Namespace web not found

I am following through the tutorial by Microsoft to integrate with SendGrid. Their code is here.

Now I am using .Net framework 4.5.2 and I am getting an error on the line:

  // Create a Web transport for sending email.
  var transportWeb = new Web(credentials);

The error says "The type or namespace name 'Web' could not be found." I have searched online and couldn't find much about it. I have got all the namespaces that they have mentioned in the page.

Anyone can give me some clues please?

Thanks. Behdad.

Ok for anyone else getting stuck trying to configure their MVC 5 project to all sending confirmation emails here is the information:

  1. I was following through this page
  2. The problem I was facing was I couldn't see the namespace Web
  3. So after you create a SendGrid account on Azure use the username/password on Sendgrid.com and get an API key

  4. Then using that API key, use the following code to send your emails:

    private async Task configSendGridasync(IdentityMessage message)
{
    var apiKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["NAME_OF_THE_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_FOR_YOUR_SENDGRID_KEY"];
    var client = new SendGridClient(apiKey);
    var from = new EmailAddress("[email protected]", "Example User");
    var subject = message.Subject;
    var to = new EmailAddress("[email protected]", "Example User");
    var plainTextContent = message.Body;
    var htmlContent = message.Body;
    var msg = MailHelper.CreateSingleEmail(from, to, subject, plainTextContent, htmlContent);

    await client.SendEmailAsync(msg);
}

The above code was copied from here.

Check if you have added the SendGrid package to your project. Then, add using SendGrid; to your class.

If you have already, you may click on Web and press Alt + Shift + F10 to see options available.
