Hi Mike:

I'm working with an ASP.NET application but the codeproject.com referral was a nice discovery.

I downloaded a set of controls that seemed promising

http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/AsHive.asp

When I started to play with integrating the code into a subclass of Mere Mortals I realized that I was not able to Import the System.Drawing name space from one of my .VB files. Intellisense didn't find it but the object browser says it's there.

Just when I think I'm getting my head above water along comes another wave.

I tried this again with an empty class/program ... the following code yields a blue wavy line under System.Drawing.

   Imports System.Drawing

   Public Class Test

   End Class

The point that illustrates I don't know what is going on is that this works fine over in the solution that I downloaded from CodeProject ... no blue wavy line in the Imports System.Drawing line of code.

Sigh ... man I hate starting all over again ... 10 years of development experience and I feel like I did as a new graduate right out of college.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this subject.
