Compilation problem with WinForms

Hello
I am tring to compile the simple Hello World winforms version but I get the
following error:
error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'WinForms' does not exist in the
class or namespace 'System'

When I put a "/r:System.WinForms.dll" as a compiler parameter I get others
strange errors as:

System.WinForms.dll: error CS0011: Referenced class
'System.WinForms.Control' has unknown
base class or interface 'System.ComponentModel.MarshalByRefComponent'

and

System.WinForms.dll: error CS0011: Referenced class
'System.WinForms.RichControl' has unk
nown base class or interface 'Microsoft.Win32.Interop.IOleControl'

What is the problem?

Which shows you how to work out which DLLs to reference - Written for the
SimpleHelloWorld application.

I do hope Microsoft sort this out to help us newbies.

Cheers,

Matt.

I haven't needed to add either system.dll or the interop dll to the command
line in order to build the WinForms sample. The following command line
worked just fine for me:

vbc clientVBWin.vb /r:System.WinForms.dll /r:..\Bin\CompCS.dll
/r:..\Bin\CompVB.dll /r:..\Bin\CompVC.dll /out:..\bin\ClientVBWin.exe
/t:winexe

Would anyone care to speculate why others seem to need the additional dll's,
and my installation (done exactly according to the directions with no custom
tinkering) doesn't?

Slightly puzzled,
