Hi!

Has anyone been using visual web developer 2005? I could use help.
I'm doing a walk through trying to create a website with membership and user login

I must say I've been very impressed with this tool so far and have been able to do some neat stuff visually like connect easily to SQLserver Northwind, create a datagrid with various parameter searches - one of which is a dynamic categories listbox generated by a table in Northwind. I am pretty new to programing and found this pretty easy to use.

I was doing just fine and able to follow along and create a folder in which the user would not have access to unless he filled out a form and registered. (deny)

The next instruction in the walkthrough was choose from the the website menu> then choose asp.net configuration. This brings you to the Administration tool where I am supposed to click on the famous(or infamous as I've been reading) SMTP e-mail settings. As soon as I do this I get an instant error:

I spent some time trying to configure the SMTP mail server thing in my IIS version 5.1. It says it is running - so then I read somewhere to create a virtual server - so I did that.

1. In the dialog box I was asked to enter my domain. I looked and searched for my domain in IIS - I feel stupid, but do not know what it would be. I just want to test it so I put microsoft.com in there. Then I went back to try again to configure my email settings, still get the following SAME error:


Code:Compiler Error Message: CS0246: The type or namespace name 'MailSettingsSection' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)


The compiler output is as follows:


Code:

2. I have no idea what happened or what is incorrectly configured, that is why I thought I would ask one of you experts here.

Please remember that I am the village (or city since we're at vbCity) idiot and need kindergarten instruction on how to proceed..., that is, how to configure my SMTP so that I don't get the error as soon as I click on the SMTP email settings.

Thanks ahead
