VB.NET 2005 DialogResult.OK?

[dm1608]

I'm opening my own form and doing something like:

If dlgDirectory.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
....
End If

When I compile the project, I can a warning for the line saying:

Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through
an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated.

It looks like it has something to do with DialogResult.OK, however I've seen
other code do the same thing.

What am I doing wrong?

Dialogresult is not only a type but also a property of the Form. Use the
FQN:

System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK

There is a name clash between the form's 'DialogResult' property and the
'DialogResult' type, and the compiler will bind to the property instead of
the type. To solve the problem, qualify the type name:

\\\
If d.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
...
End If
