为什么我不能在VB.net中使用SendGrid库？

Question

Hello today my boss ordered me to use a smtp service named SendGrid and i wanted to know if it is possible to use SendGrid on a VisualBasic project. From their documentation i only see they have libraries on C# and not in VB, so I thought it wasn't possible.

I have referenced the library and imported the namespace, and tried to create an instance of SendGrid.SendGridMessage

Imports SendGrid

Public Class _Default
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
        ' Create the mail object first, then add the properties.
        Dim myMsg As SendGrid.SendGridMessage() = New SendGrid.SendGridMessage()
    End Sub

But the compiler gives me this message

Type 'SendGrid.SendGridMessage' is not defined

My IDE showing reference and code

I got it working by installing the package SendGrid-Net40 (and its dependencies below automatically).

This code will now compile

Dim myMsg As New SendGrid.SendGridMessage()
