[RESOLVED] I need to pop up a messagebox in Console

Hi ,
========================================
Error 1 The type or namespace name 'Windows' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
========================================

what is wrong with this code please ?

Code:

---

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace MsgBox
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
          MessageBox.Show("Hello World");
                       
        }
    }
}

---

You must add a reference to System.Windows.Forms.

but I have done the reference No?

using System.Windows.Forms;


++++++++++++++++++++

okay thanks solved

No, those aren't references.

See this post, which explains the difference between what you've done and a reference:

From the exception itself which you posted asked "are you missing an assembly reference?" so you should have gotten a hint from that. =)
