Unknown entity 'Forms' of names 'Windows'

[Al]

This non-error error is drag because although I can write (and successfully compile) my code using
Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes
OR
DialogResult.Yes

JustCode doesn't like Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes and the Windows.Forms.DialogResult prefix is what is auto-populated using intellisense


For now, I simply highlighted the error in the JustCode error container and said 'Ignore Error', but I'm curious as to why it would give what is seemingly a false negative?

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback!
I assume the language for which this false error is shown is VB, isn't it?
Could you give us some more information, such as what versions of Visual Studio, Windows and JustCode you are using? This will help us in making a further investigation and finding the root of the problem.

We really appreciate your help!

VB
Visual Studio 2012
Windows 8.1
Latest version of JustCode (purchased March 2014 and have been doing all updates)
(I can't quote the exact version because believe it or not that PC just suffered the blues screen of death)

I am having the same issue as well.  Is there any solution to this?  I know we can just ignore the error, but I'm thinking that will also cause every real issue like this to be ignored...

I haven't heard of  any fix - I just keep deleting the prefix dropped in by intellisense

Hello,

Excuse us for the caused inconvenience!
The good news is that we've found what is causing this Good-Code-Red - there is a namespace Windows.Foundation.Diagnostics in mscorlib targeting .NET4.5(.1), so when JustCode is analyzing the whole type name "Windows.Forms...", JustCode's analyzer is picking the mentioned namespace first since its fully qualified name starts with 'Windows' rather than 'System' and therefore it can not resolve the correct type.
The bad news is that the fix will be time and resources consuming because there is a big infrastructure that is dealing with the namespace/type/member resolution, so each change might result in generating new false errors. 
I will raise the priority of this bug, so you can expect it in some future release.
Stay tuned!

Hi, 

We are now 5 months on.  Is there any update on the progress of this as I have the latest version installed and I'm still getting the same issue.

Hello,

I am really sorry for the inconvenience!

We have been quite busy working on the new version of JustCode and we didn't have the time to address these issues. We are aware that these false positives are one of the major issues for our clients and they will be gone in the new version as we will rely on Roslyn for C# and Visual Basic. In fact, we already released an early preview with Q1 2015 . Have in mind that thew new JustCode works only for Visual Studio 2015. An new internal build is coming the next few days, so please, stay tuned!
