.NET Forum / Languages / Managed C++ / May 2005messagebox.show produces error???
I am using Visual Studio .net 2003 (C#) I have a line of code like: messagebox.show("Hello"); I get the erorr message "The type or namespace name 'messagebox' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) " MessageBox.Show("Hello"); Does NOT product the error. Also, normally, I get a dropdown list of available commands, but after typing messagebox. , nothing appears. Anybody know what's going on? >I am using Visual Studio .net 2003 (C#) > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Anybody know what's going on? Previous experience with VB, perhaps? As C# is case-sensitive, why would you expect messagebox to be accepted in place of the correct MessageBox? If you are migrating from VB, where incorrect case is automatically corrected if the typed identifier is recognized, you'll need to get used to case-sensitivity. You will get the dropdown intellisense list, but only if you spell the qualifying identifier correctly.  SignaturePeter [MVP Visual Developer] Jack of all trades, master of none. That did it! And you are correct, I've been using Visual Basic and am new to C#. >>I am using Visual Studio .net 2003 (C#) >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > to case-sensitivity.

Well, welcome to the C family of programming languages! If you have additional questions on C#, you may get better results using the C#-dedicated newsgroup: microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp The group names are a bit confusing at first, but this group (.vc) is for C++. When you decide to try C++, this would be a good place for questions. SignaturePeter [MVP Visual Developer] Jack of all trades, master of none.
