What is the command line you used to compile the application? Did you reference the System.Windows.Forms assembly when you compiled?
The command line option : -reference:ASS References the specified assembly (-r:ASS) hth, Armand -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danny Brugman Sent: 13 April 2005 11:37 AM To: mono-list@lists.ximian.com Subject: [Mono-list] namespace System.Windows.Forms cannot be found Hi, This might be a real beginners-question, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere on the internet, nor in the gnome documentation / Windows Forms home page. Issue is that I try to compile a very simple hello-world winforms application (Linux, Fedora FC3). I installed mono 1.1.6 + winforms rpm + all required dependencies (libgdiplus, cairo, etc), and I see a System.Windows.Forms directory in '/usr/lib/mono/gac/'. After invoking mcs I get the following error: hello.cs(2) error CS0234: The type or namespace name `Windows' could not be found innamespace `System' Could someone please help me out? Many thanks, Danny Brugman BTW Here is the source: using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Drawing; class MyForm : Form { MyForm () { Text = "My First MWF App"; } protected override void OnPaint (PaintEventArgs e) { e.Graphics.DrawString ("Hello world", Font, new SolidBrush (Color.Black), ClientRectangle); } static void Main () { Application.Run (new MyForm ()); } } _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
