I am getting compile time errors from the following line:
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;

Error 1 error C3083: 'Windows': the symbol to the left of a '::'
must be a type
Error 2 error C2039: 'Forms' : is not a member of 'System'
Error 3 error C2871: 'Forms' : a namespace with this name does not
exist

Besides adding the reference, as others have said, be careful with your
syntax, since you are using double colons where you need single dots:

using System.Windows.Forms;

If its a C#,

it is "." not "::"

add using sytem.Windows.Forms instead of system::Windows::Forms

-Cnu
