Problem importing System.Windows.Forms

[Eric A. Johnson]

Hi All,

I'm sure this is a newbie problem... but after all, I am a .NET newbie.
I'm trying to use MessageBox.Show, according to my book. It tells me to use
"Imports System.Windows.Forms". I can import System just fine, but it won't
(or can't) find the .Windows portion; therefore, I cannot use MessageBox.
Is there an option somewhere within VS.NET 2002 that I can change to let it
import properly? I am at my wit's end regarding this, and feeling quite
frustrated; please do not post merely to taunt me. If there is another
forum that is more appropriate for this kind of problem, by all means tell
me, but please do me the courtesy of attempting to help me out. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Eric

Dear Eric,

I imagine you just need to add a reference to System.Windows.Forms to
your application. To do this, right click the References option in
Solution Explorer and choose Add Reference. Locate
System.Windows.Forms.dll in the .NET tab and double-click it, then
press OK and you should be able to use a message box.

Regards,

Mark.

Hi Eric,

You need to add a reference to System.Windows.Forms assembly to access
its classes, namespaces etc.
Project -> Add Reference...
