New to .Net- Imports System.Windows.Forms does not appear

[LazRazMataz]

Hi everyone,

I am new to .Net, so please excuse if this problem is a novice problem. I tried to create a DataGrid to update an SQL file on the Web. But I got an error "Type 'TextBox' is not defined." On the net I read that all you had to do was type at the top of the file "Imports System.Windows.Forms". But unfortunatel y it is not valid when I enter it. In fact it doesn't even acknowledge up to the "Import System.Windows"! P.S. I have the Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Developer Edition.

Thanks.

Check that your project also reference System.Windows.Forms.dll

Produced another error.

Ooops, got another error. Didn't notice but after adding that reference it produced another error. "Value of type 'System.Web.UI.Control' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox'.

Thanks for the previous tip anyways.

If you are using asp.net then you should not be using the windows textbox - you should be importing the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace.
