c# compilation problem

[Peter Drayton]

The compilers always look in the CORPATH environment variable, so you don't
need to use a full path. Change the reference to
/reference:System.WinForms.dll and it'll work.

I just downloaded the .NET SDK from MS (didn't attend the PDC, so I don't
have the VS.NET (yet...)).
I tried the samples under the .../IntroDev/CompTest and every thing went ok,
except for the WinForms sample.

The System.WinForms.DLL was installed on:
C:\WINNT\ComPlus\v2000.14.1812\System.WinForms.DLL-ZAP-8F
while this was in the build.bat file:
vbc ClientWinForms.vb
/reference:\winnt\complus\v2000.14.1805\System.WinForms.dll ...

I assumed the difference is in the version - maybe the PDC version and the
MSDN version are different?
Anyway, I changed it and it worked.

Now for my question - I tried to translate the program to C# and it didn't
compile, complaining several errors like this:

C:\WINNT\ComPlus\v2000.14.1812\System.WinForms.DLL-ZAP-8F\System.WinForms.dl
l: error CS0011: Referenced class 'System.WinForms.Control' has unknown base
class or interface 'System.ComponentModel.MarshalByRefComponent'

Does anyone knows what is wrong or why it works with VB and not with C#?
