Brush Input Ambiguous reference Error

[EC_Chris]

When I copy the code this sample indicator on adding a brush color for NT 8:

I get the error that "Brush is an ambiguous reference between 'System.Windows.Media.Brush' and ' SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush'

Sorry, this issue has been resolved.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

This is likely due to the using statements in the script where this syntax is being copied. Both SharpDX and Windows have brush defined as a type.

If you are trying to use a System.Windows.Media.Brush like the sample, you would need to add:

using System.Windows.Media;

to the top of the file with the other using statements. But this will still conflict if you use both SharpDX and System.Windows.Media.

If you use both SharpDX brushes and 'System.Windows.Media.Brush, you would need to be explicit when you use them in your code. for example:

System.Windows.Media.Brush myBrush = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Red;

or

SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush myBrush;

I look forward to being of further assistance.
