Email_Password");
    client.Host = "smtpout.secureserver.net";
    client.Port = 80;
    try
    {
        client.Send(mail);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}

Your answer does not work for Gmail and does not solve the error in the question.
