Solution 1

when you create MailMessage object the property "From" of MailMessage object is the actual from address where client see where the mail comes.

C#

string mailFrom = "test@gmail.com";
var mailMessage = new MailMessage
            {
                Subject = "subject",
                Body = "body",
                IsBodyHtml = true,    
                From = new MailAddress(mailFrom)
            };

var smtpClient = new SmtpClient
            {
                Host = Configuration.Current.Smtp.Host,
                Port = Configuration.Current.Smtp.Port,                
            };
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Configuration.Current.Smtp.UserId))
            {
                smtpClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Configuration.Current.Smtp.UserId, Configuration.Current.Smtp.Password);
            }
            mailClient.Send(message);

ok this is my code. but from address is info@dhuvara.com
try
{
MailMessage Msg = new MailMessage();
// Sender e-mail address.
Msg.From = new MailAddress(txtEmail.Text);
// Recipient e-mail address.
Msg.To.Add("info@chapatimakingmachine.org");
Msg.Subject = txtEmail.Text;

// string message = PopulateBody(txtName.Text,txtphone.Text,txtEmail.Text,txtMessage.Text);
Msg.Body = "<html><body><Table><tr><td>Name :</td><td>" + txtName.Text + "</td></tr><tr><td>Phone Number :</td><td>" + txtphone.Text + "</td></tr><tr><td>Email Addresss :</td><td>" + txtEmail.Text + "</td></tr><tr><td>Booking Category :</td><td>" + Bookingcategordropdown.SelectedItem.Text + " </td></tr><tr><td> Message :</td><td>" + txtMessage.Text + "</td></tr></Table></body></html><html><body>";
Msg.CC.Add("sundhar@chapatimakingmachine.org");
Msg.CC.Add(txtEmail.Text);
Msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
// your remote SMTP server IP.
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "smtp.live.com";
smtp.Port = 587;
Msg.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("info@dhuvara.com", "SolaiMail");
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
// smtp.Send(txtEmail, "info@dhuvara.com", txtEmail.Text, body);
smtp.Send(Msg);
//Msg = null;
lbltxt.Text = "Thanks for Contact us";
// Clear the textbox valuess
txtName.Text = "";

in your code i see from address is
Msg.From = new MailAddress(txtEmail.Text);
here you can change or update and set what email you can use

sorry. from address is dynamic email address that has typed by some of visitor of web page. so i cannot set any default address as a from address. In contact us page any visitor can come and will send their enquiry to the owner of the website.
