WSS document event handler that will use System.web.mail sendmail

I am not using vs studio 2.0 I have 1.1

I have a WSS document event handler that works on a document insert, I want
to use system.web.mail to get to sendmail and put out an email. Document
event handlers are written with C# class library which does not allow me to
reference system.web.mail. I use use the interface with a web control and
reference the web control from within the document event class but when I
compile I get

c:\Documents and Settings\cmello\My Documents\Visual Studio
Projects\SISWorkflow\bin\Debug\SendMailCtrl.dll Referenced class
'SendMailCtrl.DocLibSendMail' has base class or interface
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl' defined in an assembly that is not
referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Web'.

I am thinking that is because in the SendMailCtrl dll there is a method that
uses SendMail and the reference to System.web.mail inside the web control
project is the reason that I cannot create a new instance of the web control
object in my C# document event library and call the method to send mail.

Help!! please I need to have a document library insert event send my custom
email to users who have alerts set without having to go into CAML and rewrite
the alert notification AARGH

Hello,

I are not very clear on what you said about:

Document event handlers are written with C# class library which does not
allow me to reference system.web.mail.

Even in a class library project, we can still add a reference to
System.Web.Dll and use System.Web.Mail.MailMessage. For example, you can
open the class library project in VS.NET 2003, right click the project in
solution explorer and select "add reference" and add "System.Web.DLL".
Then, in its code, you can use:

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage m= new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang
