this is my very simple progam :
--------------------------------------
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("");
        }
    }
}

I got this compilation error:
--------------------------------------------
    Error 1 The type or namespace name 'MessageBox' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Windows.Forms' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
-------------------------------------
Anybody , any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

hi,

You have to add the reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll.

Hi,
Thank you ,Prashant.
I think you are right.
Michael

why would you want a message box to appear in your console application although its just a namespace for your project ConsoleApplication2 i am assuming you are creating a console app. use windows application instead it will make more sense.
