'Label' is an Ambigous reference

[NicktheNewbie]

Label lbl;

is all I have as a declaration, but I get "'Label' is an Ambigous reference" when I try to run.

This code seemed to work fine in another project, just not here.

Any idea what might be the problem?

The compiler is telling you that when it searches the list of references in your project it's finding two or more classes with the name "Label". Perhaps you're referencing both the windows forms and the web forms libraries? Or maybe you have another class you've written called "Label"?

To fix this you need to either track down & remove the extra references, or, if you need both of them, you'd use the fully qualified name for Label: System.Windows.Forms.Label

Awesome. Added the fully qualified name, worked like a charm.
