send email problem

[Guest]

hi, ive read all the past posts about sending emails in VS 2003 and 2005 but
i have a slight problem. i try to import "System.Web.Mail" but it cannot find
that class in VS 2003 nor VB Express 2005. Am i missing somethign here? i
have the system.web.dll and the system.web class but i dont have the Mail
subclass

'System.Web.Mail' is a namespace, not a class. This namespace contains
further classes.

Is this an ASP.NET page or Windows Forms?

Add a reference to System.Web.
Use System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send.

This should not make a difference, "System.Web.dll" can be referenced in
both Windows Forms projects and Web Forms projects.

Add a reference to System.Web.
Use System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send.

In .NET 2.0 I suggest to use 'System.Net.Mail' instead of 'System.Web.Mail'.
