Solution 1

You only include the namespace in the "using", not the class name

C#

using System.Drawing

If you're struggling to even create a class you're really going to struggle doing anything more advanced. I'd get a book on c# and start learning the basics before moving on to anything else.

Solution 2

You don't add a using statement for individual classes, just the namespace they are in:

C#

using System.Drawing;

You can then use the class:

C#

Bitmap bm = (Bitmap) Bitmap.FromFile(@"D:\Temp\MyImage.bmp");
