Hi,
I'm a VB.net beginner (Willis/Newsome Beginning Visual Basic 2008) working through this Wrox paint program, now i have a problem with these errors which I don't know why they have arisen:
Warning 1 Variable 'objGraphicsItem' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime. (PaintCanvas)
Error 2 Event 'LeftClick' cannot be found. (Wrox Paint)
Any clues as to what is going on? I'm running visual studio 2008 vb.net 3.5
I've listed the 2 classes below.
