Me.button1.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 8.25!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold)

the form designer errors when it is trying to load.

The type 'System.Drawing.FontStyle' has no property named 'Bold'.

My TypeResolutionService returns the type "System.Drawing.FontStyle".
i don't know what i could be doing wrong .... this same thing happens with other enums. any ideals

Much Thanks

The basic problem is that just by seeing the syntax, there's no way for NRefactory to know if B in "A.B" is a property or field. However, it has to return a CodeFieldReference or CodePropertyReference - if the CodeDomVisitor returns the wrong one, you'll get the error you are seeing.

NRefactory cannot solve this problem because it doesn't have information about what "A" is. You will have to implement the interface IEnvironmentInformationProvider and assign an instance of your implementation to CodeDomVisitor.EnvironmentInformationProvider.
