Here is the most simple definition I could use to try to test this out:

            Dim loFtpWebRequest As System.Net.FtpWebRequest = Nothing

            Using loFtpWebResponse = loFtpWebRequest.GetResponse()

                Using loStream = loFtpWebResponse.GetResponseStream()

                    Using loStreamReader As New StreamReader(loStream)

                    End Using

                End Using

            End Using

loFtpWebRequest is System.Net.FtpWebRequest
loFtpWebResponse is System.Net.FtpWebResponse
loStream is System.IO.Stream
loStreamReader is System.IO.StreamReader

The full message is:

"Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'New' can be called without a narrowing conversion:
'Public Sub New(path As String)': Argument matching parameter 'path' narrows from 'Object' to 'String'.
'Public Sub New(stream As System.IO.Stream)': Argument matching parameter 'stream' narrows from 'Object' to 'System.IO.Stream'."

So far, I have not been able to encapsulate the inner Using inside another one as this is what it would give.

Maybe your other message is what it is all about.
