'Color' Assembly reference error

Question

_{Thursday, March 12, 2015 5:28 PM}

Hey, I get this error: "The type or namespace name 'Color' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

I tried google but cant find anything related to a 'Color' assembly reference.

Then notice the second part of the suggestion: “are you missing […] an assembly reference?”. You need a reference to System.Drawing assembly. Go to Solution Explorer, find the “References” node, right-click and select “Add Reference”. (Or select the project, then go to menu, PROJECT à Add Reference). Then add a reference to System.Drawing (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7314433t%28v=vs.90%29.aspx).

If still errors, then show some details about the code.

Am I just dumb for not figuring out or does no one have a clue?

If you see some ‘using’ directives at the beginning of the file, then add this one:

using System.Drawing;

If now you receive other errors, perhaps caused by missing assembly, then show them.

Thank you for your reply!

"using System.Drawing;" was already there when I got the error.
