Question

How do I work with WIndows Forms in WPF?

In my WPF program I created a Windows Form class.
In this Form, I placed an OK button and I went into the properties of the button and set the DialogResult to OK.
Now, I am calling this Dialog (Window Form) from the MainWindow.xaml.cs:

     DialogResult dres;
     dres = form.ShowDialog();
     if (dres != DialogResult.OK) return;

The compiler is complaining:

Error   3   'System.Nullable<bool>' does not contain a definition for 'OK' and no extension method 'OK' 
accepting a first argument of type 'System.Nullable<bool>' could be found (are you missing a using directive 
or an assembly reference?)

Answer 1

The compiler is finding another definition of DialogResult, probably somewhere in your code. Spell its name out completely to avoid the ambiguity:

 System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult dres;
 dres = form.ShowDialog();
 if (dres != System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) return;
