VB.Net – “…any public member or cannot be found…” message
So I’m playing around with Visual Basic in VisualStudio 2010 Express and I’m planning on importing some code from an old VB file I squirrelled away a while ago. I create my project and define a new class and then copy/paste out of the old code. Intellisence immediately squawks and I get the message “The Namespace or type specified in the Imports ‘System.Drawing’ doesn’t contain any public member or cannot be found.” Great.
A search in MSDN is fruitless but eventually I stumble upon a posting with exactily what I needed to know.
I need to add a reference to the class library. Go to Project > Add Reference and choose the .NET tab. Scroll down to the System.Drawing entry (or whatever you are using) and then add it.
