The below line gives me an error on DialogResult.No saying: "Access of
shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an
instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated." It didn't give
me that in 2003. What does that mean?

If MessageBox.Show("Copy from " & fromDir & " to " & toDir & " ?", "",
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) = DialogResult.No Then
 
cj,

When you use DialogResult.No you are referencing the form's DialogResult
property, which is an instance of the DialogResult class.

Instead, use Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No to access the shared member.

Instead of typing DialogResult.No, type the fully qualified Shared
property:

System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No

There is a name clash between the form's 'DialogResult' property and the
'DialogResult' type, and the compiler will bind to the property instead of
the type. To solve the problem, qualify the type name:

\\\
If d.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
...
End If

Hi Cj,

I performed a test based on your sample code but didn't reproduce the
problem on my side.

The namespace "System.Windows.Forms" is imported automatically in WinForms
application projects. In my test project, it's same whether I add the
namespace to the expression 'DialogResult.No' (i.e.
System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No) or not.

But you may have a try adding the namespace to the 'DialogResult.No' to see
if the problem still exists.

If the problem still exists, you may send me a sample project that could
just reproduce the problem. To get my actual email address, remove "online"
from my displayed email address.
