Trying to use Namespace as a type

Dwayne Adams

I keep getting an error on the line I have highlighted. It tells me that I am trying to use a Namespace as a Type. Can anyone help?

private void btnExtract_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{

_Separator = tbSeparator.Text.Trim();

Extract Extract = new Extract { URL = tbURL.Text };

Extract.OnCompletion += new Extract.Completion(Extract_OnCompletion);

Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Extract.Start));

thread.Start();

btnExtract.Enabled = false;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

}

No, I had tried to do that before. It's the Class itself. I got the code from a site like this one. When I open it in the downloaded version, it gets to the setting of the Class Extract and stops running the code and skips out. However, when I thought it might be, and I know is not, that that Class was something like a trial version of this and you have to buy later. But when I just created a new project in .NET and only got the code I needed from other project , creating Classes and all and just pasted what was necessary, I get the error we have been discussing. I don't get it.

No, the name of the class is Extract. I am trying to extract all emails in a given website. Thank you very much for your help, and if you have any other suggestions, please let me know

Hi
May be you missed the class name like

Xxclass.Extract Extract = new Xxclass.Extract { URL = tbURL.Text };

or

Extract.Xxclass Extract = new Extract.Xxclass { URL = tbURL.Text };
