‘Form’ is an ambiguous reference between ‘System.Windows.Forms.Form’ and ‘Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Form’ – SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model

Posted by Rajanihanth in .Net, Client Object model, SharePoint 2010 on July 13, 2012

When you try to use the Client Object Model (SharePoint 2010) with Windows Application in Visual Studio 2010, you might be getting these error messages. (You can find the step by step instructions to use the SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model here)

Error Message:

'Form' is an ambiguous reference between 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' and 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Form'

Reason: The reason is obvious and we can get from the error message itself. Yes, after added the  SharePoint Client reference to the code, there is a conflict between ‘System.Windows.Forms.Form’ and ‘Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Form’! Initially our Form1 class inherits from Form class (by default System.Windows.Forms.Form) and currently our program confuses to choose the correct reference.

Solution: Provide full reference to the Form class will be the solution for this issue, so replace ‘Form‘ with ‘System.Windows.Forms.Form‘
After Replacing the code:

public partial class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
 {
 public Form1()
 {
 InitializeComponent();
 }
}

That’s all guys, Happy Programming with Client Object Model.

Thanks, R../

The type or namespace name ‘SharePoint’ does not exist in the namespace ‘Microsoft’ (are you missing an assembly reference?) – SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model dlls

Posted by Rajanihanth in .Net, Client Object model, SharePoint 2010 on July 13, 2012

When I started using the Client Object model (Client OM) in SharePoint 2010, I have got this simple error and I just want to share with you in this blog. Following was my develpment environment.

  • Windows 7, 64 bit
  • Console Application Visual Studio 2010
  • Added Client Object Model references (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll & Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll) to the solution

After setting up all the above, I was trying to add the client reference to the code ‘using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;‘and then I have got the following error and warnings 🙂

The text format of error is:

"The type or namespace name 'SharePoint' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)"

It’s an obvious error message and the reason of this error is:

SharePoint 2010 does not support .Net 4.0 in default and Visual Studio 2010 default framework is .Net 4.0.

Here are the simple steps to fix this:

Step 1: Right click on the project –> Properties

Step 2: Change the Target framework –> .Net Framework 3.5

Step 3: Warning message will be popping up, click Yes.

That’s all. Happy Coding..!

Please Note: If you use Windows Application then you will be getting an other error message! 😦 To solve this issue just click here.
