Hi,

I'm using windows XP professional with SP2 as Operating system and VS.NET 2003. I'm trying to create one threading application in VB.NET. When i declare variable

Dim ts as Thread

It gives me error - "Type expected".

I have imported all the required class libraries such as
"System.Threading."

The same code works fine on other machines (with 2000 Prof as operating system).

Can anyone tell me what is going wrong with the code on my machine?

Thanks,
Abhijeet

Are you sure you are importing System.Threading in the module?

As an alternative, did you try:

    Dim ts as System.Threading.Thread

I have exactly the same environment as you. I created a Windows project and in the form load event placed:

    Dim ts as Thread

and got a "Type 'thread' is not defined." error, not the "Type Expected" error you got.

When I placed an "Imports System.Threading" at the top of the form, the error went away. It also went away when I wrote the line as "Dim ts as System.Threading.Thread". Either way works for me...
