Compilation Error "The name Convert is not declared"

[fabrice]

Hello

I'm getting an error during a .vb file compilation.

My command is :

vbc /t:library /r:system.web.dll /r:system.dll /r:mscorlib.dll myFile.vb


The error is :


Compilateur Microsoft (R) Visual Basic .NET version 7.10.6310.4
pour Microsoft (R) .NET Framework version 1.1.4322.2300
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1987-2002. Tous droits réservés.

F:\orespub\Encryption.vb(33) : error BC30451: Le nom 'Convert' n'est pas
déclaré.
Return Convert.ToBase64String(ms.GetBuffer(), 0, ms.Length)
~~~~~~~
F:\orespub\Encryption.vb(44) : error BC30451: Le nom 'Convert'
n'est pas
déclaré.

Dim buffer As Byte() = Convert.FromBase64String(value)


--> The name Convert is not declared.

The reference to mscorlib.dll assembly is realised. I don't understand the
error for the name Convert.
Which assembly do i used ?


Thanks for your help.

In your code, you have inserted the import for the namespace System?

imports System
imports System.Data
....

Fabrice,

Just use System.Convert.To...
