How to define a property as an Image data type?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

private Image _picture;
public Image Picture
{
get
{
return _picture;
}
set
{
_picture = value;
}
}

where I've declared "using System.Drawing" at the top of the file. But it
won't accept it. In fact, Intellisense doesn't even recognize
"System.Drawing".

Is it not possible to declare a property as an Image type?

public Image Picture
{
get
{
return _picture;
}
set
{
_picture = value;
}
}

Check your references: have you included a reference to System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)

The reason Intellisense is not showing System.Drawing is almost certainly related to the fact that your project ... when it was created ... did not have an active reference to that dll; or, somehow it has been deleted from the project's references.

Open the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio, open the References node in the treeview: if you don't see System.Drawing in the drop-down list of active project dll's, then right-click on References, select Add Reference, which will open the Reference Manager: find and add the System.Drawing.dll.
