[RobcPettit]

hi I get an error saying namespace Form1 not found and Error 4 Argument
'1': cannot convert from 'Form1' to 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' I:\My
Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Betting Monitor\Betting
Monitor\Program.cs 18 29 Betting Monitor in the code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace System.Windows.Forms

{
static class Program
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(fals e);
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
}
}
any ideas please.

Robert,
the very first thing to do is change the namespace of your class to
something that doesn't represent a namespace collision with a .NET Framework
BCL namespace - System.Windows.Forms.

Once you've got it changed to something less problematic such as "MyFormApp"
then come back if you still have issues.
