System.Web.MailWould like to use this namespace but Visual Studio.Net 2003 cannot
locate and I do not see it listed under Project | Add Reference. Was this not included this older version of VB.Net or Visual Studio? Is there source code that I can download. I'm retired, VB.Net is a hobby, and I would like to write a program to send a short weekly message automatically (scheduled) to a dozen tennis players each week. Found code snippets but all depend on System.Web.Mail.

Wagner program to find the namespace reference with Imports System.Web.Mail. Now I remain a bit confused by Spam Catcher's help which I find well documented; however my older version does not accept Imports System.Net.Mail. However you guys have me moving forward and I do appreciate, already I have been successfully in sending a message so I am 95% along with this weekly tennis notifier.

Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/> Ok - I got it and am off and running. Will look into upgrading but
when you only do this for a hobby and are retired, the decision to have the latest bells and whistles is difficult. However the confusion of requesting information and finding code examples on older version tends to offset. Ed Show quoteHide quote "Herfried K.
