Setting Dock for a Panel Causes "... Does Not Contain A Definition For 'Windows'

[Abby Brown]

Hi,

Whenever I set the dock style of a control I get "... does not contain a
definition for 'Windows" There are a lot of uses of
"System.Windows.Forms.xxx" but only those that set the dock style yield this
message. What is happening?

Thanks,
Gary

You're failing to provide us with the full error message, that's what's
happening. I have a guess, but with a full error message I can probably do
much better.

The message

"PDP1.CRTSystem does not contain a definition for 'Windows"

is all I get. On further fiddling, setting .Dock for any control on that
form yields the message. This is an existing form that I'm modifying. None
of the other forms have this problem.

Hmmm, sounds like a form behaving badly.... Next question: Are you setting
the Dock property via the designer (the Properties window) or through code?
If code, could you post the line when you're doing this?
