Error in compiling

hi,
i am trying to use richtextbox class but i am getting this error.

BC30466: Namespace or type 'Form' for the Imports 'System.Windows.Forms' cannot be found


i had imported system.windows.forms and added reference as system.windows.forms.dll. But still i am getting the error.

Could anyone help me out in resolving this problem.

thanks

Weird !!:confused:
I'll tell you what I did : I created an empty proj (without any reference). Then added a form , and automatically those dll were added :
System.dll
System.Windows.Forms.dll
System.Data.dll
System.Drawing.dll

so those seem the basic reference that might your app need . try adding the last two dlls and see if this helps !!

hi,
Thanks for the reply.

I had included all the dll viz
system
system.data
system.drawing
system.web
system.xml
system.windows.forms

i am getting error when i am importing "system.windows.forms"
i don't know why i am getting this error and how to debug it.


Thanks

make sure that this file is their on your system.


C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\SYSTEM.WINDOWS.FORMS.dll
