Hi all,

I am creating a base-textbox class using Kevin Goff's suggested code below.

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace BaseControls
{
   public class BaseTextBox : TextBox
   {
     public override Font Font
      {
        get { return base.Font; }
	set {base.Font = value; }      // new line
	}

	public BaseTextBox()
	{
	base.Font = new  Font("Tahoma",8);
        }
   }
}

My problem is that the code will not compile correctly under Visual C# (Express). The first 'Font' above is underlined and I get the error message "The type or namespace 'Font' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

Any ideas on this one? Any help would be appreciated.

Alan
