Unable To Import "System.Drawing" When My Only Reference Is "System"?
Jan 19, 2012
In Visual Studio 10 - Visual Basic, why can't I import "System.Drawing" when my only reference is "System"? I can import "System.Runtime.InteropServices".To reproduce my problem:
1. Create a New Project in Visual Studio 10 with Visual Basic Class Library template.
2. Add "Imports System.Drawing" and "Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices" at the beginning.
3. Remove all references except "System" in the References pane of the project properties.
Result:Visual Studio cannot find "System.Drawing" but it can find "System.Runtime.InteropServices". "System.Drawing" is fully qualified so the system should be able to find it inside the referenced "System".
Thoughts:It appears "System" and "System.Drawing" are distinct namespaces (or containers?) so why doesn't qualification "." work? Does "." represent something else? "System" is also in "mscorlib" but is that the namespace which is used or is it another?"Microsoft.VisualBasic" is also listed in the imported namespaces but there is not a reference to it. How was it found? Where is the "Imported namespaces" list populated from?I have been looking through it for a while but cannot understand why "System.Drawing" is not imported.

I am making a web browser using geckofx. I have put the favicon in a picture box but I have changed my mind and now I want it as the form's icon. The code for the favicon is:[code...]
The favicon works fine in the picture box but i think it will look better as an icon. If i change the line Me.PictureBox1.Image = favicon to Form1.icon = favicon I get the error Value of type 'System.Drawing.Image' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Icon'. How can I get this to work?

#1 is C# Class Library, where I have my EF model defined (3.5 sp1) and some public methods.#2 is a VB winforms app.In the winforms app, I have referenced the C# library and added the connection string for the EF model. The problem I am having is that I have a form where the user selected a .txt file to import. On the VB side, I create a byte() from the file, then pass it to a public method cleverly called Process. In Process(), everything runs smoothly until I instantiate the EF model.

I have a program that creates a Treeview from information procured through an ODBC query and dumped into a dataset. I have three such queries set up via radial buttons as well as a refresh button that triggers whatever radial button is active at the time it's clicked. The purpose of this program is to allow drag-and-drop of selected nodes, ending with a post to the database that officially makes that change of assignment to the new node.

I made a program with Visual Basic Express 2008. I got this error message when I try to close my program after running it. (PS: It is a simple code that can login into Microsoft SQL Server)The error message shows the error was caused by the "system.drawing" (Parameter is not valid). Also, I have been trying the code in VBA (Excel). When I tried to close Excel after running my code, I got the same problem (Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and need to be closed.....) and the error report shows the error was caused by "system.drawing" as well.

I have an InvalidCastException Error in my program. The program is that i try to insert an employee record into a database table after getting the details from a form. I've used Money data type is SQL Server for salary and SqlTypes.SqlDecimal data type in employee template class. i've used a stored procedure to pass the values and i add the basic value by passing a parameter by the method
Dim prm8 As SqlParameter = com.Parameters.Add("@basic", SqlDbType.Money)
prm8.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
prm8.Value = emp.Bsc
I've used the money datatype itself even in the stored procedure variable.I get the following error.
failed to convert parameter value from sql decimal to decimal
Even if i use
prm8.Value = Convert.ToDecimal(emp.Bsc)
I get an error Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDecimal' to type 'System.IConvertible'.

I am getting a really bizarre error and it makes no sense at all.Basically I have a user entity which has a Password property. This property is of Type Binary, the server data type being Binary(512).I am reading this value in and converting it to a byte array. However whenever I run my code I am getting a completely unrelated error of Unable to cast object of type 'System.Guid' to type 'System.String'.This strikes me as very odd since I am not using a property or variable of type string or GUID anywhere in this procedure where it falls over.
The code is below:
Public Shared Function ValidateUser(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String) As UserValidationMessage
Using db As New EntityMapDataContext
Dim u = From user In db.Users
Where user.Username = username

Code: Dim dom As New DOMDocument30 dom.async = False
dom.Load(serverAddress & "/App/filelist.jsp?type=content")
For i = 0 To dom.childNodes.item(1).childNodes.length - 1 downloadfile(dom.childNodes.item(i), mcount, currentpath) Next
The above code is activated upon clicking of a button. i have the server address declared. and using the domdoc to load the jsp file to generate the xml data. and using for loop, i call the download file function which accepts the following parameters
Code:Public Sub downloadfile(ByVal domdoc As Xml.XmlNode, ByVal totalcount As Integer, ByVal currentpath As String)
The totalcount and currentpath work fine, but when i pass in the dom.childNodes.item(i) , error pops up.
