Question

I got 11 errors in my VB program. All the errors look similar: X is ambiguous in the namespace Y

Error line: Imports System.Net.Sockets  
            Imports System.Text  
            Module Module1  
            Sub Main()

Dim serverSocket As New TcpListener(System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("192.168.1.100"), 8888)

How might I resolve this?

Answer 1

I suspect that you’ve added two different references for assemblies that define System.Net.Sockets. (Probably System.dll for .NET 2.0 and .NET 4.0, but that’s neither here nor there.)

I say this because there’s nothing wrong with your code:

Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Text

Module Module1

Sub Main()
  Dim serverSocket As New TcpListener(System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("192.168.1.100"), 8888)
End Sub

End Module
