name space "Microsoft.WindowsCE.Form" is not found

Hi all,
While i try to build a example c# project, i get a error message "The type or namespace name 'Microsoft' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)". This error occures in "using Microsoft.WindowCE
..Form".

I am installing .net visual studio 2003 and sp2. Do i need to get some .dll or i just need changing some setting in .net v.s 2003?? Actually, I am not sure if the lib "Microsoft.WindowCE.Form" has installed in my computer, i just need to set assembly reference. Or i have to get this lib first!?

Hello

I think you didnt installed lib while installing vs.net

You can install again in your VS.NET CD

Good Luck!

Hi Ginee,

Are you developing a Pocket PC app?
That namespace is intended for that, if this is the case you need to add a
reference to it in your project, you do not need to install nothing more.

Just go to project/Add Reference and find there the namespace

Cheers,

I haven't come across the Microsoft.WindowCE namespace myself -
normally you just use System.Windows.Forms. How old is your example
project? It could be that it came out before the Compact Framework was
released, and that the name has changed.

Hi Jon,

This namespace is intended to be used in the compact framework and provide
a couple of functionality not found in System.Windows.Form , in fact IIRC it
was added later, it did not exist in release 1, it provide two important
functionality, InputPanel that let you use the SIP ( before that you had to
use P/Invoke) and MessageWindow that export the hWnd property and override
the WndProc method.
Cheers,
