why can not use ColorDialog

[Guest]

Hi ALL,

I want to use ColorDialog on my project, when I using
System.windows.Forms.ColorDialog,
It tells me that directory or reference is not correct.
I have added the referenc at:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE

why I can not use it?

I have checked msdn doc, it is implemented at NF2.0

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.colordialog_members(VS.80).aspx

any advise please!

Not a single method or property on that page says it has device support, so
I'd conclude from that (and the error you're seeng in Studio) that it's not
supported.

Not to mention the class itself not listed as supported on NETCF (so it's
not the case of documentation generator bug).

It's not implemented in the .NET Compact Framework. There are free
third-party implementations such as this for .NETCF 1.0:-

And I think it made it into the SDF 2.0, though I couldn't see it in the
documentation:-
