Populate TargetAddress from Mail attribute

Question

Hi,
I have a management agent pulling AD information from a domain without Exchange, and I want to populate Target Address using the Mail attribute by putting SMTP:[email protected] infront of it.
I've found this article, but having not done any dev work before I'm a bit lost.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/microsoft.metadirectoryservices.imasynchronization.mapattributesforimport(v=vs.100).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-2
Something like cd.user:("SMTP:"mail)->mv.person:targetAddress
Can anyone point me the in right direction to write a custom expression to do this?
Thanks,
James

Hello,
ok thought you use portal as you ask for a "custom expression".
So so generating the MA rules extension project and create the advanced flow in mA see the following links:
http://www.wapshere.com/missmiis/advanced-attribute-flow-rules
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc720667%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
The flowrulename you set in the MA on the advanced attribute flow will be used in the code to point to the correct code part, I like to use friendly names here like: export_targetAddress.
you code in the MapAttributesForExport Method goes like this then:
Case "export_targetAddress"
If mventry("mail").IsPresent Then
csentry("targetAddress").Value = "SMTP:" & mventry("mail").Value
Else
csentry("targetAddress").Delete()
End If
