I have a class that makes reference to a windows form. I am trying to make
that class a class library and when I include the window file, it says that
system.windows.form.form is not defined.

How can I make a library the includes a window?

TIA.

You must add a reference to System.Windows.Forms in your solution
explorer. This will allow you to reference forms objects in code. Hope this
helps! :-)

Make sure your class library project contains a reference to
"System.Windows.Forms.dll". You can add a reference to this DLL by
selecting the project's "References" folder in the solution explorer,
choosing "Add reference..." from its context menu and picking
"System.Windows.Forms.dll" from the ".NET" tab.
