Hi,

I have serious issues setting up new PPC Form applications within the IDE ->
the Form Designer constantly returns the error: Form1---The base class
'System.Windows.Forms.Form' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has
been referenced or built if it is part of the project.

Thanks
 
Hi Ajay,

What settings are you using in the application wizard when you create the
project? This would typical of a DLL project

Try adding the assembly by right-clicking on the project in the solution
explorer and selecting "Add reference" (or selecting Project->Add Reference
from the main menu of Visual Studio). You should get an Add Reference
dialog. Select the .NET tab, then System.Windows.Forms in the list and
double-click. This will cause it to appear in the Selected Components
window. Press the OK button and the assembly is added to your project.

I have the exact same problem.

I've tried manually adding the reference with no results. I've uninstalled
/ reinstalled Studio 2003 multiple times with the same results. Each time,
when I select the .Net tab for references, I have to browse for them b/c
they are not automatically listed.
 
Even me to have serious issues, in adding up new forms and opening up new forms in a project which was written for Compact Framework (1.0.5000).

Have tried all combinations of DLLs, reference adding. Nothing worked out.
Is there any solutions?
