WinForms Issues

[Dropbear]

I have tried downloading and running some sample code off of the net, and quite a few have references to "System.Winforms". This comes up for me as an invalid reference. The version of Visual Studio .NET and my books all have "System.Windows.Forms"


Is System.Winforms some beta release or something that has changed on the production version? Or is it a valid reference that my Visual Studio .NET can't find.

For the record, in this demo, the following all come up as illegal references

"Microsoft.Win32.Interop"
"System.Configuration"
"System.Diagnostics"
"System.Net"

Sorry if this is a real basic question

I've run into the same problem and assumed what you did, that they changed the names since the beta, I haven't tracked it down to a "for sure" yet, but that was my assumption too.

G'day DSJ, thanks for the reply.. it's **** annoying that you can't run a lot of the sample code that's out there then....... I have not looked into whether it just a matter of changing the name of the references, or if there are "inconsistancies" right through the code.

Any idea?

I don't know either, I think you could probably just change the references though. If you go to the VB Home page, they have a 101 VB.NET Examples page that has some good stuff, and everything I've looked at so far works just fine in the current version....

What I'm looking for is some good beginner ASP stuff. Most of what I found so far assumes your using SQL Server (which I'm not), so they're not working for me either. I guess just looking thru the code helps though.

I've got some ASP.NET code that works with Oracle through the OLEDBServer if you need some examples.. Give me a call..
