MDI problem

[nibsy]

I have a parent form, from which i wish to open child forms. I am going to use the open dialog from a menu, using the following code.

 

Private Sub mnuFileOpen_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuFileOpen.Click

       If DlgOpen.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
           Dim oForm As New [color=red]frmView()[/color]
           oForm.mdiParent = Me
           oForm.Picture = Image.FromFile(DlgOpen.FileName)
           oForm.Show()
       End If

End Sub

 

 

However the highlighted text throws the message:

 

Type 'frmView' is not defined.

 

I am not too sure why. Thanks in-advance.

It means there's no frmView defined in your project (or there is, but it's in a namespace that isn't imported).

Thanks Divil, I had called my child form something other than frmView()
