Errors in program, downloaded overhere.

Yes, in that post you did provide the address of the article.

On the moment I mentioned that link I talked about my 'previous post' which was not the first post of this topic but the third post in this topic. In that topic it is on the bottom sentence.

I also sent Mike a message before I posted my reply.

Deleting the using statements and the references might not help solve the problem but it helps to do the clean-up at least.

In that sample, there is a using statement for Forms but the program uses the namespace name in the code. It might work to simply remove the namespace name in the code and just fix the using statement. Regardless, I got to a pointg where I was not sure what to do so I decided not to do it myself. I hope we hear from Mike.


I have looked at your original question and looked a third time. I don't see a link to anything anywhere in the message. So I assume you misunderstand what I meant.

If you meant that you put the link in the subject, then please look again; it is not there. Also for the future, it helps to always put everything from the subject in the body; don't put relevant information in the subject and assume we will see it

Thank you Mahesh, good idea!
I just send him a message with the question to convert it.

Thank you Sam Hobbs.
Ik was indeed the first Yahtzee-article, but I DID place a link in my previous post, just watch the last sentence overthere.
Never thought of removing/replacing using-statements. Good one :-)

For the future, syncan, it would help to post a link to articles and samples that you are working with. Specifically, you said you "downloaded the yahtzee-game from this site". It would help if you had provided a link to that article. If you had then I think Jure would have been more helpful. There are two articles about Yahtzee and I assume you are using the first one (part one or whatever). I downloaded it and built it; I get similar errors. The article is ten years old so it is not surprising that it is not current. So this is what I would do. I first deleted all the references that have a yellow warning symbol beside them, as Jure describes. Then I deleted the using statements that cause errors. Then for any source code that causes an error saying something is not found, I used the documentation to determine where it is and therefore what to use. For example the UserControl Class is in System.Windows.Forms, so I added a reference for that. Then I changed System.WinForms to System.Windows.Forms in the source code. Similarly, PaintEventArgs is in System.Windows.Forms, so I changed PaintEventArgs to System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs.
 
There are many other fixes that are needed to make the source code compatible with the current version of .Net, so I suggest that you look for other articles and samples for now until the Yahtzee article is revised or you have learned enough to know how to fix the problems yourself.

Yes, there's something missing:
Microsoft.Win32.Interop
System.Diagnostics
System.Timers
System.Winforms

I am using .net version 4.0

If I do what you said about 'Add reference' and try to get System.Core I get the following error:

"A reference to system.core could not be added. The component is already be referenced by the build system"

I did not find any DLL from system.WinForms. In fact, there is no dll at all in the solution folder.

The game I am talking about is this one:

Maybe you're missing a dll (library)? At the right side (in your picture), where you have solution explorer, open "References" folder and check if there are any warning icons.

-If there's no System.Core reference in that folder, right click on folder, click "Add reference", go to .NET tab and search for System.Core, click OK.
-System.WinForms isn't built-in library (at least I can't find it), so try to search for dll file in the solution's folder on your disk.
