Mail from Class Library 2

[NervousRex]

I don't know if I'm even going about this the proper way, but I am creating a .dll to include in my projects that is just a class that handles a certain area of the business that every application will use in the future.

I figure if something needs changed with this area of business, if built right I should only need to replace the .dll file? If I'm going about this wrong please let me know...but my main question is:

Is it possible to email from this class library? I tryed importing System.web.mail but it is not found.

Yes you can email from a .DLL. You need a reference to System.Web.

Yes you can just reference the dll you are creating and replace it if needed.

1) Absolutely! As long as you don't remove functionality or change method signatures, you can just copy the new .Dlls over the old ones. Proper teir design and abstraction will go along way in helping you create re-usable and easily maintainable code.

2) Yes, you'll need to add a reference to the library that has the mail name space. I can't recall the name off the top of my head, but if you google for: "VB.Net" "System.Web.Mail" reference you'll probrably find it.

Thanks guys

I wasn't adding a reference, I was simply trying to Imports System.Web and System.Web.Mail

I added a reference and its all good now.
