Imports System.Web.Mail Problem

Question

I am a novice at programming.

Trying to write a small program that will send out an email.

However, the Imports System.Web.Mail generates a "Namespace does not contain a public member...etc"

Googling this problem indicates that I need to add a reference...System.Web.dll which I think I have done through Project > Reference and adding System.Web to the reference list.

But I still get the error message. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong??

Thanks

Thanks!! I will give that a try.
But, I am curious...any thoughts on why adding the reference did not allow System.Web.Mail to work??
Thanks again

System.Web.Mail is used in older version .Net 2.0.
System.Net.Mail is the latest version.
So some function will not support with old one.
