send mail with attachment VB.net

[davejam]

Hi all,

Having a bit of an issue sending email with an attachment from my vb.net application.

From the examples i can find on the web which aren't asp.net related I have tried the following, except in vb.net mailattachment is not defined.

Imports System.Net.Mail

Dim myMail As New MailMessage()
With insMail
 .From = New MailAddress("me@mysite.com")
 .To.Add("it@mysite.com")
 .Subject = "Test email for attachment"
 .Body = "tester"
 .IsBodyHtml = True
 Dim AttachmentFile As String = my_folder & "file_123.pdf"
 Dim attachment As New MailAttachment(attachmentfile)
 .Attachments.Add(attachment)
end with

but MailAttachment gets an error!
Type 'MailAttachment' is not defined.

Any ideas? or should i try a different approach?

Cheers

turns out i was overlooking the obvious!!

Dim MsgAttach As New Attachment(AttachmentFile)
.Attachments.Add(MsgAttach)
