[RESOLVED] [2005] Got a warning!

[sparrow1]

Hi All,

A little more explanation about the title.
I'm trying to set the Formborderstyle of my Form to FixedSingle and I'm using the code below;

Me.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle

It's working but It gave me this warning:

Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated

What can I do about it.

Thanks in advance,

When you refer to "FormBorderStyle" on the right of that assignment it is being interpreted as the FormBorderStyle property of the form, i.e.

Me.FormBorderStyle = Me.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle

It is incorrect to refer to an enumerated value via a variable or property of that type. In order to specify the FormBorderStyle type you need to qualify the name with it's namespace, i.e.

Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle

This is the very same reason that whaen you test the return value of a MessageBox.Show call you must specify Windows.Forms.DialogResult rather than just DialogResult, which is interpreted as the DialogResult property of the form.
