Point class in C#

Question

I'm pretty new to C# and I'm trying to do something but without much success. I am trying to use the class `Point` (the one with coordinates). This is the code: ``` using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace app2{ class Program{ static void Main(string[] args){ Point p1 = new Point(); p1.X = 7; p1.Y = 6; Console.WriteLine(p1.X); Console.WriteLine(p1.Y); Console.ReadLine(); } } } ``` The error is : The type or namespace Point could not be found I've been using this class in Java in a very similar manner, am I supposed to declare my own `Point` class/function which returns X and Y coordinates?

Accepted Answer

You should add a reference to your solution, to the namespace `System.Drawing`.

From the tab 'Solution Explorer', right click on 'References' and select 'Add Reference', as shown below:

In the new window, type in the search bar '`System.Drawing`'. Double click in the results found and click the button 'OK'.

Now, in your code, where the other `using` statements are declared, add the following line:

```
using System.Drawing;
```

Note: I noticed you're creating a new Console application. Be aware that, if you want to create a basic user interface, the `System.Drawing.Point` structure won't help you, because in a Console application you cannot interact with the user using buttons, labels and coordinates useful to place your UI items. In a Console application, you can interact only using plain text. If you want to create a simple application with a basic user interface, create instead a Windows Forms application.
