Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "xyz.com" Is oblsolete

[moondaddy]

I converted a v.net 1.1 project from 1.1 to 2.0 and this was one of my
warning messages. It advised me to change to
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient, however, I don't see how to assign a mail server
using this new library.

Here's the warning msg:

Warning 104 'System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail' is obsolete: 'The recommended
alternative is System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202' D:\Apps\Utilities\Utilites.vb
274 13 Utilities


also, do you know of any good code examples of how to create and send mail
using vb.net 2.0?

Thanks.

Hi moondaddy,

As you can see, in .NET framework 2.0, you're encouraged to use
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient instead of System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail. Any usage
of System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail will lead to a compiler warning.

HTH.
