The name 'Marshal' does not exist in the current context

Question

I got the code below from the bitmapmixer sample (DirectShow.NET) and i tried to reimplement it. The original sample works fine. In my version when I try to compile i get errors.

private void AddHandlers()
    {
        // Add handlers for VMR purpose
        this.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(Form1_Paint); // for WM_PAINT
        this.Resize += new EventHandler(Form1_ResizeMove); // for WM_SIZE
        this.Move += new EventHandler(Form1_ResizeMove); // for WM_MOVE
        SystemEvents.DisplaySettingsChanged += new EventHandler(SystemEvents_DisplaySettingsChanged); // for WM_DISPLAYCHANGE
        handlersAdded = true;
    }

    private void RemoveHandlers()
    {
        // remove handlers when they are no more needed
        handlersAdded = false;
        this.Paint -= new PaintEventHandler(Form1_Paint);
        this.Resize -= new EventHandler(Form1_ResizeMove);
        this.Move -= new EventHandler(Form1_ResizeMove);
        SystemEvents.DisplaySettingsChanged -= new EventHandler(SystemEvents_DisplaySettingsChanged);
    }

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The Marshal class is in the System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace. Do you have an appropriate using directive?

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

As for the other errors - do you have those methods in your class? If not, remove the lines which are trying to subscribe event handlers for them...

Answer 2

public static class Marshal is a Member of System.Runtime.InteropServices

you just have to add:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices; in that .cs file
