c# - 'Forms' does not exist in the namespace system.windows

Question

I have just started working on c#, and was fiddling with some code sample that I got from some forum.

This code is using a namespace using system.windows.forms for which I am getting an error:

Forms does not exist in the namespace system.windows.

Also I am getting some error related to undefined functions for senddown & sendup which I believe to be in the Forms name space.

I am using visual studio 10 (with .net frame work 4.0). Any idea how to fix this error?

Expand the project in Solution Tree, Right-Click on References, Add Reference, Select System.Windows.Forms on Framework tab.

You need to add reference to some non-default assemblies sometimes.

From comments: for people looking for VS 2019+: Now adding project references is Right-Click on Dependencies in Solution Explorer.
