Ah,
You need to add a reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll
I assume the dll will have no interface components (forms etc),
why not pass/raise any errors back to the calling function and
let it raise the messageboxes if required?
cheers

I tried that and while I could import System, System.Windows was not
available. I suspect that it is because this was not a "windows"
project, but rather a "class library" project, but I am not sure of
that.

Hi John,
I've never used VB Express but...
This is what I use...
Dim result As DialogResult = MessageBox.Show _
( _
"The application will be terminated...", _
"Application Fatal Error", _
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop, _
MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1, _
MessageBoxOptions.DefaultDesktopOnly _
)
And it's a member of System.Windows.Forms so, Imports System

In a VB Express project, messagebox is valid, but when I open the same
thing in the VS, it says it is not valid. Is it possibly because I
created this project as a class library? I can't seem to import the
forms namespace which IIRC is where the messagebox is contained.
I am attempting to create my own library which I will reference from my
projects. Should I not make it a class library or am I just completely
off track?
