Hey There,

I am having trouble wrapping my head arround sending emails in asp .net (VB).

I have updated my web.config with smtp settings, however when I do a page load event to create a new mailmessage class i get an error that MailMessage()is not defined.

Below is my web.config except and my page load event.

Thanks for your help on this, and I really hope someone can help.

~~~Page Load~~~
Partial Class _500
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        Dim msg As New MailMessage()

    End Sub
End Class

~~~Web Config ~~~
  <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="Network">
        <network
            defaultCredentials="false"
             host="my.mail.server.com"
             port="25"
             userName="XXXX"
             password="XXXX" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

(I replace the host / username / password with valid details.)

hi

i think you have to use System.Net.Mail.MailMessage while defining or else import System.Net.Mail and use MailMessage

Ahhh, thanks

Is there a way todo this in the web.config file?

you can do it in pagelevel as follows, put the following line in top of the page.

imports System.Net.Mail

In web.config level
in web.config
<system.web>

    <pages>
        <imports>
            <add namespace="MyWeb.UI" />
        </imports>
    </pages>

</system.web>
