Question: 'System.Web.Mail' namespace not found

[VB Programmer]

I'm trying to send an email from my VB.NET application.

From the examples I've seen everyone imports 'System.Web.Mail' first. But,
when I type 'import System.Web.Mail' the editor says it can't find the
namespace. The message is: "Namespace or type 'mail' for the Imports
'System.Web.Mail' cannot be found." Any ideas?

Thanks.

You'd have to add a reference to the System.Web.dll.

I get the same error and squiggly blue line when I try to import that too.

Any idea? Thanks.

You have to add a reference before you try to import it!
In VS.NET: Project menu: Add Reference
Choose the desired dll.

Add a reference to "System.Web.dll" through the solution explorer.
