I'm converting a 1.1 webform to 2.0, and I'm having an issue trying to fix an obsolete class. System.Web.Mail has been obseleted so now I have to convert to the System.Net.Mail. I'm having a problem because now for some reason when I try to add the "from" and "to" parts of the email its giving me an error of "Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Net.Mail.MailAddress.'" ...ummmm... so would an INTEGER be more appropriate? It also says, "Property 'To' is 'ReadOnly'." ....huh?

Here's the code:

Try
Dim sMailMessage As String
sMailMessage = fcnSendForm()

Dim sErrMsg As String = fcnInsertDB()
If sErrMsg.Trim <> "" Then

Dim objMM As New MailMessage
objMM.Subject = "Systems & Facilities Request Form ERROR"
objMM.Body = sErrMsg & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & sMailMessage
objMM.From = "xxxxxxxxx@xxx.com" <----ERROR here type string can't be converted
objMM.To = sErrorRecipient <------ERROR here property "to" is ReadOnly
objMM.Priority = MailPriority.High
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = sSMTPserver
SmtpMail.Send(objMM)
End If


Any help would be greatly appreciated

EDIT: Nevermind.. I think I solved this through some internet research. For those of you who have the same problem visit Mike's Blog
