Dynamic Assembly

Hi y'all,

I was playing with the ability to dynamically create an assembly.

I created a windows application in which I created a CSharp program in a
disk file, compiled it etc. My problem is that the dll calls
MessageBox.Show() and this is causing errors in the compilation.

What I need to know is what assemblies must I employ (via 'using' and
CompilerParameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add()) to permit a dynamically
created dll to call MessageBox.Show()?

Thanx,
Bill

PS If 'using System;' references 'system.dll'
Does 'using qqq;' reference 'qqq.dll'?
What about 'using AAA.BBB.CCC'? Can I infer a dll name from the using
specification?

The MessageBox class is implemented in the System.Windows.Forms
assembly.

No, assemblies and namespaces are different things, though they tend
to have similar names.

No, the AAA.BBB.CCC namespace can be implemented in any number of
assemblies.
