error message when creating e-mail instance

[peebman2000]

Hello everyone, if you are familar with my username Peebman2000, i'm a beginner programmer with alot of questions. Anyway below is my code to send emails with an attachment. Where I declare "mailmsg as new mailmessage(textemail.text, toaddress)", i'm getting an error message of "type 'MailMessage' is not defined". Its defined and I don't know why I'm getting this message. Does anyone know why and have a suggestion on how I can get it right? Thanks.

Try using System.Web.Mail.MailMessage

I tried and 'dim mailmsg as new mailmessage()' still gives and error of mailmessage is not defined. Any other suggestions?

It didn't work, does anyone have any suggestions?

Dim mailmsg As New [red]System.Web.Mail.[/red]MailMessage()

mailmsg.Body = "this is a test dummy, Notre Dame are losers"

(BTW, did you hear that Notre Dame just made college football history by becoming the first team ever to lose nine consecutive bowl games?)

mailmsg.To = toaddress

Okay I tried and it gives an error saying System.web.mail.mailmessage is obsolet: the recommended alternative is system.net.mail.mailmessage. My form is in VS2005, I just don't understand it. FYI i'm importing system.web.mail and system.net
