Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance

[Jeffrey Grantz]

I took the code below from an example of FolderBrowserDialog but I keep
getting the subject diagnostic on DialogResult.OK and I can't figure out
what I am doing wrong.

Any Help? ADVthanksANCE

Private Sub BTN_Browse_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles BTN_Browse.Click

Dim sMyPath As String

FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog()

If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then

Jeffrey,

I think it's because the name "DialogResult" resolves to the form's
DialogResult property (which returns an instance) rather than the
System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult type. Try to fully qualify the type
name.

.... or alternatively use a namespace alias:

\\\
Imports WinForms = System.Windows.Forms
....
If Foo.ShowDialog() = WinForms.DialogResult.OK Then
...
End If

Thanks. That did it. I changed the line to -

If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
Then

Which works fine. Thanks again.
