Errors using command line to compile

[SatishPutcha]

Hello All

I have installed the 106 MB Microsoft.NET SDK. I tested by compiling and executing "HelloWorld.cs" from the command prompt(I do not have VS.NET). It all went smoothly.

Now I tried to compile and run a cs program that should simply show me a window. But I am getting the error:

The type or namespace "Winforms" does not exist in the class or namespace "System".

The error code is CS0234.

I read somewhere that the the references to the DLLs should be added in the project page. But since I do not use VS.NET I cannot do this.

Is there any way to sort this problem out?

Please help!!

ALL suggestions are welcome.

Only please remember I can do this only using Notepad and Command prompt.

Regards
Satish Kumar

you should make sure all the imports are set correctly even the ones you think you dont use. and then look at this site it has a free ide named sharpdevelop looks a bit like VS.

http://www.sharpdevelop.com

and try this site for the parameter settings of vbc or csc.

Thank you for the response. I shall try them out.

You had mentioned about "imports" , would that be about the libraries we include with the "using" keyword? Please confirm.

Thanks again.

yep, thats it.
you are in the vb.net forum and there we use imports instead of using. there is also an C# forum

Sorry that this post was in the wrong place.

But your suggestion was of great help. The SharpDevelop IDE is very impressive though the error persisted. But I fixed that by changing System.WinForms to System.Windows.Forms.
