[Mono-dev] System.Windows.Forms and mbas

[Thomas Cleenewerck]

I'm trying to get the following example working on winxp with mono-1.0.5:
 
imports System
imports System.Windows.Forms

Module Hello

sub Main()
dim f as new System.Windows.Forms.Form()
dim c as new Collection()
Console.WriteLine("Hello World vb.mono")
end sub 

end module
 I'm compiling the program using
 mbas /r:System.Windows.Forms helloworld.vb
 Upon execution I get the following error:
 Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Invalid Parameter. A null 
referen
ce or invalid value was found.
