for sending mail there is no matter whether it is an MVC or asp or winform.
the matter is which language are you using, you can give mail code in in any even where you want to send an email
I have a blog that will tell you how to send an email from win form check that
and you can use that in your button code

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/send-gridview-data-as-mail-using-c-sharp

or
create a function as follows and change function with your email ids and pasword
public static void Email(string htmlString) {
   try {
       MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
       SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
       message.From = new MailAddress("FromMailAddress");
       message.To.Add(new MailAddress("ToMailAddress"));
       message.Subject = "Test";
       message.IsBodyHtml = true; //to make message body as html
       message.Body = htmlString;
       smtp.Port = 587;
       smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; //for gmail host
       smtp.EnableSsl = true;
       smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
       smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("FromMailAdrress", "password");
       smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
       smtp.Send(message);
   } catch (Exception) {}

in this function pass your html formated string or normal string you wanted to send

You just send mail as you were before. There is no such thing (to the best of my knowledge!) as sending mail using asp.net mvc.

Just google send mail examples, and you will get loads and loads of hits. Should you have any specific question with respect to code you implement, please feel free to ask.
