• Visual Studio Express Editions Not a member

  Results' is not a member of 'Working_Week_2_Coding_Assignment.Form1'. Why would I get the error message madref I would recommend scrapping this project and reading a basic, beginner book.

Sure, you can put it on the "Tools" menu, but that is ...Show All
