Question

I’m creating a label within a class and I’m getting an error when i try to do the following code below where its bold. The error I’m getting is that

Drawing is not declared. It may be due to its protection level.

I’m thinking that I have to import a namespace, but I’m not sure exactly which one contains Drawing. I have researched this and have been unsuccessful. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Label1.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red

Answer 1

Color is actually System.Drawing.Color.

You can fully qualify it:

lable1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red

Alternatively, you can use Imports System.Drawing at the top of your file:

' This needs to be in your imports: Imports System.Drawing
lable1.ForeColor = Color.Red
