[RESOLVED] .Net Compact Framework 1.1 question

[wileyj]

Hi, I'm developing a PocketPC application in the .Net Compact Framework. I am using 3 forms throughout my app. When I try to declare a new instance of my form and then show it, I get errors.

When I do this:

Dim F3 As New Form3

I get "Type Form3 is not defined"

It's in the project as I can see it over in the Solution Explorer. Now I know this is the way to show forms in .Net 1.1, but for some reason is the Compact Framework different?

Hi,
Form3 musn't exist in the project then. Intellisense should help you.
When you do
Dim f3 as new Fo...
it should give you a list of forms in your project.

If I do
Dim f3 as new form3
in my project, which doesn't contain form3, 'type form3 is not defined' is the error I get

Yes, I know that it does that if the form doesn't exist in the project. I know you're only trying to help but I already clearly stated that it DOES exist in my project, I can see it in Solution Explorer. I am certain it exists...It must be something else.

make sure that form3 build action is set to compile

does it show up in the intellisense

Hi,
and just because you clearly stated it, doesn't make it so. I am trying to explain where the error comes from.
As Strider says, does it show up in intellisense?

Nevermind, I'm retarded. I had named them differently when creating them and forgot. Dim frmInventory as New frmInventory instead. Duh, sorry for my stupidity once again and thanks for your help.
